Palmer PAN 01 5-stars Reviews

Palmer PAN 01

These boxes are a great little purchase and very useful especially for practicing or capturing a dry signal to a separate path.

They are solidly built and very easy to use as well as being quite transparent. I can not detect any real colouration of sound after running a guitar through this unit.

Great DI

A sturdy DI that you can depend on.

I use this and a Radial DI, this is just as good when it comes to sound.

The radial is a bit more sturdy, but it cost's alot more.

I recomend this!

Palmer PAN 01 passive DI box

I bought this as a general DI box to have for various applications. It has low noise and is, like any good DI, not noticeable since it does its job unobtrusively. It has all the requisite features of a pad and ground lift. The switches are well protected by the structure of the enclosure resulting in a sturdy little unit. Highly recommended.

Everything I expect from a passive di box.

Absolutely silent, built like a tank but still not overly large. Has all the features I need (-30dB pad, ground lift). For this price, the transformer is of course not jensen-quality, but the frequency response seems very good, no noticeable loss of lows even with drop tuned bass.

A little helper in many situations

My band wanted to use some samples on stage, so we needed an DI box. We went the safe way and bought or own since not every location has enough of these.

We connected it with our live equipment and nothing more than a XLR cable is needed, to bring all the samples to the PA. Pretty cool.

At work I do a lot of jam and recording sessions with young musicians and this little thing became a lifesaver. I use three of these to record the DI tracks from guitars and bass, so we can later reamp everything and mix it with the original signal.

It does it job very well and the quality is very good!

I never had any Issues with a Palmer product.

Di Box

I brought this about two years ago now and the product is still working as well as the day i brought it. Its a middle of the road product but you get what you need out of it. Nice clear sound with almost zero interference. I also has an option to boosted it so that the feed becomes louder.

i have been using this product to send click tracks to a sound desk for live performances.

never had a problem with it. It has nice bright Yellow writing on it the helps finding sockets in the dark on gig nights.

would recommed this product to anyone looking for a good id box

Excellent D.I Box

This D.I box is very well built, sounds great and splits the signal without any problems. I'm using it to balance the signal of my acoustic guitar and also to split a bass into my desk and an amp. I can't complain. It does what it says it does!

Palmer quality

I like these palmer products. The price is very affordable, design robust and sound good. I have several Palmer products and use them regularly for stage sound.

This small box no exception. Good for guitar and works with bass.

Recommend.

Very good passive DI

I like the quality of this DI, and use it to connect instruments (guitar/bass) directly to the sound interface of my computer, even if the inputs of the sound interface support instrument connected directly. The main reason is that using the thru connection I can connect it also to the amplifier, and record the dry guitar signal, as well as the miced or DI'd amplifier. For habit, though, even if no amp is used, I still plug into the interface with this. Plus this thing is built like a tank and will never break.

Versatile DI-Box

The passive Palmer PAN 01 is a really great DI-Box for its price point. I use it primarily for recording and practicing guitar and bass at home. I bought it in the first place due to the limited headroom of my interface, the Focusrite Saffire Pro 24.

After a little time I also did some reamping which worked absolutely flawless.

Since the PAN 01 is a passive DI-Box, it reduces the signal's level when the impedance is being transformed. If the gain is way too high the -30dB switch helps reducing it to a proper level.

The original signal does not seem to be coloured, which might be the most important thing for most users.

On the upsides it also comes with an ground lift switch, it is well built and it comes with a 5 year warranty.

great D.I box for little money!

I am using this D.I. box in ?reverse? to reamp di files from my usb audio interface to my amp. The groundlift works like a charm, it eliminates all that annoying hum and buzzing I used to get when I connected my soundcard directly to my amp. This makes my recording process so much better, I can now just track D.I.s and worry about my guitar tone later while reamping. I never had the chance to use this baby on stage but I can tell you, it´s built like a tank, never failed on me in the studio and probably never will when you use it on stage.

Reamping

You don't have to spend hundreds for a DI box. Excellent sound quality compared with a build quality that will allow you to drive a tank over the little black box. All jacks are solid an properly screwed to the metal case. The small ground lift button as well as the -30dB pad button do their jobs porperly!

I primarily use the Palmer PAN 01 (in combination with the active PAN 02) for reamping purposes:

1) Guitar -> PAN 02 -> Interface -> PC

2) PC -> Interface -> PAN 01 -> Amp -> Microphone -> Interface -> PC

The sound quality is excellent: no hum, no noise!

If i ever need one more passive DI box, i know which one to buy: Palmer PAN 01

You can't get more for your bucks.

Great passive DI

My old Orange OR120 has no DI-out included so I was looking for a DI-Box that i could connect to the power out of my valve amp if i cant get miced. As a bass player the soundguy often doesnt wanna mic you and with this DI i can give him the sound of my amp with added outputvalve distortion.

Palmer PAN 01 DI-Box

The Palmer is a small and sturdy passive DI-Box at a fair price.

I tried it on bass and electric guitar in order to record them directly on a interface without hi-z-inputs. On both instruments it gets the job done very well.

The "link out" works as is should. Using it on the signal chain between guitar and amp lets you record the "dry" signal coming out of your guitar while playing through your amp. This way you can use the DI-Box to get a clean signal for reamping.

Additionally there is a grould lift and a -30db pad button, which both work well.

Because of the low price, the sturdy design and the fairly good sound i wouldn't settle for a cheaper passive DI-box.

Cheap and reliable

If there was a DI box that everyone should call their own, this might be the one. It is cheap, built from sturdy metal and doesn't mind being thrown around and stepped on. It does not include a lot of features, but they are practical and sufficient for the intended use. Also, it does not color the sound, but that's what it's designed for.

There might be more sophisticated solutions, but you simply cannot beat this thing for the price tag.

Good clean DI at a great price.

I can't really fault it. Well built metal and solid construction,well labeled and easy to read. All the features I could need in a standard DI. Great for DI guitar where you later want to reamp or use a plugin. Link out is useful so you can take a DI and send to an amp as well.
