Franklin RA-10

The Franklin Audio RA-10 MKII is designed for producers and engineers who want to integrate their analog pedals and effects into a modern studio environment. It converts a line signal from an interface or console to instrument level. You can use your hardware effects as if they were an integral part of your session. Simple, passive and precise, it optimizes re-amplification without complication.

Features

Professional mono re-amplification

The RA-10 MKII transforms a line signal into an instrument signal suitable for external pedals, amps and processors. You can send a previously recorded track back to analog equipment. Ideal for reworking guitar, bass or even vocals with physical effects.

100% passive architecture

No power supply required. Fully passive circuitry guarantees simple, reliable operation. You avoid power supply problems and retain natural signal transmission.

High-quality balanced transformer

The integrated transformer ensures clean, silent conversion. You benefit from wide dynamic range and a stable, noise-free signal. Rendering remains faithful, even at high levels.

Variable impedance control

Impedance control ("Z") lets you precisely adapt the load sent to pedals or amplifiers. You influence the harmonic behavior and response of effects. A truly creative tool for shaping the sound according to the source used.

Simple integration into a DAW workflow

Connect the line output of your interface to the RA-10 MKII, then to your effects. Setup is quick and easy. An efficient solution for enhancing your digital productions with analog material.

FAQ

What is the purpose of a re-amplifier?

It's used to send a recorded line-level signal to pedals or an instrument amp, with the correct level and impedance.

Does the RA-10 MKII require a power supply?

No. Its entirely passive design requires no external power supply.

Can the impedance control influence the sound?

Yes, the "Z" setting modifies the response of pedals or amps and can influence the harmonic character of the signal.

Is it suitable for live use?

It is primarily designed for studio use, but can be used on stage if mono re-amplification is required.

Who is this product designed for?

It's ideal for producers and musicians who want to exploit their analog pedals in a digital workflow without complex solutions.
