Adam Hall's Palmer Expands River Series with USB-C Stereo DI BoxWith the spree, Adam Hall's Palmer is expanding its River Series to include a professional active USB-C stereo DI box that converts digital audio signals from laptops, smartphones and tablets into high-quality balanced analogue signals via USB-C. Designed for use on stage, in the studio and on the move, the spree enables the reliable and interference-free integration of modern USB-C playback devices into professional audio environments. The Palmer spree converts the audio signal from a USB-C device into two balanced XLR outputs and, thanks to galvanic isolation, effectively suppresses ground loops and noise. High-quality digital-to-analog conversion with a resolution of up to 32 bit and 192 kHz ensures precise and detailed audio reproduction, making the spree the ideal solution for both demanding live applications and studio use. The spree features a switchable mic/line output level, allowing it to be easily adapted to different mixing consoles, stage boxes or audio interfaces. A ground lift switch offers additional options for eliminating unwanted interference in complex setups. The features are complemented by a 6.3 mm headphone output, which can be used for both direct monitoring and as an additional analogue output. LEDs for SIGNAL, SYNC and POWER provide a quick status overview at all times. A particular advantage during live performances is the spree's flexible power supply. The DI box can be powered either directly via the connected USB-C device or via the supplied external mains adapter. When running on bus power alone, the spree draws its power from the connected laptop, smartphone or tablet, meaning it is ready for immediate use even in locations without an additional power supply. If, on the other hand, the external mains adapter is used, the integrated USB-C Power Pass-Through function allows the connected device to be charged simultaneously. This ensures the player remains reliably powered and ready for use, the company says, even during longer events. In addition to classic playback applications on stage, the Palmer spree is also wel-suited for content creators or home studios. Here, it functions as a compact USB-C D/A interface and, in combination with the integrated headphone output, enables straightforward, high-quality audio output -- without the need for additional drivers or complex hardware.
