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 wupper, kyll,
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 micro-
phone 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 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.
