Hey guys, just got the Palmer Monicon XL.

I have three issues:

1. As mentioned already, the L/R balance is tilted towards one side at the beginning of the travel of the volume knob, which is definitely a problem with +20dBu signals when you don't go up above 9 or 10 o'clock position.

2. As mentioned already, at minimum volume, there is still audible signal going into the monitors.

3. This might be an issue with my specific unit - I am curious if it is working differently on yours - the behavior of headphone outputs doesn't seem to correspond to what is specified in the manual.

The MUTE button not affect the MAIN signal on the HEADPHONES outputs. The headphone outs play the same no matter the state of the MUTE button.

Seemingly related to that is that MONO sum for headphones works only when the MUTE is NOT enabled and doesn't work when MUTE is enabled. DIM seems to work properly in both cases.

I suspect this must be some wiring issue?!

-------------------------

Palmer offering is exactly what want in terms of I/O and features, including the unique ability to play multiple inputs/outputs simultaneously. Not sure what other unit I could use, most likely Drawmer, but that 2-3x more expensive then Palmer.

I find it hard to believe professional audio companies sell and promote products where issues as stated above exist. I mean "anybody" must notice this and report this as an issue right during the first few minutes of testing the unit.
