Elegant monitor control
I bought this as I have 2 pairs of monitors and headphones and wanted to easily and conveniently switch between them during mixing.
The Palmer Monicon helps you switch between various monitoring systems such as various speakers or headphones during mixing or your home theatre. It also has a mono button to easily collapse your mix to mono - so no more mono plugin buttons on that master bus!
But the biggest asset of this device is that the controls are sturdy so it helps builds a more disciplined & frame of reference of what levels you regularly monitor at. No more forgetting what volume you were at on that old flimsy volume knob!
The combination of this monitoring device and my small mixer has helped bring my modest small home studio up several notches to a more professional look and feel!

Great
Great except:
The big knob is very smooth and it can be difficult to notice if you're actually turning ot or if your fingers just slide along the sides of it.
The aux channel does not go through the main volume knob. I would probably prefer it if it did.

Featured packed unit in a tiny housing!
Love at first sight, great for the enthusiast/mini-home studio setup!
I use it to switch between my CD Player and 3.5mm inputs onto my Yamaha HS8 monitors. The PFL headphone output is also a great feature which let's you switch flawlessly between both inputs regardless of what's being sent to the XLR outputs (they can be muted for all we care). The Stereo and Aux inputs have separate level control which is great if you want to match the level of the two for A/B comparisons.
The mono sum output is great but only works with output 2 which is kind of a downside if you have a sub that you want to run separately with both outputs.
Other than that, great quality build, the knobs and buttons feel solid and splendid audio quality!
Good Job Palmer!

Palmer speaker controller
This is a well made, great sounding passive monitor controller for speakers.
My only issue is that the headphone amp cannot take +4dbu professional monitoring levels without distorting. The speaker ins and outs are really good. It gives a clear uncoloured sound from your DAW to your Speakers,

Fantastic controller
Great unit - nice to have 2 outputs and the aux in which is very useful. Very solid, durable build and looks great. Passive, so little/no colouration of sound - none that I could hear anyway. Only reason I gave the quality 4 stars instead of 5 was because some of the knobs and buttons have different resistances and the buttons sometimes fall out the pots if you catch them too hard - very minor detail though. Would definitely buy again.
