Palmer spree: from USB-C straight to your mixing console

Palmer can also use the River Series to activate the stereo USB-C media DI-box for digital audio on laptops, smartphones and tablets. It is said to be a perfect choice in real life: it provides playback, backing tracks in media-content with USB-C devices, professional audio equipment that does not have high performance when balanced analog verbinding.

Anyone who has ever connected a laptop or smartphone to a PA system via a mini-jack cable and two passive DI boxes knows the pitfalls: hum, noise, level fluctuations, and adapters that fail at the wrong moment. The Palmer Spree solves this with a single compact device. The digital audio signal enters via USB-C and leaves the DI box as two balanced XLR outputs, ready for the mixing console, stagebox, or PA system.

A particularly strong point for live use is the flexible power supply. The Spree can be powered directly via the connected USB-C device (bus power), making it ready for immediate use even without a power outlet. If the included external power adapter is used, the integrated USB-C Power Pass-Through ensures that the connected device is charged simultaneously. This keeps your laptop, smartphone, or tablet reliably powered, even during extended events.
