Full Description

Latency-free monitor controller

Control your levels in real-time. The Palmer Monicon XL Active Studio Monitor Controller bridges the gap between studio monitors and your computer. The compact and ergonomic control unit is perfect for home studios and professional studios alike. You can switch seamlessly between multiple sources and loudspeakers at the touch of a button. The fully analog circuit eliminates distortion and latency for optimised performance value.

The compact design features a streamlined layout with easy to use controls. The main volume knob is large and precise, allowing you to set the levels of your speakers with maximum accuracy. The front of the unit features two headphone outputs, complete with a volume controller and main cue selector switches. This is perfect for private monitoring, allowing you to hear your music through multiple sources, perfect for mixing and mastering applications.

Wide range of connections

The Monicon XL is jam-packed with connectivity, perfect for acting as the main hub of any studio. In addition to the three stereo inputs, the unit features an S/PDIF input and outputs for three monitor pairs. Each of the monitor connections comes complete with its own volume controller for quick level control. Also included is a mono summed full-range output, ideal for use with a subwoofer but also great for use with a mono monitor.

One of the most unique features of the controller is the correlation meter. This specialised meter displays the phase difference between a stereo signal’s left and right channels. This can be highly useful when finding the perfect level and position for your monitors. It also aids in discovering mono compatibility errors within mixes. The customisable design also caters to your personal workflow, complete with a range of buttons to help you navigate and control connections.
