Focusrite RedNet HD32R

The Focusrite RedNet HD32R is a 1U rackmount bridge unit that seamlessly connects Pro Tools HD, HDX, or Native systems directly to a Dante Audio-over-IP network. Acting as a 32x32 channel digital interface, it allows Pro Tools users to access remote Dante-enabled preamps, converters, and digital consoles over Ethernet without requiring additional Avid I/O hardware or complex option cards.

Designed for high-availability environments like broadcast facilities, post-production stages, and live sound trucks, the HD32R features dual internal power supplies with independent IEC inlets and dual etherCON network ports. This hardware redundancy ensures continuous, drop-free audio streaming even in the event of a primary network cable cut or power loss.

Key Features

• 32x32 Pro Tools HD to Dante Bridge: Routes 32 input and 32 output channels simultaneously between Pro Tools HD/HDX systems and Dante IP networks.

• Dual Mini-DigiLink Ports: Connects directly to Pro Tools HDX PCIe cards, HD Native systems, or legacy Pro Tools HD Core hardware.

• Complete Hardware Redundancy: Independent dual PSUs and dual locking etherCON network connectors provide bulletproof fail-safe protection.
