PALMER PPB20S Pro Press Patch Box – Press Patch Box 10-channel stereo / 20-channel mono

A stereo version of the PPB20 is also available. Instead of having one microphone and one line input the stereo version has two line inputs.

The first input is split on to the upper row of outputs i.e. on to the odd channels whereas the second line input is split on to the lower row of outputs, i.e. the even channels.

The PPB10 is a compact version of the well known and established PPB20 from Palmer. The PPB10 is a 10 channel audio splitter for press conferences and other applications. On a transformer split basis, one line input is split out to ten outputs.

• All inputs and outputs are balanced transformer isolated
• Extremely reliable: Should one output be shorted, the other outputs remain unaffected
• Line input and outputs
• Adjustable input gain (-∞ to +25dB)
• Level meter
• Headphone output to monitor the input level, headphone volume adjustable
• Individual ground lift switches for each output
• Ground Lift switch for the input
• Expandable setup thanks to the Bus In/Out sockets - allowing you to cascade numerous PPB10 (or PPB20)
