INTRODUCTION
A DI box (Direct Injection) serves the purpose of connecting instruments with an electric output directly to the microphone input of a mixer or stage box, bypassing the acoustic signal chain (instrument – loudspeaker – microphone). Beyond adjusting the signal level, a DI box also balances the signal and lowers its impedance. This ensures the signal is less susceptible to interference and cable losses. Palmer DI boxes incorporate audio transformers, guaranteeing galvanic isolation between the input and output. It is important to note that a passive DI box should not be used for galvanically isolating a line signal, as the transfer ratio is not 1:1 in such cases. Instead, opt for a line isolation box like Palmer’s RIVER supper, kill, and Iller.
CONNECTIONS
Connect the unbalanced output of your instrument to the input of the PAN01 using a shielded jack cable. This input signal is directly looped to the THRU connector, meaning you can pass the uncharged original signal on to a further device (e.g., to connect the instrument to an amplifier). The XLR/m output named “Balanced Out” should be connected to the microphone input of a stage box or mixer using a balanced, shielded microphone cable
ATTENUATOR
This switch allows for a 30dB reduction of the input signal. Use the 0dB
setting for all signals with a level of +6dBu (line level). For stronger
signals or when using the DI box between an amplifier and a speaker, employ
the -30dB setting. Generally, use the Attenuator switch in such a way, that
the microphone input receives an appropriate signal.
GROUND LIFT SWITCH
As stated above, the PAN01 achieves galvanic isolation between input and
output (galvanic isolation means there is no conducted connection; the signal
is transferred on the basis of magnetic induction), preventing ground loop hum
caused by double grounding (e.g., when a mains- powered instrument or
amplifier is connected to a mixer). Despite galvanic isolation, occasional hum
loops or noise may arise due to unintended earthing issues. The ground lift
switch interrupts the earth connection, minimizing ground loop interference.
So if there is an audible hum in the signal, press the ground lift switch. In
general, lift the ground when connecting two mains-powered devices and do not
lift the ground when dealing with a battery-powered device.
