| 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.

MoCo is a fully passive monitor controller that helps you to provide perfect control over the playback volume of your studio monitors.
\"Fully passive\" means that there are no active components involved, that could in any way alter the audio signal - keeping the maximum sound quality level for your studio monitors. MoCo provides two separate stereo inputs (one with balanced 1/4\" TRS connectors, one with both unbalanced RCA and unbalanced 1/8\" TRS connectors) and two separate stereo outputs (one with balanced XLR connectors, one with balanced / unbalanced 1/4\" TRS plus unbalanced 1/8\" TRS connectors). MoCo does not change your signals from unbalanced to balanced: what goes in, goes out!
Via one switch you can select the input signal and with separate buttons, each output can be enabled. Also there is a switch that changes the monitor signal to mono and you can mute the playback audio signal quickly at the touch of a button. A quick swap of the left and right audio signal channels is also possible. And of course, the stylish big knob in the center of MoCo controls the actual playback volume.
Features
- 2x mono balanced 1/4\" TRS input (input A)
- 2x mono unbalanced RCA input (input B)
- 1x stereo unbalanced 1/8\" mini jack input (input B)
- 2x mono balanced XLR output (output A)
- 2x mono balanced / unbalanced 1/4\" TRS output (output B)
- 1x stereo unbalanced 1/8\" mini jack output (output B)

- A/B input selection switch
