Key Features
The Palmer Spree Active Stereo USB-C Media DI Box is suited to performers, presenters, and engineers connecting USB-C devices live.
Designed as a purpose-built alternative to using recording interfaces on stage, it converts USB-C audio into balanced left and right XLR outputs for reliable connection to PA systems, mixers, and installed audio setups. High-resolution 32-bit/192 kHz conversion helps preserve detail, while galvanically isolated outputs reduce hum and interference in challenging environments.
A switchable Mic or Line output level makes it easy to match different audio systems, and the ground-lift switch offers an extra layer of noise control when needed. There's also a dedicated 6.3 mm headphone output for convenient monitoring. Built into a durable metal enclosure and supplied with both a USB-C cable and power adapter, the Spree is ready for regular stage, touring, and event use.

The Palmer Spree makes it straightforward to send audio from modern USB-C devices directly into professional sound systems. Whether you're playing backing tracks, running presentation audio, or streaming media from a laptop, tablet, or compatible mobile device, it converts the signal into balanced stereo XLR outputs ready for mixers and PA equipment. This dedicated design removes the need to repurpose studio interfaces for live work, giving you a practical solution that's built specifically for stage and event environments.
Unwanted noise can quickly become a problem in live audio systems. That's why the Spree features galvanically isolated XLR outputs and a transformer-based design to help minimise hum, buzz, and interference. The integrated ground-lift switch provides additional control when dealing with challenging power conditions or complex setups. Combined with balanced outputs and impedance matching for accurate signal transfer, it helps maintain a consistent sound between your source device and the audio system.
Not every venue or installation requires the same signal level. The Spree includes a switchable Mic and Line output mode, allowing you to match the requirements of a wide range of mixers, stage boxes, and installed sound systems. This flexibility reduces setup complications and helps achieve the correct signal level without additional hardware. Status LEDs for signal, synchronisation, and power also provide clear visual feedback, helping you confirm everything is operating correctly at a glance.
Constructed from aluminium and steel with a durable powder-coated finish, the Spree is designed to handle the demands of touring, events, and frequent transport. The compact enclosure fits easily into equipment cases while remaining robust enough for stage use. Flexible powering options allow operation via USB bus power or the included external power supply. When using the power adapter, USB-C power pass-through keeps connected devices powered, reducing the need for extra charging solutions during longer sessions.
Any electrical items in your order may have been designed to work with a 240V circuit, using a United Kingdom G type plug connection or a 220V circuit, using an EU plug connection. An adapter or transformer may be required for these items to work properly and safely in your country. Some items work with a range of voltages, or have a switchable voltage control built in. Please refer to the specific product details for further information.
