Focusrite announce RedNet

RedNet is a powerful digital audio system that will change the way you build and operate a studio forever.
At its heart is the robust, tried-and-tested digital audio networking technology Dante™, by Australian company Audinate. Dante uses standard IP-based networking and components, such as Ethernet cables, routers and switches, to carry up to 256 channels (128 in and 128 out) of high-resolution digital audio over a standard Ethernet network. Dante has been in use for some time in the live sound field where it’s fast becoming a standard, endorsed by pro-audio companies such as Yamaha, and by sound reinforcement companies, including Britannia Row, who rely on it for major live events on a regular basis. Before deployment in live sound environments, Dante systems are routinely tested for up to a week without the loss of a single sample.

Now Focusrite brings Dante technology into the studio as part of a complete system. RedNet comprises a range of extremely high quality digital audio interfaces and components that do a great deal more than simply allow you to connect your digital studio through an Ethernet network: they will revolutionise the way you work in other ways too. Also, unlike other digital audio systems, it is non-proprietary, meaning it will work with any ASIO or Core Audio compliant DAW software, including ProTools 9, Logic and Nuendo.
