Palmer RIVER iller Passive Line Isolation Box with Combo Input

About: Palmer RIVER iller Passive Line Isolation Box with Combo Input

The more complex the setup, the higher the chance of ground loops. With the Palmer iller Line Isolation Box, everything is quiet again so you can enjoy your audio without humming and buzzing.

• Line isolation for guitar/bass/keyboard; also suitable for HiFis and car stereos
• Single channel: Combo input (XLR/jack) and XLR output
• Reliably eliminates ground loop hum and interfering signals
• Galvanic transformer isolation
• Can be used to balance signals
• Pure and unaltered sound
• Passive operation: simple and failure-proof
• Distortion-free up to +6 dBu
• Solid casing made of aluminium and steel
• Incl. rewritable tour label for attachment onto the back of the iller
• Engineered in Germany

The Palmer iller is an isolation transformer in a robust aluminium and steel housing. It separates the ground potentials of two devices so that equalising currents are prevented and only your sound is transmitted - clean and without interference. The only difference to its sister model wupper is that the Palmer iller is equipped with a combo socket on the input side that can accept both jack and XLR connectors. This eliminates the need for adapter cables.

The Palmer iller was developed for guitar and bass applications; however, due to its high-quality sound characteristics, it is just as suitable for keyboards and hi-fi equipment. The input (XLR/jack) can be balanced or unbalanced and the output (XLR) is balanced. This means that the Palmer iller can also be used to balance unbalanced signals, which allows longer cable runs without affecting the sound. Because of its passive design, the iller requires neither batteries nor phantom power. This makes it extremely failure-proof.

The Palmer iller is a simple, efficient hum killer: you connect it between two devices and the noise is gone. Sometimes it can be that simple!

Tough and Durable New Design

We know that the demands of stage and studio require equipment that is not only high performing, but also rugged and durable. The River Series represents a new design philosophy that combines form and function to create audio tools that are as rugged as they are stunning. These units are built to last, with rugged metal chassis and reinforced connectors. We've tested them in the harshest conditions, so you can count on the River Series to deliver, gig after gig, session after session, year after year.

Rewritable Tour Labels

In the world of professional audio, organisation is king. Misplaced or incorrectly connected equipment can turn a flawless performance into an unforgettable disaster. That's why the River Series introduces an innovative feature: rewritable tour labels. These color coded handy labels let you customize your di-boxes, line isolators splitters & mergers, ensuring each piece is in the right place, every time whether in the busy backstage area of a rock concert or the tangled web of cables in a recording studio.
