    (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Intellijel Designs, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Any digital equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
  • Page 4: Overview

    OVERVIEW   Intellijel’s Palette cases are compact enough to slip into a small bag, and shallow enough to rest comfortably on a desktop — yet their capabilities far exceed their size. They’re available in two widths: 62HP and 104HP, and each is as stylish as it is practical; as durable as it is portable; and every bit as flexible as your imagination allows.

    The Palette 62 uses a 40W adapter, while the Palette 104 uses a 60W adapter). To ensure proper power is applied to all your modules, use only Intellijel certified power adapters.
  • Page 6 [3] MULT A The first of two (62HP) or three (104HP) built-in 1 x 4 buffered signal multipliers. Plug an audio or CV signal into the left-most jack and a buffered duplicate of that signal appears at the four jacks to its right.
  • Page 7 IMPORTANT : You should not attempt to connect multiple modules to a single pair of ¼” TRS jacks, as unexpected results may occur. NOTE: Palette Cases do not support Intellijel’s old Audio IO 1U module, and will not connect to it in any way.
  • Page 8 , where it can be connected to a MIDI input module, such as the Intellijel MIDI 1U or the older µMIDI 1U. [12] Mounting for 1U modules Depending on which Palette Case you own, this area provides either 62HP or 104HP of mounting space for Intellijel-format 1U modules.
  • Page 9: Circuit Board

    CIRCUIT BOARD   Running along the back edge of the Palette cases are their built-in circuit boards, which contain all of Palette’s audio, midi, power, and module connection circuitry. The jacks and switches that run along the top of the circuit board were discussed earlier in the Panel description.
  • Page 10 ¼” TRS connectors on the top of the Palette. The Palette 62 has one Audio Jacks Connector (for its single pair of TRS jacks), while the Palette 104 has two Audio Jacks Connectors (for its two pairs of TRS jacks). Some examples: ●...
  • Page 11 Link Connector (described later), or unexpected results may occur. [C] MIDI Connector Connect this 10-pin connector to your Intellijel MIDI 1U or µMIDI 1U modules using the cable included with your MIDI module. This allows you to use the Pallete’s USB MIDI or ⅛” TRS MIDI Jack(s) for connecting your eurorack system to standard MIDI gear.
  • Page 12 [D] Link Connector Use this 3-pin connector to attach either a Mixup module or a Pedal I/O module to the two ¼” connectors on the top of the Palette. ● Mixup (OUT) : Connect the 3-wire link cable (provided with your Mixup module), between the Link Connector on the Palette circuit board and the CHAIN-OUT connector on your Mixup.
  • Page 13 [E] 5V Connectors Connect these 5V connectors to any modules that require a 5V power source. You can also use this to power an Intellijel USB Power 1U module, which (for example) is useful for connecting a small USB gooseneck LED light.
  • Page 14: Connecting Two Audio Modules To The Palette 104

    Connecting Two Audio Modules to the Palette 104   Because the Palette 104 has two pairs of Audio Jacks, it’s possible to connect different devices to each pair of jacks. For example, you could connect two Stereo Line Out 1U modules (one to each 6-pin Audio Connector) to have 4 audio outputs.
  • Page 15: Installation Tips

    INSTALLATION TIPS   Palette was designed to provide maximum performance and compatibility in the smallest possible space. Because of this, and in accordance with those pesky little laws of physics, it can sometimes be a little tedious to plug and unplug the various cables into the circuit board at the rear of the case. Fortunately, there are a couple of things you can do to make the process quicker and easier: ●...
  • Page 16: Understanding Buff Mults

    MULT A is multiplied and sent to eight outputs (four from MULT A and four from MULT B), giving you a single 1 x 8 buffered signal multiplier. Similarly, on the Palette 104, if nothing is plugged into either MULT B or MULT C’s input jacks, then the input to MULT A is multiplied and sent to all twelve outputs.
