Palmer Grand Audition MKII

When tasting wine or comparing loudspeakers, neutrality is key. The GrandAudition MKII facilitates this by allowing the connection of 16 individual loudspeakers or eight pairs, plus eight subwoofers, all managed through balanced XLR connectors in a compact 19" rack.

Its intuitive browser-based app enables users to switch between outputs or configure combinations easily, making it ideal for presentations, trade shows, and multi-room audio distribution. The system also features two balanced XLR inputs for source material and a built-in USB media player supporting various formats.

The remote control offers convenience via tablets or laptops, allowing for complete configuration, including channel naming and media management. Each output level can be adjusted individually, enabling precise loudspeaker comparisons for customers.

Additionally, the GrandAudition MKII can be cascaded for expanded routing and supports both powered and passive loudspeakers. Its versatility makes it invaluable for conference technology, trade fairs, and measuring laboratories, all while ensuring professional sound quality.
