Need a little more? Are you looking for a DI box that's not just great for the stage, but that also exploits the full sound potential of your instrument in the studio? The Palmer mosel is a DI box of uncompromising premium quality with useful additional features. Its active switching guarantees a particularly high input impedance for punchy, pure sound. The unbalanced, high impedance signal from magnet and piezo pickups is changed to a low impedance, balanced output signal with no loss of brilliance - even on longer cable runs. The Palmer mosel is also suitable for synthesizers and other electronic keyboards, since it is extraordinarily stable.

The output transformer - which offers galvanic separation to eliminate ground loops - can process studio levels of up to +20 dBu. In addition, the mosel is enclosed in Mu-metal to eliminate electromagnetic interference.

The Palmer mosel offers two extra special features: a variable pad (-10/20/30 dB) and a boost function (+12 dB). These features allow you to always achieve the optimal level for noise-free recordings. The mosel is also extremely practical because the unbalanced input exists not only in jack format, but also as XLR sockets. This makes unstable adapters unnecessary. The ground lift switch - to separate from ground lifts - also has a soft lift setting. Power for the mosel can be provided either by a 48V phantom power unit or a 9V battery.

The Palmer mosel is a high-end active DI box for studio use and demanding PA work. And for times when good is just not good enough! Choose the best - choose the mosel.
