Focusrite REDNET 2

• 

 

RedNet 1 (eight channels) and RedNet 2 (16 channels) offer the standard method for getting analogue audio into and out of your RedNet system.

RedNet 2 connects to your network with a single Ethernet cable, is remotely controlled via the network and can be placed anywhere in your facility. It features Focusrites precision 24-bit AD and DA conversion for superb audio performance, with 120dB dynamic range at sample rates up to 192kHz. The rear panel includes standard DB25 connectors for analogue patchbay or breakout cable interfacing. The front panel displays sample rate, operating level and signal level indicators. Multiple units can be connected to the system, which supports up to 128 channels input and output at up to 96kHz sampling, and 64 channels at 192kHz.

Audinates Dante^TM technology provides the perfect infrastructure for RedNet, providing a robust and reliable network architecture with easily-sourced, standard components, most of which will already be familiar to audio engineering professionals. It delivers a guaranteed 128 input and 128 output channel architecture at 44.1, 48 and 96kHz or 64 I/O at 192kHz. Using an optional PCIe card, extremely low latency can be achieved, under three milliseconds at any sample rate. Interfaces can be remotely controlled from the host computer, and added or relocated easily. Dante allows interfaces to be located a significant distance away from the host computer, and thus placed in locations determined by requirement and not by technical limitation. A single audio network can span the largest facility and in many cases the physical networking infrastructure will already be in place.

Dante also allows system components to be controlled remotely via a software application on the host computer or even via external hardware control surfaces. Interfaces can be installed anywhere on the network and hot-swapped: RedNet automatically recognises and configures them as soon as they appear.

RedNet interfaces can operate alongside any supported PC or Mac with an Ethernet port (including laptops), using Audinates Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) driver, meaning portable RedNet rigs can be configured. However, Focusrites RedNet PCIe card, which features its own, single Ethernet socket, is dedicated to communicating with the RedNet network. The technology on this card yields the extremely low latencies and high track count that makes RedNet the ultimate studio upgrade.
