RedNet D16R is a 1U, 16x16 AES3 interface for any Dante™ audio-over-IP network. With network and power supply redundancy, the RedNet D16R is the ideal choice for providing AES3 I/O in many mission-critical applications, whether in post-production, broadcasting, live sound, or the recording studio. Perfect for connecting digital consoles, power amplifiers, or any other audio equipment equipped with AES3 to any Dante network, the RedNet D16R features SRC (Sample Rate Conversion) on every input pair, enabling plug-and-play operation with any AES3 source. Two DB25 connectors on the rear panel, connected to the AES59 standard, provide eight pairs of AES3 I/O, while an additional pair of XLR connectors allows flexibility in cabling choices for one I/O pair.

The additional RCA connectors allow the connection of consumer S/PDIF equipment. All external audio inputs include sample rate conversion, further reducing cabling and synchronization complexity. Word Clock I/O on BNC connectors allows external devices to clock to the RedNet D16R, or, alternatively, allows the RedNet D16R to act as a grandmaster network clock slave to an external input. Power is supplied through a pair of locking IEC power inputs, and network connections are provided with a pair of locking Neutrik etherCON connectors, enabling redundant or daisy-chained operation.
