RedNet A16R MkII is a 1U 19in rack-mount interface featuring 16 channels of A-D & D-A plus one AES3 channel-pair, for the Dante audio-over-IP network. The operating level is switchable between 18 dBu and 24 dBu, and Mute/Dim and Level controls are provided on each input and output channel. Specifically tailored for the road, live-sound and broadcast environments, each unit features network and power redundancy, rugged construction with latching connectors, remote control and remote monitoring.
Dual Ethernet connectors (primary and secondary) on the rear-panel allow maximum network reliability with seamless switchover to a secondary network in the unlikely event of a network failure. These ports may alternatively be used to daisy-chain additional units when operating in Switched mode.
Redundant power supplies (PSU A and B) with separate input sockets on the rear panel allow one supply to be connected to an uninterruptible source. Each PSU’s status can be monitored remotely over the network or from the front panel.
RedNet A16R MkII has a Sample Rate Convertor (SRC) on the AES3 input pair allowing instant operation with any AES3 source irrespective of the sample rate or clocking of the Dante network.
Audio interface in provided by four standard 8-channel (AES59) Combined Analogue I/O DB25 connections. In addition, channels 17-18 act as the AES3 channels (When operating at quad sample rates the inputs to channels 17-18 will not be available, the user can then
select either: 1-16 analogue or 1-14 analogue and 15-16 AES3).
Word Clock I/O on BNC connectors allows synchronisation of the Dante network to house clock, or the syncing of external equipment to the Dante network. DARS reference can also be accepted via the XLR-3 input connector.
The RedNet A16R MkII front panel contains a set of LEDs to confirm PSU status, network status, sample rate, clock sources and signal presence on both input and output.
