Palmer Monicon XL

Switching between different signal sources and monitors is arguably one of the most common tasks in any studio. With its ergonomic console design and two clearly structured control levels, the Palmer MONICON XL is the perfect, intuitive control center for all your needs. Selecting audio sources and speakers is quick and easy with the touch of a button.

The Palmer studio monitor controller features three analog stereo inputs, an S/PDIF input, and outputs for three pairs of monitors with individual volume controls for level balancing. An additional mono-summed full-range output allows for the connection of either a mono monitor or a subwoofer. An exclusive highlight of the MONICON XL is the correlation meter, which displays the phase difference between the left and right channels of a stereo signal. This allows you to quickly and easily detect mono compatibility issues in your mix. To support your personal workflow, you can customize the controller

Thanks to its fully analog audio circuitry, the MONICON XL exhibits absolutely no latency or signal coloration. With additional features essential for any studio, the unit is far more than just a monitor controller. Two headphone outputs with volume controls and main cue selectors, a Cue Master control, and a switchable, volume-adjustable talkback microphone are all included, as are a mute switch and a dim button with volume control that instantly reduces the monitor level by a preset amount.
