FOCUSRITE / RedNet MP8R

Equipped with eight high-quality microphone preamplifiers developed by the technology backed by Focusrite's 30 years of experience, switching between two types of impedance of 10k and 2.4k ohms for each channel to support various microphones.

■ 8ch microphone preamplifier / AD converter

MP8R is recognized as a 16ch device on the Dante network. The signal input to the MP8R is split into two for each channel after A / D, one is output directly to the Dante network, and the other passes through the DSP amplifier that automatically corrects the input signal level. This function facilitates, for example, adjustment on the FOH side when sending a signal to the FOH.

■ Features

・ Redundant Ethernet connector and power socket to increase reliability and security
・ Equipped with 8 high-quality Focusrite microphone preamplifiers. Two types of impedance can be switched for each channel.
・ The input signal is divided into a direct output and a signal for automatic gain correction after A / D, which is useful for passing to FOH, etc.
・ Equipped with a pad switch that attenuates the input signal by 20db, a polarity switch that reverses the phase, and a high-pass filter.
・ The gain can be adjusted directly with the knob provided on the main unit, and remote control is also possible. RedNet Control software, MIDI and OCA (Open Control Architecture). * OCA will be supported by firmware update within 2015.
・ MP8R compatible with 24bit / 192kHz is equipped with a high-precision A / D converter, and realizes extremely low latency and the highest dynamic range in its class.
・ Equipped with a 6-segment LED meter, gain and system information is displayed on the highly visible OLED display.
・ The compact 1U MP8R is not only portable, but also fully compatible with other Dante network products.
・ Ethernet cable included
