Fender knows the importance of sound reinforcement. From the simple box-top mixer to today's professional touring concert systems, the need to communicate, to make the connection between the performer and the audience is foremost in Fender's mind.
Perhaps no other single piece of gear can make or break your band's sound. You see, your sound system is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. It is an integral part of the audio chain and should be treated with special care and attention to detail.
At Fender, we know what building quality musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment is all about. In fact, many of the world's best sounding electric musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment proudly wear the Fender name.
Whether you need a simple box top powered mixer for your Saturday afternoon jam, or a professional full-size concert system, Fender has the sound reinforcement equipment to meet your needs. Likewise, your decision to purchase Fender pro audio gear is one you will appreciate with each performance for years to come.
Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt thank you,

The PowerStage 100: a 100 watt powered monitor and general purpose compact sound system from your friends at Fender® Pro Audio. We are sure you will find the PowerStage 100 to be both a unique and effective sound reinforcement product, providing years of trouble-free service.
Enclosed in a quasi-trapezoidal floor monitor style cabinet, the PowerStage 100 includes a 3 channel preamp, a power amp, a power supply and a fullrange coaxial speaker system. With three angles of orientation, inputs for microphones and a variety of musical instruments, the PowerStage 100 is suitable for nearly every monitoring application. The PowerStage 100 also features a unique detachable wired remote control panel. All volume levels and frequency shaping can be controlled via the remote panel allowing for adjustments from the "performance position".
The versatile input panel and detachable remote control unit combined with the 100 watt power amplifier makes the PowerStage 100 the perfect general purpose compact sound system. With phantom power, 1/4 inch phone TRS and 3-Pin XLR female input connectors and a stereo RCA input connection, the PowerStage 100 can accommodate almost any input signal. By connecting a multieffects unit through the insert jack and adding the optional PowerStage Xpander 100, you now have a PA system ready for any small club or intimate setting.

CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS
Designed for maximum flexibility, the wired remote control section is the "brain" of the PowerStage 100. Whether hand held or mounted to a mic stand, the wired remote control unit governs all volume levels, frequency shaping and features a 1/4 inch headphone jack for personal monitoring. Constructed from rugged 18 gauge electrogalvanized steel and secured in place via ball stud and Tinnerman clips, the remote unit handles the most demanding, day to day setup and performance situations.

control. Rotating the knob |
|||
clockwise increases volume. |
||||
|
Because the Mic 1 input and |
|||
|
the Mic 1 output connections |
|||
|
are "daisy chained", adjusting |
|||
|
the volume control will not |
|||
|
affect the Mic 1 output signal to |
|||
B |
the main mixing console. |
|||
B. MIC 2 / INST - The Mic 2 / |

Rotating |
||
|
the knob clockwise increases |

volume. |
Any adjustments to |

D. MASTER LEVEL - Adjusts
the overall volume level of the PowerStage 100. Again, rotating the knob clockwise increases volume. If the
optional PowerStage Xpander 100 is connected to the system, the master level also controls the output volume for the other unit.
E. LOW CUT - Designed to attenuate low frequency noise or "stage rumble", the LOW CUT knob is a variable corner (shelving) frequency control. By slowly rotating the knob, any undesirable low frequency noise, such as rumbling of a rocking microphone stand, can be diminished.
