Franklin Audio DI-10 Passive Direct Box

Maker: Franklin Audio

Model: DI-10 Passive Direct Box

Condition: Brand New

Description: 

Low profile, high headroom

No hum, no headache, no tone shift—just a bulletproof DI that gets out of the way. We made the DI-10 to our dream specs: custom-wound transformer for full-band frequency response and perfect isolation, high input impedance that feels natural to play through, and a low-profile enclosure that fits anywhere without demanding attention. The result is a DI that takes guitar, bass, and keys straight into mic preamps with zero noise and zero colouration—simple, reliable, and built to outlast everything else on your desk.

Plug in

Connect your guitar, bass, synth or drum machine to the DI-10 input using a standard instrument cable. The high input impedance input preserves your tone and playing feel.

Send it

Run a balanced XLR cable from the DI-10 output to your mic preamp or interface. The custom transformer converts your signal cleanly with zero added noise or tone shift.

Get playing

That's it. The DI-10 gets out of the way and lets your instrument sound like itself—just cleaner, quieter, and ready for any preamp or processing you throw at it.

Designed to disappear

We believe great gear should be easy to use—no technical barriers, no learning curve, just music-making. We've thought deeply about every aspect of the DI-10's design so that you can focus on creating, no matter your experience level.

USER-FRIENDLY DESIGN

Simple controls and clear indicators means less time learning and more time creating.

DESKTOP-FRIENDLY

We've packed the design into a compact form designed specifically to sit on your desk, your side table or even the top of your keyboard.

100% ANALOGUE

We make our gear using analogue circuitry with zero digital components—built for reliability, longevity, and easy repair if you ever need it.

NO POWER NEEDED

The DI-10 has a fully passive design, so you don't have to worry about freeing up an outlet.

BUILT LIKE A TANK

...with heavy duty 1.5mm folded steel enclosure. Your studio deserves gear that won't let you down.
