Flexible monitoring options
With the Monicon XL, Palmer introduces a comprehensive monitor controller including a level meter and two headphone amplifiers. It has connection options for a total of three pairs of speakers. This allows monitoring via three different monitor systems, offering even greater control over your mixes. The Monicon XL also includes an analogue signal path that is characterised by its zero latency. In addition to an unbalanced line and cue output, there are three adjustable balanced monitor outputs on the back of the monitor controller, the sum of which can also be routed to other devices. On the input side, it also has two jack sockets, an RCA AUX-in, and an S/PDIF connection. The Monicon XL is thus suitable for flexible and professional monitoring of mixes.

Individual configurations
The user interface of the Monicon XL is clearly laid out: In the centre is the large volume control surrounded by two buttons that switch the mix to "mute" or "mono". Above it is the eight-increment level meter, which is designed for both channels and can be calibrated to three different values: +4, +10, or +18dBu. In the section to the left, the inputs are selected and there is also a volume control for the AUX input. On the right, the outputs are activated. If you want, you can assign the input signals to the cue output. Below this section, the Dim and Talk functions are used to set the volume. On the far left, you can change the settings for the two headphone amplifiers.

Latency-free monitoring
The Monicon XL offers a wide range of monitoring options and is aimed at all sound engineers who want to maintain full control over their mix. The fully analogue circuitry makes monitoring latency-free and prevents sound colouration - making it particularly suitable for professional applications. There is even an integrated talkback microphone with adjustable volume on board. All of the Monicon XL's outputs are in a 6.3mm jack format. The two headphone sockets also allow recording from the mixing room. In addition, the Monicon XL was modelled on the ergonomic shape of a console, which makes it particularly comfortable to operate.

About Palmer
Palmer is one of seven brands belonging to Adam Hall GmbH from Neu-Ansbach in Hessen, Germany, which was founded in 1975. Starting as a manufacturer of robust flight cases, Adam Hall GmbH has developed into a global manufacturer and distributor of event equipment. In addition to studio and PA equipment, the company also produces LED lighting systems, moving lights, cables, protective cable conduits, stands, and stage systems. The Palmer brand is known for marrying analogue circuitry with digital technology. In this way, new innovations are developed that meet the highest demands. The Palmer portfolio includes DI boxes, line isolators, speaker simulations, controllers, and studio monitors.
Mono-friendly controller
The integrated correlation meter provides information about the phase difference between the left and right channel. This makes it quick and easy to determine whether the current mix is mono-compatible. The summed mono output on the rear panel allows the connection of a subwoofer or monitor for listening in mono. The fixed, high-quality controls and connectors ensure interference-free switching of signals with a distortion factor of 0.002% at a bandwidth of 20Hz to 20kHz. The maximum input level of the Monicon XL is 20dBu, while the output impedance is 600 Ohms and the input impedance is 10 kOhms using balanced signal sources and 5 kOhms using unbalanced ones.
