Treat your on-stage or in-studio instrument to the Palmer PAN 02 PRO, an active DI box with an array of features. For instance, in addition to the 1/4" input, you'll also note the unbalanced XLR input. A three-way attenuator is on hand, so you can pad the signal at -10, -20 or -30 dB. Furthermore, you can add 12 dB of gain if needed.

A ground-lift switch provides an additional position that provides something between soft and hard grounding—a position which is often the most optimal when connecting the soundcard of a computer to a DI.

The output utilizes a high-quality transformer for galvanic isolation, which helps mitigate any extraneous, unmusical noise. The PAN 02 Pro can be powered either with a 9V battery, or 48V phantom power from the board.

With the additional XLR input, unbalanced XLR inputs can thus be converted into balanced outputs. If the signal is to be simultaneously connected to a different amplifier, use the "Link" jack as a parallel connector for looping the signal.

the PAN 02 can be powered by a 9V battery as well as through the existing 48V phantom power available in many mixing consoles.

Q: 1. On the Palmer PAN 02 PRO Active DI Box What would happen if you plug in a xlr balanced signal into the the input labeled xlr unbalanced?

A: You would not experience any problems if you connect a balanced signal via XLR to the unbalanced XLR input on the Palmer PAN 02 PRO Active DI Box. The input will be grounded once it is connected and there is a ground switch as well as a transformer-balanced output which helps mitigate any unwanted noise.

Q: 2. Is this Matte Box wide enough to cover a FF sensor with a 14mm FF lens? For example a Sony a7S with a Xeen 14mm, will it vignette?

A: Yes, it's wide enough. I use it with an URSA Mini 4.6k and the Xeens, including the 14mm, with no problems. The URSA Mini camera isn't full frame, but I still think you'll be fine. You'll need to make sure you have a baseplate that raises the A7s up quite a bit. The matte box is adjustable vertically, but there is a minimum height that the camera lens needs to be at

Q: 3. It works with VCT Universal Baseplate (zacuto)? Thanks.

A: Yes. I use it with Zacuto's Universal Baseplate and it works great. If you're using shorter lenses, such as CP.2s, CN-Es, Xeens or Rokinon Cine DSs, you may need to buy some shorter 3.5 15mm rods so that you can lower the bottom of the matte box below the rods. This allows you to center the matte box on the lens. I use this setup with a URSA Mini 4.6k, but if you are using a taller camera such as a RED, which has a higher lens mount, you may be OK.

Q: 4. where is the SPDIF input? useless for me, since i monitor from the digital out of my DAW... the Presonus Central Station has all the analog in and outs plus a SPIDIF/Toslink input.

A: There are NO digital connections (SPDIF):Inputs: Balanced2 x combo XLR-1/4 Aux (unbalanced):1 x TRS 3.5 mm2 x mono RCA ----------------------------------------------------------Output Connectors: 5 x XLR: (4 x balanced; 1 x unbalanced)

Q: 5. Office space has digital audio system installed like a crestron setup, with in ceiling speakers, and microphones. The setup has a USB output for audio, would this work to convert to XLR?

A: The Peavey USB-P - USB "Direct Box" for Outputting Computer Audio to PA System is designed to convert a computer's digital audio output to analog signal and is powered via its USB connection to the computer. The USB-P would not work to convert signal in a similar manner with a device that is sending signal into a computer over USB.

Q: 6. What are the max and min speeds possible with the Capsule Pro?

A: The Miops Capsule PRO Electronic Pan Head has a maximum speed of 360 degrees in 46 Seconds. There is no minimum speed for this device.

Q: 7. Is there no way to close all the way? Ie fold in the sides and fold down the eyebrow?

Q: 10. Can the dimensions of this Proaim gold head accept the BMD URSA Broadcast G2 Camera with Fujinon 8.5-170mm Digital Servo Lens?

A: The Proaim Gold Pan/Tilt Head width is 20cm (7.874 inches). The payload weight is 16lbs. The URSA Broadcast G2 is 5.9 inches wide and 9 inches tall with the handle attached. The handle can be removed to make the camera more compact when used on the head. The URSA weight is 7.83 lb. The Fujinon 8.5-170mm should be 3.26 lbs. The total payload of the camera and lens would be about 11lbs and keep you under the payload weight of 16lbs for the PTZ head.
