Introducing new Focusrite Red and RedNet hardware.
We’re very excited to announce the upcoming introduction of four new Focusrite Pro products, designed specifically to meet the needs of modern audio professionals. In addition, support for Red Thunderbolt interfaces on Windows 10 opens the door of Red to the world of PC users.
Red 8Line is a new Thunderbolt 3-equipped addition to the hugely powerful Red range of Pro Tools | HD, Thunderbolt and Dante audio interfaces. RedNet R1 is a desktop remote controller that supercharges any Red range interface, by putting total control at the fingertips of audio professionals. RedNet A16R MkII and RedNet D16R MkII are updates to the popular multi-channel RedNet interfaces, which bring the Focusrite professional sound to any Dante-compatible audio system. Finally, in time for the launch of these products, Focusrite is proud to announce Windows 10 Compatibility for all Red interfaces. This greatly expands the addressable market for the Red range and makes Red interfaces the most versatile audio interface systems on the market in their price range.
RedNet R1: Supercharge any Focusrite Red interface
RedNet R1 is the perfect partner to the new Red 8Line and the other interfaces in the Focusrite Red range (Red 4Pre, Red 8Pre and Red 16Line). RedNet R1 provides extremely deep and powerful control over the I/O configuration and monitoring settings of Red interfaces. This enables audio pros to quickly address audio from the multitude of different sources available in the Red audio environment: Pro Tools | HD, Thunderbolt 3, Dante, ADAT, S/PDIF and analogue.
Red 8Line: The best sounding, most versatile and hardest working audio interface in any professional system
Red 8Line is the best choice for professionals who work in Pro Tools | HD and other DAWs — on both Mac and PC. With mini-DigiLink, Thunderbolt and Dante connections, it’s possible to instantly switch between Pro Tools | HD and native DAW applications, without the need to reconfigure your audio settings, while simultaneously interacting with the vast world of Dante Audio-over-IP equipment. Simply change the host mode either in RedNet Control software, or using a button on the Red 8Line front panel, to change DAWs in seconds. Pair it with the new RedNet R1 desktop remote controller, for an incredibly powerful user experience.
RedNet A16R MkII & RedNet D16R MkII
These updates to the most popular RedNet devices bring new functionality that makes them even more versatile. Both MkII models share the same feature set as their predecessors, but are upgraded with individual level controls for input and output channels. This allows precise calibration of all inputs and outputs, making the process of accurate alignment of connected equipment more straightforward.
