FOCUSRITE AUDIO INTERFACES - AoIP

Built on Focusrite’s decades of interface design experience and attention to audio detail, the RedNet series of audio interface has been designed for post production, broadcast audio, live sound and recording studio environments. These interfaces run with the flexibility of Dante, with some offering dual network connections and power redundancy.

RedNet MP8R Rackmount, Mic preamp

RedNet MP8R is an 8-channel remote-controlled microphone preamplifier and analogue to digital convertor with up to 192kHz.24-bit for a Dante audio-over-IP network. It has been 'specifically tailored for' live sound and broadcast environments, and includes features such as redundant network points, power redundancy, 'rugged construction' with latching connectors, remote control, and remote monitoring. A gain-compensated split output is also available on each channel.

The rear facing panel houses all I/O and power connectivity with redundant power supplies (PSU A and B) with separate input sockets allowing one supply to be connected to an uninterruptible source. The power supply's status can each be monitored remotely over the network or via the front facing panel. Dual Ethernet connectors (primary and secondary) aid network reliability with 'seamless switchover' to a standby network in the event of a network failure. The network ports may also be used to daisy-chain additional units when operating in 'Switched' mode. Eight audio inputs are provided by way of balanced and locking 3-pin XLR connectors. Rotary gain control with OLED level display for indication of gain settings is positioned on the front facing panel.

Also housed on the front facing panel, is a a 'Select' button and 6-segment level meter per channel. Individual buttons allow the selection of input impedance, 20dB Pad, +48V phantom power, a -6dB, 65Hz high-pass filter and polarity inversion. The phantom power and -20dB pad can be switched independently per channel. Channels can be remotely controlled via the RedNet Control software package, Pro Tools and MIDI, or OCA (Open Control Architecture) with future firmware updates. Other panel indication LEDs include confirmation of network status, sample rate and clock sources.

Included accessories: 2x IEC AC mains cables, 2x IEC mains cable retaining clips.
