Palmer RIVER ilm Passive speaker simulation DI box

RIVER ilm Passive speaker simulation DI boxItem No.: PILM
Series: River

You’ve found your perfect amp sound, but somehow it sounds different on every stage?
The Palmer ilm speaker simulation DI box removes all the uncertainties of amp micing such as microphone choice, acoustic environment and positioning. With a sophisticated filter switch simulating the sound behaviour of a real guitar speaker, it captures your authentic sound, even without a microphone. Its direct signal always sounds the same, whether at home, in the (home) studio, during rehearsals, or on stage, whatever the room size.
The Palmer ilm offers three analog guitar speaker simulation settings, which represent typical guitar speaker models. We’ll leave the flowery names to the others; on the Palmer ilm , they are called “normal”, “mellow” and “bright”.
Generally, the Palmer ilm is looped in between the guitar amp output and guitar speaker; but it can also be operated on the amplifier’s line out. For input-level adjustment, the ilm has a pad switch with three settings: 0, -15 and -30 dB.
The output of the Palmer ilm is balanced and transformer isolated which means there is no interference or ground loop hum when connecting it to a mixing console or audio interface. With the Palmer ilm, you can always rely on what really matters: Your music, your instrument and your sound.
 

Balancing and impedance matching for guitar/bass/keyboards/synthesisers
Eliminates ground loop hum through galvanic transformer isolation
Neutral sound thanks to active input stages with high impedance
Low noise floor
THRU connection for passing the input signal to the amplifier
Handles even high-level inputs without distortion
Switchable 30 dB pad for extremely high input levels (e.g. amplifier output)
Power supply via 9V battery or 48V phantom power unit
Road-ready aluminium and steel casing
Incl. rewritable tour label for attachment on to the back of the havel
Engineered in Germany
