FocusRite RedNet 2 Bidirectional Analogue Interface
RedNet 2 is a multichannel, bidirectional analogue interface for use with a RedNet digital audio networking system.
RedNet is a powerful, low latency, digital audio networking system designed specifically for music, recording studio and broadcast applications. It is based on Audinate’s Dante™, a well-established audio networking technology known for its extreme robustness. Dante – and the RedNet system – is capable of transporting up to 512 channels of bidirectional audio (at 48 kHz sample rate) over a single Gigabit Ethernet link. The number of channels available in your DAW will depend on the host method being used.
RedNet 2 provides sixteen analogue inputs and sixteen analogue outputs. A-D and D-A conversion is 24-bit at sample rates of up to 192 kHz, and up to 119 dB of dynamic range is achievable. JetPLL™ technology is employed to minimise conversion jitter.
The analogue inputs and outputs are electronically balanced on 25-pin Dsub connectors. The unit can be configured with 0 dBFS equating to either +18 dBu or + 24 dBu to conform to the EBU or
SMPTE-RP155 standards respectively.
The front panel contains a set of LEDs confirming network status, sample rate, reference level and per-channel signal level.
