We are proud to now carry Franklin Audio products, a small, independent manufacturer based in Australia. Franklin Audio is known for its user-centred design approach, creating studio tools with intuitive controls and straightforward interfaces that support efficient workflows. Their products are tested with both professional studios and home users to ensure they integrate naturally into a wide range of setups, keeping the focus on making music rather than managing complicated routing.
Franklin Audio has developed a strong reputation for creating straightforward, high-quality audio equipment that fits seamlessly into modern Pro Audio workflows. Their catalog includes pre-amps, DIs and switching systems used in recording studios, post-production facilities, and home studios alike.
Sustainability is also central to the company’s philosophy. Franklin Audio prioritizes responsible manufacturing practices, reducing environmental impact wherever possible. Their products minimize plastic components in favour of recyclable metal construction, and they use plastic-free, home-compostable packaging.
Equally important is their commitment to right to repair. Franklin Audio designs products to be serviceable and built for long-term use, with accessible components and construction methods that allow repairs to be carried out by local technicians or technically inclined users. This repair-friendly approach supports product longevity and reduces unnecessary waste.
Two of their most recognized products are the SS6-MKII and the RA-20.
The Franklin Audio SS-6 MKII is a passive 6-input stereo switcher and DI designed to simplify studio routing . It allows connection of up to six stereo or twelve mono TS sources, selectable via a single rotary input selector. The selected input passes through a transformer-balanced DI circuit before reaching the outputs. The SS-6 can be used to route multiple instruments such as synths, drum machines, samplers, guitars, or pedals to a single DI path or mixer channel without repatching.
The Franklin Audio RA-20 is a passive stereo re-amplifier designed to convert balanced, line-level signals from your audio interface or DAW into unbalanced, instrument-level signals suitable for guitar amps, pedals, and other high-impedance gear. The unit operates with a fully passive, transformer-balanced design and requires no external power. It supports several routing configurations, including Dual Mono, Mono to Dual Mono, True Stereo, and Mono to Stereo modes, allowing it to adapt to a range of studio tasks such as dual amp re-amping or stereo pedal processing.
By adding Franklin Audio Products to our lineup, we continue expanding our selection of professional audio equipment tailored to recording studios, post-production facilities, and home studio setups. Clients looking for pre-amps, DIs and switching systems solutions can now find Franklin Audio at Studio Economik.
