Focusrite debuts RedNet to Middle East studios

Melody House, distributors of Focusrite has recently launched the New RedNet system. The system is now available in the Middle East, after being officially announced in the US earlier last year.

RedNet is Focusrite’s new flagship range of Ethernet-networked studio interfaces, based around the tried and tested Dante Ethernet audio networking system from Australian company Audinate. Focusrite’s RedNet is the first to offer IP network audio interfaces for the recording studio – or any application that requires moving high-quality audio around with ultra-low latency.

RedNet forms a scalable system that comprises high-quality, versatile interfaces that deliver traditional Focusrite quality sound and performance, with exceptional value for money. Fundamentally, RedNet is a near zero-latency audio distribution system. It is highly expandable; Audinate’s Dante technology enables a single link on the network to handle up to 512 channels (I/O) at 48kHz.

Every analogue interface delivers dynamic range of 119dB, with 24-bit resolution at sample rates up to 192kHz. Each embodies the most advanced digital audio conversion designs available, including the latest A-D and D-A components, to provide exceptional quality. And with RedNet, you don’t need additional cabling and complexity to sync to a master clock: the system takes care of that automatically as rock steady clocking between units is carried over Ethernet with JetPLL for ultra-low-jitter.

“The RedNet system is designed in a modular way to allow various users flexibility to purchase what they need,” commented Moswain Antao, Head of IT/Marketing at Melody House. He added, “RedNet can also be connected to most of today’s live audio consoles, bridging the gap from studio to stage.”
