AMS-REDNET-A16R - Overview

RedNet A16R adds 16 remote-controlled analogue channels in and out to any Dante audio-over-IP network. This interface includes full power supply and network redundancy in a compact, rugged 1U enclosure that make it ideal for demanding applications such as live, broadcast and education as well as in the recording studio industry. Featuring Focusrite's precision 24-bit A-D and D-A conversion, it delivers superb audio performance with 119dB dynamic range at standard sample rates up to 192kHz, with pull up/down.

The rear panel includes standard DB25 connectors for analogue patchbay or breakout cable interfacing.

RedNet A16R is a 1U bi-directional Network Audio Interface providing 16 analogue inputs and 16 analogue outputs, plus an additional two channels of AES/EBU I/O - the XLR input socket for which may alternatively be used for DARS. Word Clock in and out are also provided on BNC connectors.

Internally, analogue signals are converted using precision Focusrite conversion technology to and from 24-bit digital signals. User-selectable sample rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz and 192kHz are supported for both A-D and D-A conversion, and Jet PLLr technology is employed to minimize conversion jitter. All analogue inputs and outputs offer a frequency response of 20Hz-20kHz ±0.05dB, with a dynamic range of 119dB A-weighted.

Electronically-balanced analogue inputs and outputs are provided on 25-way female D-Sub connectors, wired to the AES59 standard, while internal signals are fully balanced throughout. Inputs and outputs may be confi gured remotely for either +18dBu or +24dBu alignment.

LED front panel indicators display the status of PSU A/B and Network Primary/Secondary connections, Sync Source, Pull Up/Down and Lock status, Sample Rate, AES/EBU I/O, and Input/Output Signal Levels.

RedNet A16R features a sturdy 1U industrial package designed for fixed installation in engineered audio and communications systems.

Rear-panel dual 8p8c/RJ45 etherCON locking Ethernet ports are provided with full network redundancy. The unit may be operated in Redundant or Switched mode: in the latter case the unit can be used with a single Ethernet connection and additional devices chained from the secondary connector. In Redundant mode the unit will switch between Primary and Secondary connections automatically without any signal loss in the unlikely event of a network failure.

Dual independent power supplies are also included and the unit will switch automatically between supplies in case of a failure. Retaining clips are provided for the power cables.
