Focusrite RedNet A16R - Dante Networked A-D and D-A Converter
Overview
Description
The RedNet A16R from Focusrite adds to the company's range of 1U Dante-equipped interfaces with network and power supply redundancy. The unit provides sixteen channels of analogue input and output with high-quality 24-bit/192 kHz analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue audio conversion, plus two channels of AES/EBU digital input and output to and from the Dante network.
The electronically balanced analogue audio inputs and outputs are available via DB25 connectors wired to AES59 specifications, with the internal signals balanced throughout. Inputs and outputs are remotely configurable for 0dBFS= +18dBu or +24dBu signal levels. In addition, the two channels of AES digital input/output are provided on XLR connectors, with sample rate conversion on the input. The clock source for the unit can be internal, or external via Wordclock or DARS, with the unit also outputting Wordclock.
The convertor features power and network redundancy, with two separate universal (100~240V) PSUs, which include IEC connectors with retaining clips, plus dual network interfaces on locking etherCON connectors. These ports can be configured remotely to redundant or switched (daisy-chain) mode.
