All references relating to the RedNet 6 are also applicable to the RedNet D64R. In any instances where names or values differ, the screening or value for the D64R unit will be appended in square brackets, e.g., “Power [PSU A]”. -
Page 4: Introduction
RedNet 6 RedNet D64R RedNet 6/D64R MADI Bridge is a 1U 19in rack-mount unit that provides an interface between any MADI (AES10) device and the RedNet Ethernet audio system. Support for up to 64 channels of digital audio I/O at standard sample rates (44.1/48kHz) from a MADI system –... -

Up/Down indicators will illuminate. RedNet Clock Source Indicators When RedNet 6/D64R is the clock leader of the Dante network, one of the following indicators will illuminate: • INTERNAL – Orange LED, indicates that unit is locked to its internal clock. - Page 6 BNC. MADI Status [Signal] • RedNet 6:SRC – Orange LED, indicates that SRC is currently active. • D64R:INPUT – Green LED, indicates a signal present at the selected MADI input. The LED will light if any of the channels in the input stream has a value of -42dB(fs) or higher.

Network Port [Primary] RJ45 [etherCON] connection for the Dante network. Use standard Cat 5e or Cat 6 network cables to connect to a local Ethernet switch to connect the RedNet 6/D64R to the RedNet network. Adjacent to each network socket are LEDs which illuminate to indicate a valid network connection plus network activity. -
Page 8: Power Connection
RedNet 6 and RedNet D64R Power Connection This information is only applicable to the RedNet D64R. IEC Power Cord Retaining Clip RedNet D64R is supplied with IEC power cord retaining clips. These prevent accidental disconnection of a power cord during use. When the unit is first installed, the retaining clips need to be attached to power input sockets on the rear panel. -
Page 9: Physical Characteristics
RedNet 6/D64R dimensions are illustrated in the diagram above. RedNet 6/D64R requires 1U of vertical rack space and at least 350 mm of rack depth, to allow for cables. RedNet 6/D64R weighs 3.74 (4.32) kg and for installations in a fixed environment (e.g., a studio), the front-panel mounting screws will provide adequate support. -

RedNet 6/D64R or another RedNet unit. • With Word Clock In as the clock source, any device which is sending a MADI signal to RedNet 6/D64R must also receive a valid clock signal from the same source as RedNet 6/ D64R. -
Page 11: Madi Modes
6/D64R will automatically detect the channel count of incoming signals, meaning the user does not need to adjust any settings. When ‘Follow Rx’ (as described below) is set, the MADI output of RedNet 6/D64R will automatically be set to match the incoming MADI signal. -
Page 12: Pull Up And Pull Down Operation
RedNet 6 and RedNet D64R Pull Up and Pull Down Operation RedNet 6/D64R is able to operate at a specified pull-up or pull-down percentage as selected in the Dante Controller application. When operating in 64-channel (i.e. non-varispeed) mode, MADI is not capable of operating at greater than approximately ±1% of the nominal sample rate. -
