Flexible monitoring

The Monicon L from Palmer is a monitor controller with an internal headphone amplifier. It has a completely passive circuit design that allows monitoring without sound colouration. The minimalist user interface has the advantage of enabling a fast and effective workflow. Users can choose between two sound sources in stereo, which are connected on the rear via a combined XLR/jack socket or via RCA or TRS connection. If desired, two pairs of monitors can be connected via an XLR connector. The monitor systems play back the selected mix in stereo, either individually or together, as desired. The Monicon L makes monitoring flexible, which makes it ideal for everyday professional studio use.

Pre-fader listening

The Monicon L has a centrally located 3.8cm volume control that stands out visually from the other controls and can thus be found quickly. To the left of it is a button that is responsible for selecting the signal source, while the slider controls the volume of the AUX signal. On the right, there are two switches that, when pressed, output the signal via the connected speaker systems. If both are active, the mix is played back via both pairs of speakers. A headphone jack is located on the front of the unit. Its volume can be changed via a separate control. If desired, the mix can be switched to mono or muted via buttons. The PFL button makes it possible to listen to the signal of both sources directly, thus bypassing the internal electronics of the Monicon L.

Usable without a power supply

The Monicon L is aimed at all studio operators and music producers who are looking for an easy-to-use monitor controller with flexible application possibilities. In contrast to the standard Monicon, this version is equipped with nine control elements with which helpful functions are accessed. Since all controls are clearly labelled and thoughtfully arranged, the monitor controller can be easily operated even by non-sound engineers. The four rubber feet guarantee the Monicon L a firm grip on any surface without slipping. Since the Monicon L consists mostly of passive components, it can be used without power. Exceptions to this are the internal headphone amplifier and the LEDs, which must be supplied with power via the included power supply unit in order to function.

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 signal output

The mono signal of the outgoing mix is outputted via an XLR socket on the back of the Monicon L, making its use even more flexible. The monitor controller also features a metal housing with wooden sides, making it one of the more robust hardware devices around. The permanently installed controls and connectors allow signals to be switched without interference, with a distortion factor of only 0.001%. The maximum input and output level of the Monicon L is 20dBu. The unit's output impedance is 600 Ohm, while the input impedance is 10kOhm when using balanced signal sources and 5kOhm when using unbalanced ones.
