Focusrite RedNet MP8R - 8 Channel Mic Pre and A/D with Redundancy

Remote-Controlled Mic Pre With Dual PSUs

The Focusrite RedNet MP8R is a 1U, eight-channel remote-controlled mic pre and A-D interface for any Dante™ audio-over-IP network. Featuring network and power supply redundancy, RedNet MP8R is the ideal choice for providing mic pres in many critical-path applications, whether in Post Production, Broadcast, Live Sound or the Recording Studio.

Dante™ & Digital Audio
Focusrite RedNet uses the Dante protocol to connect to your studio network. Dante (Digital Audio Network Through Ethernet) transmits uncompressed, multi-channel digital audio over a standard Ethernet with incredibly low latency.

Dante has the ability to pass through network routers and provide native gigabit support. Dante provides easy implementation and a cost-saving advantage for studios taking over existing infrastructure with multiple rooms. With Dante, audio can be sent anywhere over existing IT wiring. If changes are required, a single network or fibre-optic cable can carry multiple channels, making it possible to make infrastructure changes relatively quickly and inexpensively, without the need for major construction.

Live Performance and Broadcast
Focusrite went back to the drawing board with the RedNet MP8R to create an amazing set of preamps, now with up to +28dBu input level, -20dB pad, phase invert, high/low impedance modes, and even better common mode rejection. With plenty of headroom, virtually no noise and a well-balanced response across the entire gain range, the RedNet MP8R exceeds the expectations of live sound engineers.

Convenient Remoteable Control
The RedNet MP8R fits as a component of a large-scale system. Focusrite makes it easy for you to control and re-route signals via a simple software control panel. No matter where you are in your facility, if you have access to the RedNet network from your computer you'll have complete control over every RedNet device connected to that network.
