INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the PALMER ABO! The ABO is a simple
passive Output switcher. This useful little tool will open a whole new
world of options when working with line or mic signals on stage or in the
studio.
APPLICATION
The Palmer PEABO is a balanced switcher with one input and two outputs.
This makes it the perfect choice for routing a signal to one of two dif-
ferent inputs.
• Onstage, switch your vocal mike between FOH and monitor mixing desk so
you can communicate with the monitor mixer or the band in private.
• Two different sound configurations. Suppose you sometimes want a dif-
ferent effect or sound on your microphone, for example, a "telephone ef-
fect" or more Hall. Run both outputs of the PEABO to two channels of the
mixing desk - now you can configure these differently and toggle between
the two channels onstage whenever you want.
• You can also use the PEABO to address two different rooms or zones se-
lectively.
Switching is controlled by a sturdy latching foot switch; the selected
output is indicated by a red LED. Slide switches make it possible to se-
lect various attenuation levels (6, 15 or 21 dB attenuation) individually
for both outputs. A ground lift helps to avoid ground loop hum.
Housed in a solid metal case with extended edges for optimum protection
of the in- and outputs. Pre-drilled holes permit simple and secure mount-
ing in a rack or on a pedal board.
The PEABO's strictly passive circuitry means that it requires no power
supply at all. A 9-volt block battery is only required to power the LED.
