Palmer MI DMS

The product is unusable as it has a very tangible ?pop? sound when pressed. In a normal PA system, the pop is perceivable over the entire set of instruments in a full live session. This is unacceptable as I bought it for the talk-back function with the sound engineer and with my band. When I press it, people on the dance floor turn their heads to the speakers as they hear the obvious ?pop? sound.
Update - The product works fine if used only with a direclty plugded in mic. However if you plan to use it for any kind of efect pedal, it wont work

My normal live mic signal path is through a vocal doubler then into the desk, but sometimes I want a shortish burst of vocoder sound, so I "stamp" on the pedal, routing my mic to the audio input of a synth, do my vocoder part, let go of the pedal and I'm back to normal. There's no nasty switching noise and is well built so is great for live usage.

Sturdy solid pedal, it does the job. But for me it is unusable in a live situation because you hear a very present pop/click sound when you release the button. I tried two pedals without phantom power, happened to both. I returned it, unfortunately.

We use this to operate a talk-back feature on our stage. It has made conversing with the guys on the PA desk and others in the band so much easier.
We use it in a church setting, and its great for when the band add an extra song, or even if a message needs to be passed on subtly to other band members.

I have never experienced any issues with popping or the pedal sticking. Brilliant piece of kit and highly recommend for anyone wanting a talk-back.

Nicely constructed and with a reassuring weight. XLR sockets are good quality as is chasis. Somewhat limited as regards features given it's modest remit and it seems a shame there is no function for latching the switch in an on and/or off position which would greatly increase the potential uses and versatility of the device. Switch was also slightly spongy and in heavy shoes there is a chance that it would be hard to be sure you were pressing it all the way down thus potentially reducing its efficacy in live situations. Overall, provided this is all you are looking for, it does a job.

Nuestros cantantes estan felices con esta solucion para en un solo microfono poder tener su salida a la audiencia/publico y a los talckback de los musicos y del sonidista

I think the Palmer MI DMS is a great little invention. I use it as an MD talkback and it has performed flawlessly. Really glad i purchased it. It was very well priced too.

The build is very very good, as the signal quality .
i use it on my IEM sistem talkback for FOH. its a life saver!!!
no more hand signals to the sound team.

Palmer is just one of the best brands out there.

Must have for comunicatin if you're using inear...

Feels very well built, but I had to return it cause it made a relatively loud 'pop' when swtiching outputs... I bought a Radial HotShot instead.
