A practical problem-solver

David715 14.05.2013

Perfect if you have a keyboard/sampler set-up that requires several DIs as it's compact and rack-mountable. It isn't a cure-all for ground loops and faulty wiring but providing everything else is working OK, the Palmer does the job. Note, it comes with a hard-wired euro plug so you'll need an adaptor for UK supplies.

A very hany addition to your rack

Fancy STV 16.03.2016

I use the Palmer PAN 03 mostly for synths. It is a very convenient way of accessing my mixers inputs, as the unit is rack located near my synth outputs. I much prefer the sound of DI'd synth as it seems to make the sound more vibrant. The input jack are smooth to use and the pad and ground lift buttons feel solid and reliable. The over all build of the unit is solid. The only thing I don't like is the having to use an external power supply to power the DI rack, as it does not operate using phantom power from your mixer.

Sounds great unless pushed hard

Tom Gibson 16.11.2017

Great unit, well built and rugged. I have noticed that when it is pushed hard it doesn't clip, it exhibits a resonance ringing kind of sound. This happened first when I was DI'ing at speaker level with the pad in (as advertised possible) making me worry about my amp and again when I drove it hard with a pedal without the pad, its odd and when not driven it in no way sounds faulty, it could be to do with the power supply I'm using possibly though so im not holding it against the unit in the review. Overall a good unit.

Seit Jahren im Einsatz

ClemensMB 17.07.2011

Wir haben die Palmer seit mehr als 5 Jahren im Einsatz. Wir sind eine Acoustic Rock Band, mit ca. 20 Gigs im Jahr. Die Abgriffsmöglichkeiten vorne und hinten sind bei uns von Sinn, da wir die rückwärtigen Ausgänge direkt in unserer Stage Box auf einen Multipin gelegt haben. Wenn wir mal Signale zusätzlich abgreifen müssen, ist das mit den vorderen Ausgängen kein Problem.
Das Ding rauscht nicht, ist gut verarbeitet, hat unsere E Acoustic Band im Vergleich zur vorherigen passiven Version deutlich soundmäßig nach vorne gebracht ....(klingt transparenter, die Obertöne kommen zum Tragen)

Zu dem Preis kennen wir nix besseres und die Zuverlässigkeit hat uns gelehrt:
wir haben preiswert gekauft.
Das fest verkabelte Netzteil ist uns im Case lieber, als eine unverriegelte Kaltgeräte Lösung. Das ist aber Geschmacksache. Wir können die DI einfach nur weiterempfehlen. Tut was sie macht, klingt nicht (also verfärbt den Klang nicht), ist robust, praxisorientiert. Bei den Features haben wir "nur" vier Sterne gesetzt, aber was soll eine DI Box auch an sinnlosen zusätzlichen Features haben?
