Focusrite RedNet A16R MkII is a 16-in, 16-out analog Dante interface with switchable +18 or +24 dBu reference levels, per-channel level control and 120 dB dynamic range.
Sixteen balanced analog lines on and off a Dante network.
Overview
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.
