Palmer Monicon L

I bought this as I have 2 pairs of monitors and headphones and wanted to easily and conveniently switch between them during mixing.

The Palmer Monicon helps you switch between various monitoring systems such as various speakers or headphones during mixing or your home theatre. It also has a mono button to easily collapse your mix to mono - so no more mono plugin buttons on that master bus!

But the biggest asset of this device is that the controls are sturdy so it helps builds a more disciplined & frame of reference of what levels you regularly monitor at. No more forgetting what volume you were at on that old flimsy volume knob!

The combination of this monitoring device and my small mixer has helped bring my modest small home studio up several notches to a more professional look and feel!

’ve been using the Palmer Monicon L for some time now, and everything works exactly as expected. The build quality feels solid, and the large volume knob is smooth and precise, making it easy to control monitor levels.

One of the most important aspects for me was the noise level, and I can confidently say there’s no buzzing in the speakers, and the overall noise floor is very low. The sound remains clear and transparent, with no noticeable coloration or distortion.

The connectivity options are great, allowing me to switch between different sources and outputs effortlessly. The mono, mute, and dim functions are useful and work flawlessly.

Overall, the Palmer Monicon L is a reliable, well-built passive monitor controller that does exactly what it should without introducing any unwanted noise. Definitely a great choice for anyone looking for a clean and efficient way to control their studio monitors.

Love at first sight, great for the enthusiast/mini-home studio setup!

I use it to switch between my CD Player and 3.5mm inputs onto my Yamaha HS8 monitors. The PFL headphone output is also a great feature which let's you switch flawlessly between both inputs regardless of what's being sent to the XLR outputs (they can be muted for all we care). The Stereo and Aux inputs have separate level control which is great if you want to match the level of the two for A/B comparisons.

The mono sum output is great but only works with output 2 which is kind of a downside if you have a sub that you want to run separately with both outputs.

Other than that, great quality build, the knobs and buttons feel solid and splendid audio quality!

Good Job Palmer!
