Franklin Audio MP-10 Mic To Instrument Preamp

The Franklin MP-10 is a compact microphone preamplifier designed to allow microphones to be used with guitar pedals and effects.
Functionality: It converts low-level microphone signals to instrument-level signals, providing proper impedance and phantom power (48V) for various microphone types (ribbon, dynamic, condenser).

Ever wanted to run a microphone through your pedals? Throw a live delay on a snare, thicken vocals with a lush chorus, or obliterate a sax with your favorite fuzz… With a super transparent, high-headroom mic preamp and phantom power on board, we’ve done all the signal conversion and gain staging for you. Just plug in your mic and discover the pedal sounds that were hiding in plain sight.
