PALMER PPB20 Pro Press Patch Box – Press Patch Box 20-channel

The Press Patch Box is a special kind of audio signal distributor intended for use at press conferences. It features separate inputs for microphone and line signals (from a mixing console output).

Also available as stereo version (PPB20S)

A high quality input amplifier with a transformer balanced input provides a wide dynamic range. A total of 20 transformer-balanced XLR/m outputs with separate paired driver circuits make it possible to connect up video cameras and other recording equipment.

The nominal output level is +4 dBu at 600 Ω. Channels 19 and 20 have TRS jack sockets for balanced/unbalanced signals and also phono sockets (-10 dBu nominal level).

Where more than 20 outputs are required, additional PPB 20s can be hooked up via a rear BUS IN/OUT socket. Signal monitoring is provided by a 10 LED strip displaying a range of -40 to +10 dB (0 dB in the display = 4 dBu output) and an adjustable headphones amplifier.

The PPB20 has an integral, shielded power supply unit. An extra DC input makes it possible to connect up a (backup) battery power source. A PW4 can provide the necessary backup power supply for two PPB20s.

Input:

• Transformer-balanced, 4 XLR/f sockets, with paired front/rear parallel connections for separate microphone/line signals.
• Nominal Input Impedances: Microphones 200 Ω, Line = 5 kΩ
• Max. input levels: microphones = 0 dBu, Line = +20 dBu
• Max. amplification: microphones = +66 dB, Line = +22 dB (constantly adjustable via switch and potentiometer).

Output:

• 20 XLR/m, 2x TRS jack, 2x phono, all transformer-balanced and floating with separate ground lift switches at rear
• Nominal output impedances: XLR = 300 Ω, jack and phono = 600 Ω
• Nominal output levels: XLR = +4 dBu/20 dBu max.; jack/phono = -10 dBu, + 6 dBu max
• Headphones output: Stereo jack socket, with mono tip + ring, Designed for use with 8 Ω - 200 Ω headphones (constantly adjustable level).
• 10 LED strips displaying a range of -40 to +10 dB.
• Bus input/output (mono jack)
• Power Supply: 230 VAC or ± 12 V to ± 18 VDC, 15 Watts.
• Housing: 19'', 3 U, approx. 200 mm deep.

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)
