Focusrite RedNet AM2 is a compact Dante headphone amplifier and stereo line output, with a 1/4-inch headphone output, two XLR line outputs and power over Ethernet or 12 V DC.
A headphone and monitor feed from anywhere on a Dante network.
Overview
Stereo Dante headphone amplifier and line output interface with PoE RedNet AM2 is a compact Dante-compatible stereo monitoring unit combining headphone and balanced line outputs for monitoring of signals from the Dante network wherever required. RedNet AM2 features a ¼” front-panel TRS headphone socket plus a pair of rear-mounted balanced line outputs with male XLR connectors for loudspeaker monitoring and other applications.
RedNet AM2 can be powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or via an external DC power supply (included). RedNet AM2 is ideal for adding headphone outputs to a studio-based system as well as offering a solution for education, live sound and broadcast. High power headphone amp Designed to drive a wide range of headphones, the headphone amplifier will drive high impedance (up to 600 ohms) headphones at substantial levels, making the unit suitable for use on-stage as well as front-of-house or in a studio environment.
The XLR line-level outputs have software-switchable 0dBFS reference levels of +18 or +24dBu. Superb-quality D/A conversion RedNet AM2 includes a 2-channel Dante receiver based around Audinate’s ‘Ultimo’ hardware and incorporates high-quality digital to analogue conversion at standard sample rates from 44.1 to 96kHz for stereo network audio monitoring via the line level outputs, for use with loudspeakers for example, or headphones, both outputs offering better than 118dB dynamic range).
The unit may be clocked either internally or via the Dante Network Master. Two large volume control knobs are provided for Headphone and Line output levels, the latter featuring a mute button with associated LED. Other indicators show the presence of power, network and signal. The signal indicator shows red for 0dBFS, orange at -6dBFS and green at -42dBFS on either channel, while the network indicator illuminates when a valid network connection is present on either Port 1 or 2.
