FOCUSRITE / RedNet 2

RedNet 2 is a 16-channel input/output interface with remotely controllable high-quality line inputs and outputs. Compatible with remote control, RedNet 2 supports sampling rates up to 192kHz and achieves a dynamic range of 119dB. A D-sub 25-pin connector on the rear panel allows connection to an analog patch bay or connection terminal box. Comes with a reassuring 3-year Sound House warranty!

■Audio Interface

RedNet 2 is a converter that enables near-zero latency transmission of 16 channels of audio. There are three ways to connect RedNet 2 to your computer:

- Use with Core Audio and ASIO-compatible applications such as Digital Performer, Logic, and Nuendo using the RedNet PCIe card.

- Use with Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools HDX, and Pro Tools HD Native using the RedNet 5 DigiLink connector.

- Use with Core Audio and ASIO-compatible applications using the computer's Ethernet connector and standard cables (and the Dante Virtual Soundcard).

■What is RedNet?

RedNet is Focusrite's all-new professional audio interface. Using the Dante standard, a new generation of multi-channel audio transmission, Focusrite's hardware offers flexible system design and high reliability, delivering the quality required for live PA, installation sound, and recording systems. RedNet can handle up to 256 inputs and outputs of digital audio using standard IP-based Ethernet devices. It can be used in standalone system designs or in combination with Dante protocol-compatible products from many partner companies. This makes it suitable for live PA systems, broadcast stations, and recording studios, as well as for installation audio systems such as conference systems and in-building public address systems.
RedNet can be built using low-latency PCIe cards or virtual sound cards*, and can also be connected to ProTools HD/HDX/HD Native systems and MADI systems.

*Latency depends on your system environment and sampling rate settings.
