Focusrite RedNet 2 + PCIe Native 16x16 I/O Package

The Focusrite RedNet Native 16x16 Analog I/O System is the easiest way to add world class conversion to your DAW, whether you use Cubase, Nuendo, Logic, Pro Tools software, or other DAW for Mac or PC. Comprising RedNet 2, RedNet PCIe, Sonnet Echo Express SE I Thunderbolt chassis and a preconfigured Ethernet switch, this package includes everything you need to get started. Just add computer and DAW software.

With dynamic range of 119dB and incredibly low distortion, the RedNet converters will deliver pristine results every time whether tracking or mixing. RedNet PCIe provides true analog-round-trip latency of just 2.0ms at 96kHz allowing cue-mixes to be set up in the DAW software rather than a separate cue mix application.

RedNet 2 offers 16 channels of analog inputs and 16 channels of analog ouputs on four rear-panel DB-25 connectors. The included Cat 6 cable, which carries audio, control and clocking signals, is used to connect RedNet 2 to the Ethernet switch. Front panel signal indicators provide level-checking capability of all 16 input and 16 output channels.

It’s important that you make an investment that can grow with your studio. Once connected with RedNet 2, RedNet PCIe and your computer, the Ethernet switch will have five spare ports, allowing additional I/O to be added in future. When more I/O is needed, the extra interface is simply plugged in with a single Cat 6 cable, allowing the full 128 I/O channel count of RedNet PCIe to be realised. Alternatively, add additional computers with Dante Virtual Soundcard or additional RedNet PCIe interfaces, allowing a multi-DAW studio to be created. The possibilities are endless!

Finally, the included Sonnet Echo Express SE I Thunderbolt chassis allows you to use RedNet PCIe with any Thunderbolt-equipped Mac. Just insert the card, plug-in to your computer and build your own Dante network equipped production environment.
