RedNet MP8R

The Focusrite RedNet MP8R is a 1U rackmount Dante interface featuring 8 remote-controlled, high-performance microphone preamplifiers with built-in A/D conversion up to $24\text{-bit / }192\text{ kHz}$. Engineered specifically for live sound reinforcement, broadcast production, and remote recording environments, it delivers pristine Focusrite pre amplification coupled with dual power supplies and dual Ethernet network redundancy.

Built for demanding live environments, the MP8R features dual power supplies with separate IEC inlets and dual locking etherCON network connectors for fail-safe operation. All preamps are fully remote-controllable via RedNet Control software, Audinate Dante Controller, or directly from Yamaha CL/QL and Soundcraft digital mixing consoles.

Key Features

• 8 Remote-Controlled Preamps: Digitally controlled mic preamps with $10\text{ to }65\text{ dB}$ gain range in precise $1\text{ dB}$steps.

• Auto-Gain Split Tracking: DSP-driven gain compensation allows independent digital trim control for dual network operators.

• Dual Power & Network Redundancy: Independent dual PSUs and dual etherCON network ports safeguard against power supply or cable failure.

• Direct Digital Console Integration: Remote preamp control directly from supported Yamaha, Soundcraft, and MIDI-based mixing desks.

• High-Dynamic-Range Conversion: Premium A/D conversion delivers up to $117\text{ dB}$ dynamic range with ultra-low noise and distortion.

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