APPLICATION
With the Palmer DMS (Dynamic Mic Switcher) you can switch a dynamic
microphone between two inputs.
The Palmer DMS Switcher is a passive unit and is exclusively for
dynamic microphones. The switch on the DMS is momentary.
The range of applications is vast:
• Switch your vocal mic between the FOH mixer and the monitor mixer
- this will allow you to talk exclusively to the band or the moni-
tor mixing engineer.
• Sound variation. Send the two outputs of the DMS to two channels
of the FOH mixer, adjust the channels differently (for example,
adjust the EQ to get a telephone effect). This will allow you to
switch between two microphone sounds on stage at your own leisure.
• You can use the DMS to switch the microphone between two differ-
ent rooms/zones.
Please note that the PEDMS is a passive device and is designed to
be used with dynamic microphones. It is not intended to be used
with condenser, electret or other devices requiring phantom power.

PANEL DESCRIPTION
1GROUND LIFT SWITCH
With the DMS you can interconnect two mains powered devices (for
example 2 mixers). This constellation can induce a ground loop hum.
Should this occur, use this switch to lift the ground of the second
output.
2MOMENTAR Y SWITCH
With this footswitch you can toggle between the two outputs. Note
that the switch is momentary. When not pressed, Output 1 is active.
Output 2 is activated when you press and hold the switch. On re-
leasing the switch, Output 1 is active again.
3INPUT
Connect your dynamic microphone or other balanced signal source to
this input.
4OUTPUT 1
Active when footswitch is not pressed – Connect this output to the
microphone input of a mixer or similar device.
5OUTPUT 2
Active when the footswitch is pressed and held – Connect this out-
put to the microphone input of a mixer or similar device.

ANWENDUNG
Mit dem Palmer DMS (Dynamic Mic Switcher) können Sie ein
dynamisches Mikrofon zwischen zwei Eingängen schalten.
Der Palmer DMS Umschalter ist ein passives Gerät und ist
ausschließlich für dynamische Mikrofone geeignet. Die
Umschaltung ist momentan und erfolgt über einen Taster.
Die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten sind vielseitig:
• Schalten Sie auf der Bühne Ihr Gesangsmikrofon
zwischen FOH und Monitor Mischpult um, so können Sie dem
Monitormischer oder auch der Band etwas mitteilen
• Zwei verschiedene Soundeinstellungen. Sie möchten
teilweise einen anderen Effekt oder Sound an Ihrem
Mikrofon haben, zum Beispiel ein „Telefoneffekt“ oder mehr
hall. Legen Sie beide Ausgänge des DMS auf zwei Kanäle
des Mischpultes - diese können Sie nun unterschiedlich
einstellen und nach eigenem Belieben auf der Bühne zwischen
den beiden Kanälen hin und her schalten.
• Sie können mit dem DMS wahlweise zwei unterschiedliche
Räume oder Zonen ansprechen Beachten Sie bitte dass es
sich beim DMS um einen Passiven Umschalter für Dynamische
Mikrofone handelt. Es ist nicht geeignet für den Betrieb
mit Kondensator-/Elektretmikrofonen oder anderen Geräten
die eine Phantomspeisung benötigen.

BESCHREIBUNG
1GROUND LIFT SCHALTER
Mit dem DMS können Sie zwei netzbetriebene Geräte miteinander
verbinden. In dieser Konstellation können Erdschleifen entstehen,
die sich durch ein tieffrequentes Brummen bemerkbar machen. Betäti-
gen Sie in diesem Fall den Ground Lift Schalter um die Masse
des zweiten Ausgangs zu trennen.
2SCHALTER (MOMENTAN)
Mit diesem Fußtaster können Sie zwischen den beiden Ausgängen um-
schalten. Beachten Sie bitte dass es sich hierbei um einen Taster
und nicht um einen Schalter handelt. D.h. Umgeschaltet wird nur,
solange Sie den Taster gedrückt halten. Im nichtgedrückten Zustand
ist Output 1 aktiv, im gedrückten Zustand Output 2.
3EINGANG
Schließen Sie hier ein Dynamisches Mikrofon an, bzw. ein anderes
Gerät welches einen symmetrischen Ausgang aufweist.
4AUSGANG 1
Aktiv wenn der Fußtaster nicht betätigt ist. Schließen Sie diesen
Ausgang an den Mikrofoneingang eines Mischpultes (oder ein ähnli-
ches Gerät) an.
5AUSGANG 2
Aktiv wenn der Fußtaster betätigt ist. Schließen Sie diesen Ausgang
an den Mikrofoneingang eines Mischpultes (oder ein ähnliches Gerät)
an.
