Personal Volume Control for Headphones    Passive Design Requires No Power Source    Locking XLR Input    3.5mm Stereo Headphone Output    Convenient Belt Clip    Compact and Lightweight    Durable Metal Chassis

The PM1 features an extremely high-quality volume control for dialing in the perfect level every time. Designed for long life and super-smooth performance, this detented control stays where you put it.

Because your monitor is crucial to your performance, the PM1's XLR input connector accepts standard mic cables and features a locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnects. Just press the tab next to the bottom-mounted connector to release the cable at the end of the gig. It is important to note that PM1's XLR input is not designed to accept balanced line signals taken directly from your mixer, as an amplified source is required. For connecting a stereo source, such as your headphone amplifier or mixer's headphone output, you should use a TRS-to-XLR (male to male) cable.

You can use your favorite headphones, earbuds, or custom-molded professional in-ear monitors (IEMs) with the PM1, thanks to the top-mounted, standard 3.5mm stereo output jack.

Built-like-a-tank, and featuring an impact-resistant metal chassis, the PM1 was made for the road and will give you many years of dependable, highest-quality performance. When you do need to move around, say to change your amp or stomp settings, PM1's built-in belt clip will always keep it close at hand. Just slip the PM1 onto your waistband or belt and let the good times roll.

Q: 4. I bought this a year or so ago and have been using it to use to boost the monitor level for my somewhat high-impedence headphones. I just tried the mic port for the first time. I am finding that the mic input leaks into the monitor channel even with the mic volume at zero. Raising the mic volume does raise the mic input, but also adds quite a bit of noise. And when the monitor volume is at zero, the mic channel does not sound even with the level set up high. I expected the two inputs to be independently controllable. Is there a way to accomplish this?

A: Hello. Thank you for your description of usage. This device is designed to where the Monitor level control is a master control over the overall mix output of the mic input and monitor input. The two input channels can not be separated. If needed to balance the levels of the mic and playback in your headphones, you'd have to balance the mic gain on the Polsen, and the headphone out of the Steinberg individually. As for the metronome bleed through the mix when the gain is down, the headphone out level of the metronome is a much hotter signal than the expected mic level intended for the mic input. Due to this, it is possible that the level would pass through while the gain is turned down. I would recommend revisiting the metronome built into your recording software. This can be used while recording and not actually be on your recorded tracks. By going this route, all you would need the Polsen for is to boost the level of the headphones.
