Page 5: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing this Focusrite RedNet 1. RedNet 1 is a multichannel, bidirectional analogue interface for use with a RedNet digital audio networking system. RedNet is a powerful, low latency, digital audio networking system designed specifically for music, recording studio and broadcast applications. It is based on Audinate’s Dante™, a well-established audio networking technology known for its extreme robustness. Dante - and the RedNet system - is capable of transporting up to 512 channels of bidirectional audio (at 48 kHz sample rate) over a single Gigabit Ethernet link. The number of channels available in your DAW will depend on the host method being used. RedNet 1 provides eight analogue inputs and eight analogue outputs. A-D and D-A conversion is 24-bit at sample rates of up to 192 kHz, and up to 119 dB of dynamic range is achievable. JetPLL™... -

Page 7: Installation Guide
INSTALLATION GUIDE Unit connections and features RedNet 1 - Front Panel 1. AC Power switch 2. Tricolour LEDs indicating signal level at each A-D and D-A converter: • Green – signal level above -42 dBFS • Yellow – signal level above -6 dBFS • Red – signal level is 0 dBFS (digital clipping) 3. NETWORK status flags – two green LEDs confirming network status: • CONNECTED – illuminates when the unit is connected to an active Ethernet network • LOCKED – illuminates when a valid sync is received via the network 4. SAMPLE RATE indication – five yellow LEDs; only one of these (44 .1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88 .2 kHz, 96 kHz, 192 kHz) will be lit at a time, to confirm the sample rate that the system is running at. 5. LEVEL SETUP indication – two yellow LEDs; one of these will be illuminated to confirm the analogue reference level set for the unit, +24 dBu or +18 dBu. This is the analogue level which equates to the internal maximum digital clip level of 0 dBFS. -

Page 9: Physical Characteristics
Physical Characteristics RedNet 1’s dimensions are shown in the diagram below: 247.5mm / 9.74" 465.0mm / 18.30" 76.2mm / 3" RedNet 1 requires 2U of vertical rackspace and at least 350 mm of rack depth, to allow for cables. RedNet 1 weighs 4.12 kg and for installations in a fixed environment (e.g., a studio), the front panel mounting screws will provide adequate support. If the units are to be used in a mobile situation (e.g., flight-cased for touring, etc.), consideration should be given to using side support rails within the rack. RedNet 1 generates no significant heat, and is normally cooled by natural convection, though an internal cooling fan is fitted. We recommend that the unit should not be used in locations where the ambient temperature is greater than 30°C. However, if this is unavoidable, the fan can be turned on and off from RedNet Control. -
Page 10: Other Rednet System Components
OTHER REDNET SYSTEM COMPONENTS The RedNet hardware range includes various types of I/O interface and a PCIe digital audio interface card which is installed in the system’s host computer. All the I/O units can be considered as “Break- Out” (and/or “Break-In”) boxes to/from the network, and all are built in mains-powered, 2U 19” rackmounting housings. There are also three software items, RedNet Control (see below), Dante Controller and Dante Virtual Soundcard. USING REDNET CONTROL A virtual depiction of RedNet 1 will appear on-screen in RedNet Control when a unit is included in the active system. Metering: Each input and output has 3 virtual LEDs corresponding to the levels indicated by the tricolour LEDs on the physical front panel. These illuminate at -42 dBFS, -6 dBFS and 0 dBFS respectively. -
