Palmer Peene

Passive 2-Channel Line Splitter

Do you want to send a line signal - stereo or dual mono - to multiple devices, without interference such as hum? Then the Palmer peene line splitter box is the right tool for you. It works on a purely passive basis with large isolation transformers, which can even handle high-level signals without distortion. So, for instance, you can send the stereo output signal from the mixer to several power amps, without any ground loops. The Palmer peene also includes a ground-lift switch. In addition to the two transformer-isolated outputs, the peene also directs the input signal on directly via a link out.

The Palmer peene is everything you need to distribute line signals to several devices and is a reliable audio tool with ultra-simple handling and professional sound characteristics.
