The Palmer PAN16 is an 8-channel passive DI box in a 19" 1U rack format. Through the special MERGE LINK/IN function, the front LINK output can be used as a second input. The signal is then mono-merged with the one from the INPUT jack through to the output. Thus, the PAN16 offers a maximum of 16 inputs. Two PAD buttons enable attenuation of 10, 20, or 30 dB. The XLR outputs are electrically isolated and balanced via the transformer. 8 additional LINK-sockets are also available on the rear panel of the device.
