Focusrite RedNet D64R

The Focusrite RedNet D64R is a robust 1U rackmount MADI-to-Dante bridge that provides 64 channels of digital I/O between MADI (AES10) infrastructure and Dante Audio-over-IP networks. Engineered for broadcast facilities, large-scale live production, and commercial recording studios, it bridges legacy MADI consoles, routers, and recording systems directly into modern IP audio networks with sample-rate flexibility.

Featuring both optical SC and coaxial BNC MADI connections, the D64R provides complete flexibility for long distance optical cable runs or standard coaxial patches. Built for mission-critical reliability, it incorporates dual internal power supplies with independent IEC inlets and dual locking etherCON network ports for fail-safe operation during live broadcasts and high-profile events.

Key Features

• 64x64 MADI to Dante Conversion: Converts up to 64 channels of digital audio at 48kHz (32 channels at 96kHz, 16 channels at 192kHz) between MADI and Dante.

• Optical & Coaxial MADI Connectivity: Includes both BNC coaxial and SC optical MADI I/O for seamless connection to any digital console or router.

• Built-in Sample Rate Converters: Independent SRC on MADI inputs and outputs eliminates the need to lock external MADI hardware to the Dante network clock.

• Dual Power & Network Redundancy: Features dual internal PSUs and dual etherCON network ports to guard against power loss or cable failure.

• Broadcast Ready: Fully compliant with AES67, SMPTE ST 2110, and Dante Domain Manager (DDM) enterprise environments.

• Flexible Word Clock & Video Sync: Features BNC Word Clock I/O alongside Video Sync input for tight lock in broadcast post-production workflows.
