The Franken FiSO2 is designed to provide electrical isolation between two line-level equipments, e.g. between two mixing consoles, between a guitar multi effect and mixing console, etc. Franken FiSO2 uses two unique high-quality transformers to prevent any voltage spikes that can interfere with the audio circuitry and damage your equipment, and also avoid hissing, humming and buzzing noises from ground loop problems with the ground lift switch
