Product Description
The Palmer PAN02 is the active counterpart to the legendary PAN01. While a passive DI box is great for high-output instruments, the Active PAN02 is the superior choice for low-output or "quiet" sources like older keyboards, piezo acoustic guitar pickups, and high-impedance studio gear.
By using active circuitry, the PAN02 provides a much higher input impedance than a passive box, ensuring that the natural tone and frequency response of your instrument are preserved without "loading down" the signal.
Key Technical Features
Active Circuitry: Delivers a cleaner, more robust signal with a wider frequency response (10Hz – 20kHz).
Dual Power Options: Operates on either a standard 9V battery or +48V Phantom Power directly from your mixing console, with an LED indicator to show when power is active.
Ultra-High Input Impedance: Ensures that even the most delicate high-impedance signals are captured with absolute fidelity and zero tone loss.
Selectable Attenuation (0, -30dB): A high-quality pad switch allows you to handle everything from quiet studio signals to the "hot" output of a guitar amplifier.
Ground Lift Switch: Instantly eliminates 50/60Hz hum and buzz caused by ground loops in complex stage or studio setups.
Built for Professional Performance
Road-Ready Chassis: Housed in the signature Palmer heavy-duty, powder-coated steel enclosure designed for life on the road.
Protected Controls: All switches and jacks are recessed into the frame to prevent accidental changes or physical damage.
Link Output: Includes a 1/4" (6.35mm) "THRU" jack to send the signal to an on-stage monitor or amplifier while simultaneously sending the balanced XLR signal to the PA.
