The RedNet A16R MkII stands as a professional-grade 16-channel analogue interface engineered specifically for Dante® networks, featuring two additional channels of AES3 I/O capability. This precision-built unit offers exceptional A-D and D-A conversion with an impressive 119dB dynamic range and remarkably flat frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz (+/- 0.15dB). Individual channel level controls for both inputs and outputs provide meticulous adjustment of all I/O levels through RedNet Control software.
Built for mission-critical applications across recording studios, post-production facilities, live sound venues and broadcast environments, the A16R MkII incorporates dual power supplies and primary/secondary EtherCON network connectors. These built-in redundancy features enable silent fail-over during power or network interruptions, giving system technicians complete confidence in their setup.
Connectivity options include four rear-panel AES59 standard DB25 connectors for analogue I/O, plus male and female XLR connectors providing additional AES3 I/O flexibility - with the XLR input capable of accepting DARS signals alongside standard AES3. Word Clock I/O via BNC connectors allows external devices to sync to the A16R MkII, or alternatively enables the unit to function as a network clock grand master when following an external input.
Designed for both permanent installations and frequent setup scenarios, all connectors feature locking mechanisms that maintain secure termination even under stress. This robust construction ensures reliable performance in demanding environments, backed by Focusrite Pro’s comprehensive three-year warranty and acclaimed customer support.
