Focusrite Rednet D16R MKII

RedNet D16R is a 1U, 16x16 AES3 interface for any Dante™ audio-over-IP network. Featuring network and power supply redundancy, RedNet D16R is the ideal choice for providing AES3 I/O in many critical-path applications, whether in Post Production, Broadcast, Live Sound or the Recording Studio. Perfect for bridging between digital consoles, power amplifiers or any other AES3-equipped audio equipment and any Dante network, RedNet D16R has SRC (Sample Rate Conversion) on each input pair allowing plug-and-play operation with any AES3 source.

Two rear-panel DB25 connectors wired to the AES59 standard provide eight pairs of AES3 I/O, while an additional pair of XLR connectors allows flexibility in cabling choice for one pair of I/O. Additional RCA connectors allow the connection of consumer S/PDIF equipment. All external audio inputs include sample rate conversion, further reducing cabling and clocking complexity. Word Clock I/O on BNC connectors allows external devices to clock to RedNet D16R, or alternatively allows RedNet D16R to act as a network clock grand master slaved to external input. Power is supplied through a pair of locking IEC power inlets, and network connections are provided with a pair of locking Neutrik etherCON connectors; providing redundant operation or daisy-chained operation.

FRONT PANEL INDICATORS:

• Primary PSU (A): Green LED. Illuminates when an AC input is applied and all DC outputs are present.

• Secondary PSU (B): Green LED. Illuminates when an AC input is applied and all DC outputs are present.

• Primary Network: Green LED. Indicates that a network connection is present on primary port when in redundant mode. When in Switched mode, a valid network connection at either Primary or Secondary network port will cause this LED to illuminate.

• Secondary Network: Green LED. Indicates that a network connection is present on secondary port when in redundant mode. Not used in switched mode.

• Network Locked: Green LED. When unit is network slave, shows valid network lock. When unit is network master, shows lock to indicated clock source. Flashing indicates external clock is selected but not connected.

• Sample Rate: Orange LED for each: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, x2, x4.

• Pull Up/Down: Orange LED. Indicates unit is set to operate on a Dante pull up/down domain.

• Clock Source: Orange LED for each: Internal, Word Clock, DARS, Input 1-2 and Input 9-10.

NETWORK MODES:

• Redundant: Allows unit to connect to two independent networks.

• Switched: Connects both ports to integrated network switch allowing daisy-chaining of devices.
