Franklin Audio MS-3 Studio Monitor Switcher

Sometimes simple is best

Compare your mix across three speaker sets without touching your interface or DAW. The MS-3 puts nearfields, midfields, and your artist station at your fingertips—select them individually or play multiple sets at once with the carefully selected, heavy-duty push buttons. Fully passive with zero noise or coloration, the MS-3 simply switches speakers and gets out of the way. With a compact desktop footprint and 2m DB25 breakout cable included, we've built the most transparent way to check your mix on every speaker in the room.

Find your spot

Choose a spot on your desk within easy reach. We've taken care of the cable mess with the custom DB25 loom provided—just one connection to the MS-3 keeps everything tidy.

Patch in

Take your existing monitor outputs and connect them to the input connectors on the DB25 loom, then route the A, B, and C outputs to your speakers, artist station, or wherever you need audio to go.

Never think about it again

Enjoy the feeling of having your monitors at your fingertips with no screens, menus, or software routing. Just buttons that do exactly what they should—switch speakers.

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 MS-3'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.

MULTI-FUNCTIONAL

Works as a dedicated monitor switcher or general purpose line switcher. Sub in your own DB25 loom for expanded I/O possibilities.

ERGONOMIC INTERFACE

We've painstakingly sourced the most satisfying push buttons available to make the simple task of switching monitors feel intentional and seamless.

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.

BUILT LIKE A TANK

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