Overview

32 I/O digital interface for RedNet professional audio networking system.

RedNet is Focusrite's new flagship range of Ethernet-networked studio interfaces, based around the tried and tested Dante Ethernet audio networking system from Australian company Audinate. Focusrite's RedNet is the first to offer IP network audio interfaces for the recording studio - or any application that requires moving high quality audio around with ultra-low latency.

RedNet 3 interfaces your existing digital audio systems and components to the RedNet network, with up to 32 inputs and outputs and full software remote control. The unit includes support for AES/EBU, S/PDIF and ADAT (16 ADAT optical ports support 32 digital channels in and out - even at 96kHz, with S-MUX2) digital audio formats and allows the RedNet system to be synchronised to incoming signal clock or a word clock source.

RedNet 3 can be used simply as a means of converting 32 channels of audio and delivering it somewhere else on the network at near-zero latency. If you need to connect RedNet 3 to your computer there are three methods:

¢ The RedNet PCIe card for Core Audio and ASIO applications such as Logic and Nuendo
¢ RedNet 5 for Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools HDX and Pro Tools HD Native via DigiLink connectors
¢ Directly to your computer's Ethernet port using a standard Ethernet cable (with "Dante Virtual Soundcard")

Features

  • Up to 32 channels of I/O
  • Full software remote control
  • Support for AES/EBU, S/PDIF and ADAT
  • Focusrite offers a 2-year manufacturer's warranty
