The Palmer PAN16 revolutionises studio connectivity by packing 8 channels of passive DI functionality into a single 1U rack unit, making it an essential tool for professional audio environments. This 19-inch rack-mounted unit features innovative MERGE LINK/IN functionality that allows the front LINK output to serve as a secondary input, creating a mono merge with the primary INPUT jack signal. This clever design effectively doubles the input capacity, providing up to 16 inputs when fully utilised.
Professional-grade signal management comes standard with dual PAD buttons offering precise attenuation control at 10, 20, or 30 dB levels. The unit maintains signal integrity through transformer-isolated XLR outputs that provide balanced, electrically isolated connections for optimal performance. Additional connectivity options include 8 LINK sockets positioned on the rear panel, giving engineers maximum flexibility for complex routing scenarios.
Built for demanding studio and live applications, the PAN16 combines robust construction with intelligent design to handle multiple signal sources efficiently. Its compact 1U form factor maximises rack space while the passive design ensures reliable operation without requiring external power, making it an ideal solution for both permanent installations and mobile recording setups.
