Palmer ABO Balanced Line Output Switch

The Palmer PEABO is an outstanding balanced line output switch with a single input and two outputs. It's an ideal pick for routing a signal to one of two possible destinations. You can easily switch your vocal mic between the FOH and monitor mixing desk to talk with the monitor mixer or the band on stage. There are two distinct sound set - ups, allowing you to switch between different effects or sounds on your microphone, like a 'telephone effect' or more reverb levels. Connect the PEABO's outputs to two different channels of the mixing desk, each with its own configuration. You can freely switch between them on - stage at any time. It can also route the signal to two rooms or zones and let you select either one. Switching is controlled by a tough foot switch, and a red LED indicates the selected output. Slide switches offer attenuation options: 15 dB for output A and 6, 15, or 21 dB for output B. A ground lift switch gets rid of earth loop hum. It comes in a solid metal case with extended edges to protect the input and outputs well. Pre - drilled holes make it easy to mount in a rack or on a pedalboard. The PEABO's circuitry is all - passive, and it needs a 9V block battery to power the LED.

Using the Palmer PEABO is quite straightforward. First, connect your audio source to the input using an XLR connector. Then, connect the two outputs to your desired destinations, like different channels on a mixing desk or to different rooms. To switch between the outputs, just step on the foot switch. The red LED will show you which output is currently selected. When it comes to sound adjustment, use the slide switches to set the attenuation levels for output A and B according to your needs. The ground lift switch can be used if you notice any earth loop hum. As for maintenance, keep the unit in a dry and clean place. Since it uses a 9V block battery to power the LED, make sure to replace the battery when it runs out. Also, when mounting it in a rack or on a pedalboard, use the pre - drilled holes and appropriate screws for a secure fit.
