Palmer Wupper Line Isolation Box
Introduction
The Palmer Wupper Line Isolation Box is equipped with 6.3 mm jack sockets on the input and output sides, which can be operated with both balanced and unbalanced cables. Thanks to galvanic isolation via a high-quality transformer, hum loops are reliably eliminated. This line isolation box is perfect for balancing audio signals and allows long cable runs without introducing noise or interference.

FAQs
Q: What is the purpose of the Palmer Wupper Line Isolation Box?
To stop hum, buzz, and interference brought on by ground loops, the Palmer Wupper isolates imbalanced line-level signals. It guarantees a clear connection between recording systems or mixing consoles and keyboards, instruments, or other audio equipment.
Q: Does the Wupper require external power?
It is a passive gadget, not active. It doesn’t need batteries or phantom power and isolates signals using a transformer.
Q: What is the ground lift switch for?
In order to remove hum brought on by ground loops, which are frequently present in intricate studio or live setups, the ground lift switch disconnects the signal ground between the input and output.
Q: Will the Wupper affect the sound quality?
Although passive transformers may somewhat reduce high frequencies, the Palmer Wupper is intended to preserve signal integrity. In general, it keeps your device’s natural tone.
Q: Can it handle stereo signals?
There is only one channel on the Wupper. Two units—one for each channel—are required to isolate a stereo signal. For comparison, you can also check out the Palmer PAN-04 A Active Two-Channel DI Box Instruction Manual for another professional DI box option that supports two channels.
Q: How long can I run cables through the Wupper without noise issues?
It is perfect for stage and studio setups since the balanced output permits extended wire runs (up to 100 meters or 328 feet) without adding hum or noise.
