RedNet A16R adds 16 remote-controlled analogue channels in and out to any

Dante audio-over-IP network. This interface includes full power supply and network

redundancy in a compact, rugged 1U enclosure that make it ideal for demanding

applications such as live, broadcast and education as well as in the recording studio

industry. Featuring Focusrite’s precision 24-bit A-D and D-A conversion, it delivers

superb audio performance with 119dB dynamic range at standard sample rates

up to 192kHz, with pull up/down.

The rear panel includes standard DB25 connectors for analogue patchbay or

breakout cable interfacing.

RedNet A16R is a 1U bi-directional Network Audio Interface providing 16 analogue

inputs and 16 analogue outputs, plus an additional two channels of AES/EBU I/O –

the XLR input socket for which may alternatively be used for DARS. Word Clock in

and out are also provided on BNC connectors.

Internally, analogue signals are converted using precision Focusrite conversion

technology to and from 24-bit digital signals. User-selectable sample rates of

44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz and 192kHz are supported for both

A-D and D-A conversion, and Jet PLL

technology is employed to minimize conversion

jitter. All analogue inputs and outputs offer a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz

±0.05dB, with a dynamic range of 119dB A-weighted.

About RedNet

Launched in 2012, Focusrite's RedNet range was one of the ﬁ rst to adopt the Dante

audio-over-IP network as the infrastructure for a new and versatile range of products.

Since then, RedNet has become increasingly popular for a diverse range of audio

applications, from theme parks to opera, from studio to major live events.

RedNet has become known for its quality and reliability – the latter a feature that is

brought even more to the fore by the inclusion of redundancy capabilities – as well as

proving exceptionally simple to operate and offering the best-sounding audio-over-IP

solution availablend full operability with other Dante devices.
