Developed for professional applications on stage or in the recording studio, the Palmer elde is a DI box used to pick up the raw signal from a guitar, bass, or keyboard without noise and tonal loss, even over long cable runs. Featuring a dual-channel design, elde can be used either for one stereo instrument or for two different mono instruments. The box's failure-proof, passive circuitry requires no battery.

The 1/4" inputs are each looped to a Thru Out, allowing the signal to be passed on to the guitar/bass amplifier. For those high-level signals, each channel features a pad switch (-30 dB), enabling you to insert the elde between the amplifier output and the loudspeaker without overloading it. The elde outputs low-impedance, balanced signals that can withstand even longer cable runs without damage. Impedance conversion and balancing is done passively via a transformer, which also provides galvanic isolation for less noise. Each channel has its own ground-lift switch to eliminate ground-loop hums. Elde is virtually indestructible thanks to its rugged, aluminum-and-steel casing.

Q: 1. Can I send phantom power in it to power and another device as a pedal that need it ?

A: No, the A-Designs REDDI Mono All-Tube Direct Box with Throughput does not let Phantom Power pass through the device.

Q: 2. Will this work with Deity D3 Mic?

A: I'm trying to connect the Deity D3 Mic to the SR-AX100 to the Canon 80D. But doesn't work. What am I doing wrong.

Q: 3. How would this work with the Comica Audio BoomX-D D2 being that it seperates the audio to left and right anyway?

A: If you wanted separate level control over the left and right out of the Boom XD, you would set the receiver to stereo out and plug it into the stereo input of this mixer. Then you could use the separate volume controls to adjust each level individually.

Q: 4. What is the sampling rate and bit depth of the DA audio conversion?

A: The Kopul PSI-USB USB to Audio Direct Box for Digital Audio to PA Systems & Mixers has a sample rate of 48 kHz and a bit depth of 16-bit. The frequency range is 20 Hz to 20 kHz and the dynamic range is 92 dB.

Q: 5. Will it convert RCA input signal of an active subwoofer to balanced xlr inputs?

A: If you are referring to the line level pass-thru on a powered sub, or RCA line outs from a receiver or pre-amp to XLR ins on a sub, then yes. You do not want to run a powered signal through this device, just line-level.

Q: 6. Does this come with a stereo mini cable?

A: The Saramonic SR-AX101 does include a stereo mini cable.

Q: 7. How is the stereo image on this device? Is it an accurate representation at lower levels?

A: Being a passive device, the output is uncolored and offers solid results even at attenuated levels.

Q: 8. headphones?

A: This unit is not designed to be used with headphones.

Q: 9. Does this also take the place of adapter for lastolite softboxes?

A: No, it does not. It is made to connect accessories such as the Lastolite Snoot.

Q: 10. Can I connect 3 mono inputs to mix them to the output?

A: No, this adapter can handle either two mono mics, or one stereo mic.
