FocusriteRedNet A16R MkII 16-channel Bi-Directional Analog Interface for Dante Networks
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
RedNet A16R MkII is a 16-channel analogue interface for Dante networks, with two AES3 I/O channels alongside its analogue connections. Per-channel input and output level control in RedNet Control gives engineers direct adjustment of I/O levels. Dual internal power supplies and primary/secondary etherCON network connections provide redundancy with silent fail-over during a power or network outage. Its locking connectors are built to remain terminated under stress, whether the rack is permanent or moved as required.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Critical recording, post-production, live sound or broadcast paths requiring redundant power and network connections.
- Rack systems that remain installed or need to be installed and removed as requirements change.
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Dual power supplies and redundant network connections
Provides silent fail-over if power or network connectivity is lost.
Detail 03
Primary and secondary etherCON ports
The ports also accept standard RJ45 connectors; rugged etherCON NE8MC is accommodated.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm cable connector types: the network ports do not intermate with Cat 6 NE8MC6-MO and NKE65 cable connectors.
