Great portable sound system for small events and parties. Very versatile with many inputs. Combined with a laptop or iPod delivers great sound.

Don't be fooled by the size and cost - this is one powerful and professional unit. Feedback suppression is amazing.

Great for medium size groups. We use it outdoors to play music and make announcements. Works great!

Great Pa system... It is powerful enough to cover 150 people in a cafe or small bar environment. Great for me and my guitar...I recommend this to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive, small and easy to carry pa system...

We use this product for adding a musical dynamic to chemistry demonstrations. The sound quality and portability of this product are wonderful. The only criticism we have is that the bright red jacks on the fronts of the speakers take away from the professional look of the system.

I am a scoutmaster and often have large groups of scouts at an event. I needed a good portable sound system that I could use. I borrowed a p80 system and found it to be so useful that I came back and bought the pd150.

I found the Fender PD150 to be suprisingly clear via microphone and line input on all volume ranges. When I first tested it, the quality was immediatley apparent. I used it at my wedding reception and several guests asked me about the system, commenting on it's clarity and volume.
The VIP feature(all other volumes like music drop when Microphone 1 is used) was very handy and worked well, so worries about my voice being drowned by the music or having to manually lower volumes were unfounded.
Microphone was solid and of good quality. Performed well and very clear.
The portable design is a GREAT convenient bonus.
My only problem with the system is there is not enough storage space in the device to store the speaker cables and AC cord. I had to add a small nylon bag tied to the handle to store these cables. A minor inconvenience to me, but a flaw on an otherwise perfect product to me.

As a professional audio engineer with 30 years of experience in the studio and in the field, I've used lots of different equipment. Doing gigs that required PA has always been a drag for me because it meant lugging heavy speakers and amps around. Not a big deal when you're in your 20's but at 50+, it's not so much fun. This little passport system has changed all that. I used it the other night for a poetry reading and last night for a pre-concert lecture. The poetry reading was in a very large room with an audience of about 150. In fact, I had to add 50 ft. of speaker cable to reach the back of the room! The passport system easily covered this large room with power to spare. In fact, at one point, I found myself turning the levels down!The speakers sound very good...more like quality audio components than PA speakers. This is a great system for DJ's or small acoustic bands. If you want head banging rock levels with wall shaking bass, there are bigger systems.The only thing missing is phantom power but you can't have everything in a less than [$] system that you can carry with one hand! Of course if you need phantom, or more mic inputs, you can always connect a small mixer to the line inputs and you're good to go. You can't fill a concert hall with it but other than that, there's not too much this little bundle can't do. Highly recommended.

I use this product for our congregations. It is excellent quality and great value for money.
I will highly recommend this system for presentations/ gathering of 50 to 100 people.

This portable sound system is already in Ghana, West Africa. It's under the 50lb. weight limit for airline check- in. It will be used in churches and in rural areas. I used one before which lasted almost 20 years.

Storing and schlepping gear to gigs can be difficult. This PA system packs a lot of punch in a portable, light weight package. Putting the speakers up on stands really helps in sound projection. Great clarity and volume for small and moderate venues. Perfect for jazz, acoustic electric, moderate rock & electronica that is not overdependent on booming bass. Not designed for noise rock or hip hop. If you need the volume & bass for noisier formats, go up to the PD 250 and consider an additional bass amp.

Working in Nursing homes there has to be a nice sound and be loud enough to hear in a group of up to 100. Start up and go!
from Kansas City, MO on 6/12/2007
It has been wonderful. Easy to use and projects well. All accessories purchased with it fit perfectly.
from Houston, TX on 6/8/2007
For a concise PA system, this is the best. After using it the first time, I truly love this gadget.
from Sacramento, CA on 6/4/2007
We purchased this system a couple of months ago to upgrade the sound support for rehersals in varied locations that didn't have built in PA's. This unit has worked wonderful. Has plenty of punch for a room up to a gymnasium. And these deluxe speakers are great. good solid base with wonderful upper end dispersal.
I am a full time professional childrens entertainer.
The first time I used the PD150, I had about 200 elementary age kids in the show. This was a test run on the system. It worked well for me.
This past week I did 3 assemblies, elementary age again. In the first two programs I entertained 600 children in each show for 45 minutes plus, I was in total control with every childs undivided attention. It was absolutley incredible for me to perfrom for these students with plenty of room to get louder if neccesary. That was one of my concerns. I normally, as any childrens entertainer, do not want to do programs with that many in one setting.The third show was Family Night and is what I call an "uncontrolled enviroment".I was in control the entire evening! The PD150 was great and the set-up is minimal and the Fender tripods are the most professional look possible.
