RedNet 1 - 8-Channel AD/DA Interface

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 1 connects to your network with a single Ethernet cable. It's remotely controlled via the network and can be placed anywhere in your facility. It offers eight channels of line-level analog in and out, with Focusrite's precision 24-bit A-D and D-A conversion for superb audio performance, and 119dB dynamic range at sample rates up to 192kHz. The rear panel includes standard DB25 connectors for analog patchbay or breakout cable interfacing.

RedNet 1 can be used simply as a means of converting 8 channels of audio and delivering it somewhere else on the network at near-zero latency. If you need to connect RedNet 1 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")
