The Palmer PAN16 8-Channel DI Box has a passive design wrapped in a 19 inch, 1U rack unit designed for demanding and professional audio rigs. This DI features Palmer's innovative Merge Link/In function, where the front Link outputs can also serve as a second input when needed. This means that up to sixteen inputs can be processed, even despite the eight channel configuration, making this model a great pick for more complex stages where extra input options will always come in handy. Interference-Free Sound Over a Long Distance The PAN16 comes outfitted with two PAD buttons per channel for 10, 20 or 30 decibel signal attenuation, so every signal can be accurately adjusted to counter distortion. Each XLR output has also been transformer isolated and balanced, resulting in interference-free audio, clean of any noise or ground-loop interruptions - a must if you're bridging wide distances with longer cables or working in environments with a lot of electrical noise. Simplified Expansion Options Besides the packed front panel, the Palmer PAN16 comes fitted with eight extra Link ports lined up along the rear panel, boosting the expansion potential. Via these ports, both the process of stacking multiple DI boxes in series and the job of routing signals out to external equipment is simplified. The 19 inch 1U rack design, meanwhile, keeps the whole thing neat and compact and, above all, efficient - fully polishing off a flexible and reliable tool for audio professionals.
