Focusrite RedNet A8R 8 Channel 24/192 Analogue Dante I/O Interface with Redundant Network & Power

Focusrite RedNet A8R 8 Channel 24/192 Analogue Dante I/O Interface with Redundant Network & Power

The Focusrite RedNet A8R is joining the company's collection of 1U Dante equipped interfaces with network & power redundancy. The unit provides 8-channels of analog input and output with excellent-quality 24-bit/192 kHz analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog audio conversion, plus 2-channels of AES/EBU digital input and output to and from the Dante network.  

The converter is featured with the  power and network redundancy, along with 2- separate universal (100~240V) PSUs, which is including the IEC connectors with retaining clips and dual network interfaces on locking etherCON connectors. You can configure these ports remotely to redundant or switched (daisy-chain) mode. 

• Eight channels of line-level analog input/output
• 24-bit Focusrite conversion up to 192 kHz
• Internally balanced throughout
• Dante-based remote-controlled audio-over-IP connectivity
• Dual power supplies and network connections with full power and network redundancy, including latching connectors for maximum reliability
• Word Clock I/O and DARS for increased flexibility, plus an additional two channels of AES/EBU input/output
• Analog input/output to AES59 standard on DB25 connectors
• Comprehensive front-panel indicators
• Software-based routing and control - no hardware patching required
