Focusrite RedNet 1 is a modular audio interface system with an Ethernet connection and the option of a PCIe connection. It uses a protocol designed and patented by Focusrite called Dante, capable of recording and playing back with zero latency. It connects with a single Ethernet cable and is controlled remotely through its own network. It offers eight analog input and output channels with line impedance. The resolution is 24 bits and it works with sampling rates of up to 192kHz. It works with a dynamic range of 119dB. The rear panel includes standard DB25 connectors for the distribution of the analog signal. RedNet 1 can be used simply as an 8-channel audio converter.
The connection with a PC or Mac can be through a RedNet PCIe card for Core Audio and ASIO applications such as Logic and Nuendo, RedNet 5 for Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools HDX and Pro Tools HD Native via DigiLink connectors or directly to the Ethernet port of your computer via a standard Ethernet cable (with "Dante Virtual Soundcard")
