Palmer Audio MONICON XL Active Studio Monitor Controller

Switching between different signal sources and monitors is one of the most common tasks in any studio. Ergonomic console design and two clearly structured control levels makes the Palmer MONICON XL an intuitive nerve centre for all your requirements. Selecting audio sources and loudspeakers is convenient and happens at the touch of a button.

The Palmer studio monitor controller features three analog stereo inputs, one S/PDIF input and outputs for three monitor pairs, each with its own volume controller for level calibration. A further mono summed full-range output is also available for connecting either a mono monitor or a subwoofer. An exclusive highlight of the MONICON XL is its correlation meter, which displays the phase difference between a stereo signal’s left and right channels. This facilitates the quick and simple discovery of mono-compatibility errors in mixes. The controller is also customizable to your personal work style.

Its fully analogue audio circuit means that the MONICON XL demonstrates absolutely no latency or signal distortion. Additional features that are a must for any studio make the device far more than simply a monitor controller. Two headphone outputs with volume controllers and main cue selector switches, a cue master controller and an on/off talkback microphone with volume control are all also included. There is also a mute button and a dim button, with volume control, that instantly reduces the monitor level by a pre-set amount.
