Focusrite RedNet PCIeR 128×128 Dante Interface for Mac and PC

The RedNet PCIeR is an internal 4x PCIe card designed to be installed in a computer’s standard PCI Express slot or a compatible Thunderbolt expansion chassis. It acts as a bridge between the host computer and a Dante audio-over-IP network, supporting bidirectional audio connectivity via dual rear panel RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports. This dual-port design provides seamless, automatic network redundancy, which is crucial for mission-critical live sound, broadcast, and recording studio environments. The card operates with ASIO and Core Audio applications on Intel-based Mac and Windows systems, delivering very low latency performance for tracking and demanding post-production workflows. The interface supports high-quality 24-bit audio at sample rates up to 192 kHz. Read more

Features
