Palmer MONICON L G2 - Active / Passive studio monitor controller
MONICON L is a versatile, compact studio monitor controller for professional project studios and ambitious home studios. It offers three inputs for different signal sources: balanced via XLR/TRS combo jack, plus AUX and Bluetooth for mobile or digital devices. Inputs and outputs can be switched on/off via dedicated buttons with LED status indication.
Two stereo outputs and an additional mono output provide flexible speaker control, e.g. for main monitors, nearfield systems or subwoofers. The large analogue volume control provides precise control of the output level.
Functions such as “Mono”, “Dim” and “Mute” support practical monitoring workflows and make it easy to perform quick adjustments in day-to-day studio use.
With its own volume control and PFL function, a separate headphone output enables isolated pre-listening to input signals without affecting the main mix.
The integrated power supply provides power for Bluetooth, the headphone amplifier and output three. The signal path itself remains entirely analogue, enabling latency-free, clean audio playback. MONICON L stands for reliable signal routing, transparent audio control and intuitive operation.
