Styled in a limited edition white finish, the Palmer MONICONW is a passive monitor controller with an oversized control knob that is designed to be inserted between the stereo output of a notebook, PC, or audio interface and the inputs of a pair of active studio monitors.

The fully passive circuit design uses only a few components so as to ensure that the sound is not detrimentally affected by the monitor controller. To accommodate both professional and consumer equipment, the rear panel of the device features a pair of XLR/TRS combo connectors for the inputs, a pair of XLR connections for the monitor outputs, and a dedicated 3.5mm TRS stereo I/O path.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the output go out simultaneously on the TRS and XLR connections?

A: The question is puzzling to me because I only know of 1 stereo out. It is an XLR connection not TRS. You can use cables that connect XLR to this controller and then TRS to a monitor or other amp if you need. But there are not 2 simultaneous outs. The in is XLR as well. Additionally, I have used this device between my signal out and the monitors for about a month and I like the solid stateness and the smooth glide of the volume nob. Ability to just mute the monitors is nice too. Especially nice if those features need to be isolated from your main controlling device. Hope that helps.

Q: 2. Looking to buy JBL LRS 308 pair, and 310 sub. Will this support a sub ?

A: This controller is meant for a stereo pair and does not have a subwoofer connection. So it depends on where your subwoofer connection originates. If the subwoofer is directly connected to your stereo pair, then you're ok; otherwise, not. This is a great controller for a pair of powered monitors, and I really like the mono switch capability. The sound quality is beyond reproach.

Q: 3. The outputs... are the XLR and Stereo Mini outs active simultaneously? Can I send to 2 sets of speakers

A: Palmer recommends not using both outputs at the same time.

Q: 4. Can I just plug it in to my m audio 3 way active speakers and control the volume without a mixer?

A: You can however as it is a passive volume knob you will not have true reference grade monitoring. The shifting impedance will effect the frequency response and stereo image as you turn the volume up and down..... so for editing it is very convenient but for mix critical listening I would go with something that has an active volume control
