Focusrite RedNet A16R MkII
16 in, 16 out analogue-to-Dante interface with redundant network and PSU, used to get analogue sources and destinations onto a Dante network in a rack.
Protocols it speaks
| Protocol | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| dante | bidirectional | 16x16 analogue to Dante, primary and secondary ports. |
| aes67 | bidirectional | AES67 mode. |
| word-clock | bidirectional | Word clock in and out. |
Connectors
- 16x analogue in (DB25)
- 16x analogue out (DB25)
- 2x etherCON Dante
- Word clock in/out
- Redundant PSU
What to watch for
Dante device naming is the patch. Two identically named RedNet units on the same network is an immediate identity clash.
Redundant Dante means two physically separate networks, not two cables into the same switch. Wiring both ports to one switch provides no redundancy at all.
