Franklin RA-20

The Franklin Audio RA-20 is a professional passive stereo re-amplification solution designed to easily integrate external effects, pedals, and amplifiers into your audio chain. It allows you to send a line-level signal down to instrument levels and use it with analog gear such as effects pedals, amplifiers, or other processors, while maintaining high sound quality and dynamic range. The RA-20 stands out for its flexibility, with multiple routing modes to adapt its operation to your needs: true stereo, dual mono, mono to dual mono, or mono to stereo.

Its 100% passive architecture with balanced transformers provides clean, noise-free transmission without the need for an external power supply, making it easy to integrate into any studio or stage environment. The unit is built in a rugged, folded steel chassis and features independent controls per channel to optimize level and impedance for your effects chain.

Key Features

Versatile Use:

Stereo or dual mono re-amplification of signals from a digital audio workstation (DAW), mixing console, or other device.

Sending stereo tracks to pedals, external effects, or amplifiers, and capturing the processed audio.

Enables the use of external effects chains to enhance your mixes or live sound.

Routing Modes:

Dual Mono: Two independent channels, equivalent to two mono re-amp units.

Mono > Dual Mono: One mono signal sent to two outputs with independent controls.

True Stereo: Maintains the stereo image with linked controls for synchronized adjustments.

Mono > Stereo: One mono signal split into stereo with linked controls.

Premium Passive Design:

All-analog circuitry with no digital components for increased reliability and longevity.

Custom balanced transformers for ample headroom and optimal audio quality.

No external power supply is needed thanks to the passive design.
