17. During transport, make certain that the equipment cannot fall down and possibly cause property
damage and personal injuries.
18. If your equipment is no longer functioning properly, if fluids or objects have gotten inside the equip-
ment or if it has been damaged in another way, switch it off immediately and unplug it from the
mains outlet (if it is a powered device). This equipment may only be repaired by authorized, qualified
personnel.
19. Clean the equipment using a dry cloth.
20. Comply with all applicable disposal laws in your country. During disposal of packaging, please sep-
arate plastic and paper/cardboard.
21. Plastic bags must be kept out of reach of children.
22. If the equipment has been exposed to strong fluctuations in temperature (for example, after trans-
port), do not switch it on immediately. Moisture and condensation could damage the equipment. Do
not switch on the equipment until it has reached room temperature.
23. Do not step on the power cord. Make certain that the power cable does not become kinked, especially
at the mains outlet and/or power adapter and the equipment connector.
24. When connecting the equipment, make certain that the power cord or power adapter is always freely
accessible. Always disconnect the equipment from the power supply if the equipment is not in use
or if you want to clean the equipment. Always unplug the power cord and power adapter from the
power outlet at the plug or adapter and not by pulling on the cord. Never touch the power cord and
power adapter with wet hands.
25. To disconnect the equipment from the power mains completely, unplug the power cord or power
adapter from the power outlet.
26. Unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet if there is a risk of a lightning strike
or before extended periods of disuse.
CAUTION:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Have repairs carried out only by qualified service personnel.
CAUTION – HIGH VOLUME LEVELS WITH AUDIO PRODUCTS!
This equipment is intended for professional use. Therefore, commercial use of this equipment is subject
to the respectively applicable national accident prevention rules and regulations. As a manufacturer, Adam
Hall is obligated to notify you formally about the existence of potential health risks. Hearing damage due to
high volume and prolonged exposure: When in use, this product is capable of producing high sound-pres-
sure levels (SPL) that can lead to irreversible hearing damage in performers, employees, and audience
members. For this reason, avoid prolonged exposure to volumes in excess of 90 dB.

APPLICATIONS
The Palmer PAN04A 2-channel DI box allows you to feed the unbalanced hi-Z signals of electric instruments
to the microphone inputs of a mixer. It delivers a transformer balanced lo-Z signal at the outputs and helps
eliminate hum and interference caused by ground loops. The active circuitry preserves frequency response
and provides increased dynamics. The unit features an additional output that merges the A and B input
signals to mono. With its tough construction, the PAN04A is equally suitable for stage and studio use.
CONNECTING THE PAN04A
Connect the outputs of your instrument(s) to the 1/4” inputs A and B using quality instrument cables, and
connect the unit’s transformer balanced XLR outputs to the inputs of a mixer using quality microphone
cables. Use the center output A/B to feed a mono sum of both inputs to a single mixer input, e.g. the L and
R channels of a stereo instrument. Use the 1/4” LINK outputs to feed the pure input signals to dedicated
instrument amplifiers or to DI loudspeaker level amp signals (see PAD SWITCHES below).
PAD SWITCHES
For most applications, select the 0 dB position. To prevent extra hot input signals from clipping the mixer
inputs, the pad switches provide 30 dB attenuation at the XLR outputs in the down position.
Alternatively, you can use the PAN04A to DI the output signal of your amp. Connect the amplifier output to
the unit’s input A or B and the corresponding LINK output to a loudspeaker or appropriate load using quality
loudspeaker cable only for both connections. To compensate for the extremely powerful loudspeaker level
signal at the amp’s output the pad switch must be in the -30 dB position. Use a quality microphone cable to
connect the channel’s XLR output to a mixer.
NOTE:
The PAN04A does not include any speaker simulation circuitry.
WARNING:
Tube amplifiers ALWAYS require an appropriate load at their outputs. When using the PAN04A
to DI your amp, make sure to connect the amp’s loudspeaker(s) or a speaker cabinet with matching
impedance to the correct LINK output to prevent serious damage to your gear. Alternatively, you can use
a load box rated at the amp’s output impedance.
GROUND LIFT
In the up position, the LIFT/GND switches break the ground connection between the unit’s inputs and
outputs. This isolates mains powered instrument(s) connected to the PAN04A, e.g. a keyboard, from the
mixing console to eliminate hum and interference caused by ground loops. Both pieces of equipment are
still individually grounded and safe to use.
POWER
The Palmer PAN04A operates on any 2.1 mm standard polarity (center negative) power adapter from
9 - 24 V DC with 100 mA minimum current rating.
