PALMER MONICON M G2 – Passive Studio Volume Controller

The Palmer MONICON M G2 is a premium passive volume controller designed for flexible and precise monitoring control in project studios, editing suites, and multimedia workstations. Engineered in Germany, this compact unit offers seamless integration into modern setups, with professional-grade I/O options and intuitive front-panel operation.

The MONICON M accepts input from both balanced and unbalanced sources via XLR/TRS combo sockets and a 3.5 mm stereo input. Output is equally versatile, with balanced XLR connections for studio monitors and a 3.5 mm jack for auxiliary devices or desktop speakers. Its passive design ensures a clean, latency-free signal path with no coloration or distortion.

Equipped with a large analog volume knob for precise level adjustment, the controller also features dedicated MONO, DIM, and MUTE switches for instant monitoring control—ideal for referencing mixes in different configurations. With a flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a high signal-to-noise ratio, it preserves audio fidelity across a broad dynamic range.

The MONICON M G2 is built with a durable metal and plastic housing and is compact enough to fit easily into any workspace, while offering the hands-on control often lacking in digital audio interfaces.
