Palmer PAN 16 8-Channel Passive 19" Rack Mount DI Box
PAL-PAN16
$599.00
The Palmer PAN 16 is a passive 8‑channel DI box designed for large stage setups, installations and multi‑instrument rigs. Thanks to its MERGE LINK/IN function, each channel’s LINK output can act as a second input, allowing two signals to be mono‑summed into one output. This enables up to 16 inputs to be routed through the PAN 16’s 8 transformer‑balanced DI channels.
Each channel includes flexible PAD attenuation (–10 dB, –20 dB, –30 dB), transformer‑isolated XLR outputs, and dual THRU outputs. Eight additional LINK sockets are located on the rear panel. Built in a rugged 19″ 1U steel chassis, the PAN 16 is ideal for demanding touring and studio environments.
