Description

RedNet A16R MkII is a 16-channel analogue Interface for Dante networks, with two channels of AES3 I/O. Individual input and output channel level controls allow for precise adjustment of all I/O levels using RedNet Control. With two power supplies and primary and secondary etherCON network connectors, RedNet A16R MkII is perfect for critical-path applications in recording, post-production, live sound and broadcast. Built-in redundancy features allow for silent fail-over in the event of power or network outage, providing reassurance for system technicians.

Analogue inputs and outputs are connected through four rear-panel AES59-configured DB25 connectors, while an additional pair of AES3 I/O is provided through male and female XLR for added flexibility. The XLR input can accept DARS signals in addition to AES3. Word Clock I/O on BNC connectors allows external devices to clock to RedNet A16R MkII, or alternatively allows RedNet A16R MkII to act as a network clock grand master, synchronised to external input. RedNet A16R MkII is well suited to permanent installation and repeated strike and setup: all connectors lock and remain terminated even under stress, providing worry-free installation and peace of mind once situated in a rack. In addition, all Focusrite Pro products come with a three-year warranty and award-winning customer support.

Features

• 16-channel bi-directional analogue interface for Dante networks, with additional two-channel AES3 I/O.

• Precision A-D and D-A conversion with 119dB dynamic range, flat from 20Hz - 20 kHz (+/- 0.15dB).

• Individual input/output channel level control using RedNet Control software.

• Dual PSUs with locking IEC inlets.

• Dual locking etherCON connectors for Primary and Secondary network connections.

• Power supply and ethernet redundancy with auto switchover in case of failure.

• Front-panel LED indicators for PSU, network, sample rate, signal present and clock source status.

• Sample rate conversion on the AES3 inputs allows external equipment to run at any sample rate.

• Analogue I/O on four AES59 standard DB25 connectors.

• Digital I/O on a pair of XLR connectors (AES3).

• Rear panel XLR connector can either be used as a DARS input or as a traditional AES3 audio input.

• BNC connectors for Word Clock input and output.

• Compact 1U chassis allows maximum functionality in minimum rack space.

• AES67 and AES70 compliant.

• SMPTE ST 2110 compliant when used with Dante Domain Manager (sold separately).

• Full operability with Focusrite RedNet and Red interfaces, plus all Dante devices from hundreds of manufacturers.

• Remote control with RedNet Control, and route via Dante Control.
