Focusrite has released the RedNet A8R, bringing eight channels of analogue I/O to its RedNet line of Dante-based audio-over-IP interfaces.
RedNet A8R is network-connected analogue input and output device using precision 24-bit, 192kHz AD/DA conversion, with network and power supply redundancy housed in a rugged 1U-high enclosure. Access to the I/O is provided via dual rear-panel DB25 connectors wired to standard AES59 specification, while two XLR connectors provide two channels of AES/EBU digital I/O. Word clock I/O connections are made via BNC sockets and include switchable termination. Dual network connections are provided on locking etherCON connectors and the dual power supplies’ IEC power sockets include cable-retaining clips.
The unit supports standard sample rates up to 192kHz at 24-bits, including pull-up/down, with sample rate, operating levels and other features configured remotely via software running on the host computer. The unit has a dynamic range of 119dB A-weighted, A/D and D/A, with a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz (±0.15dB). Front panel indicators include tri-colour LED level indication for each channel along with sample rate, clock source, PSU and network status indicators.
