FOCUSRITE / RedNet A8R

RedNet A8Rは、Danteネットワークに対応した、冗長電源搭載の8チャンネルAD/DAコンバーター。119dBものダイナミックレンジを備え、2チャンネルのAES/EBUデジタル入出力を装備。

■ AD / DA converter

RedNet A8R is Focusrite's 1U rack Dante compatible interface. Equipped with network function and redundant power supply, it has 8 channels of analog input / output. RedNet A8R provides up to 192kHz / 24-bit AD / DA conversion with 119dB dynamic range, and supports input / output from Dante network along with 2 channels of AES / EBU digital I / O.

RedNet A8R can select 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192kHz / 24-bit sample rate conversion with remote control, including pull-up / pull-down function. AES59-specific DB25 connector provides balanced analog input and output. The input / output reference level can be remotely selected as 0dBFS = + 18dBu or + 24dBu. It also has a 2-channel AES / EBU input / output with XLR connection, and supports sample rate conversion at the input stage. The clock source supports internal clock, external word clock, DARS (XLR input), and can output word clock.

Redundancy of network and power supply is another feature of RedNet A8R. It has two independent universal PSUs (100-240V) with IEC connectors with clips and two locking etherCON network interfaces. These port settings can be switched remotely to Redundant or Switched (daisy chain).
