Palmer PAN02PRO Overview

Treat your on-stage or in-studio instrument to the Palmer PAN 02 PRO, an active DI box with an array of features. For instance, in addition to the 1/4" input, you'll also note the unbalanced XLR input. A three-way attenuator is on hand, so you can pad the signal at -10, -20 or -30 dB. Furthermore, you can add 12 dB of gain if needed.

A ground-lift switch provides an additional position that provides something between soft and hard grounding—a position which is often the most optimal when connecting the soundcard of a computer to a DI.

The output utilizes a high-quality transformer for galvanic isolation, which helps mitigate any extraneous, unmusical noise. The PAN 02 Pro can be powered either with a 9V battery, or 48V phantom power from the board.

I/O Possibilities
With the additional XLR input, unbalanced XLR inputs can thus be converted into balanced outputs. If the signal is to be simultaneously connected to a different amplifier, use the "Link" jack as a parallel connector for looping the signal.
Powering Options
the PAN 02 can be powered by a 9V battery as well as through the existing 48V phantom power available in many mixing consoles.

On the Palmer PAN 02 PRO Active DI Box What would happen if you plug in a xlr balanced signal into the the input labeled xlr unbalanced?
Asked by: Jeremy
You would not experience any problems if you connect a balanced signal via XLR to the unbalanced XLR input on the Palmer PAN 02 PRO Active DI Box. The input will be grounded once it is connected and there is a ground switch as well as a transformer-balanced output which helps mitigate any unwanted noise.
