| Content | Palmer Monicon, and the volume is right!
With Palmer Monicon, your monitor volume is always under control. The passive mini-mixer with the oversized control is inserted between the stereo output of the notebook, PC or interface and an active monitor system and thus permits convenient and precise volume control of the monitors from the workstation. The passive circuitry with only a few components has absolutely no affect on the sound. Mute and mono buttons make it possible to mute the outputs and merge the stereo output signal into a mono master signal.
The inputs and outputs of the controller are equipped with XLR connectors and the 3.5mm stereo TRS sockets usually found on computers. Combo input sockets also permit connection with 6.3 mm TRS plugs. Thus the Palmer Monicon is compatible with both professional and consumer equipment. Genuine wood sides make the practical studio tool in its massive powder-coated sheet steel housing an elegant looking "little helper" that is a typical Palmer product.

The Nano Patch+ really comes into its own when connected between your computer audio interface/soundcard master outputs and a pair of active (powered) monitor speakers. One of the benefits of passive volume attenuation is that you no longer have to control volumes with your softwareʼs master volume fader. Reducing levels from your software only reduces the audio bit depth. It is much more appropriate to keep your software masters at unity and attenuate the audio to your active monitors with a passive controller like the Nano Patch+. This way you can maintain maximum audio resolution and attenuate your monitoring volume with the confidence that the sonic integrity of your audio is not compromised.
No active circuitry, buffers, transistors, batteries, or power supply of any kind can interfere with the main passive output of the Nano Patch+. It simply delivers attenuated signal. Pure, simple transparent.

MyMONITOR - Personal Headphone Monitor Mixer Overview
Problem: A performer needs to hear him/herself through headphones exclusively or mixed
with the output of a mixer, CD player, tape deck, or other stereo line level source. Only the
mic signal, however, should be going to the main mixer.
Solution: Connect MyMONITOR between the mic and line source, and the mixer. The Mic
and line Monitor levels can then be adjusted for mix and volume through the headphones.
Only the mic signal will go to the board. And since MyMONITOR can be AC or battery powered,
the unit can be used on a large stage or wherever there is no AC outlet nearby. Dynamic or
condenser mics can be used since phantom power would come through the Mic Thru jack from
the mixer or other source.
MyMONITOR - Personal Headphone Monitor Mixer Specifications:
Signal To Noise Ratio 90dB
Gain 15dB (1/4 in), 50dB (XLR)
Maximum Input Level -20dB mic, 40dB Monitor
Output Impedance 10 ohms

Phantom Power ON/OFF switch
Power LED indicator
