FOCUSRITE / RedNet 2

RedNet 2 is a 16-channel input / output interface equipped with high-quality line input / output that can be remotely controlled. RedNet 2 with remote control supports sampling rates up to 192kHz and achieves a dynamic range of 119dB. The D-sub 25-pin terminal on the rear panel can be connected to an analog patch bay or connection terminal box.

■ Audio interface

RedNet 2 is a converter that can transfer 16 channels of audio with near zero latency. There are three ways to connect RedNet 2 to your computer:

・ Use with applications such as DigitalPerformer, Logic, Nuendo, etc. that use RedNet PCIe cards and ASIO compatible applications
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 a computer equipped Ethernet terminal and a general-purpose cable (and “Dante Virtual Soundcard”)
 
■ What is RedNet?

RedNet is Focusrite's brand new professional audio interface. Focusrite's hardware, which adopts the new generation transmission standard "Dante" for multi-channel audio, has free system design and high reliability, has the quality required for live PA, equipment sound and recording systems.
RedNet can handle up to 256 inputs and outputs of digital audio using common IP-based Ethernet devices. It can be used in combination with many partner companies' products that support the Dante protocol as well as stand-alone system design. This not only supports system construction in live PAs, broadcast stations, and recording studios, but also supports equipment sounds such as conference systems and building broadcast systems.
RedNet can be configured with a low-latency PCIe card or virtual sound card *, 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.
