Rednet MP8R

Built-in redundancy with dual power and network connections

Rugged roadworthy all-metal construction, high build quality, locking power and etherCON Ethernet connectors

Eight Focusrite remote-controlled preamps with enhanced input level capability, and dual input impedance to deliver maximum performance when one mic feeds single or multiple pres

Two outputs from each preamp: one direct and the other automatically gain-compensated to deliver a constant level

Remote-controllable Gain, Phantom Power and High-Pass Filter from Yamaha CL and QL Series Consoles.

20dB pad, HPF and polarity inversion per input

Operate locally, or remotely via RedNet Control software, Pro Tools, MIDI or OCA (Open Control Architecture)

Precision low-latency conversion at up to 24-bit/192kHz, with best-in-class dynamic range and overall audio quality

6-segment LED level meters; OLED display indicates input gain and system information

Compact 1U form factor

Full interoperability with other Dante products and networks

Microphone Inputs

Gain Range : 10dB to 65dB in 1dB steps

Type : Electronically Balanced, Zin = 2.4k/10k (Switchable); Inputs default to 2.4k when unit is unpowered.

Max. Input Level : 29dBu ±0.5; min gain with pad for 0dBFS, Rs = 150

Min. Input Level : -46dBu ±0.5; max gain without pad for 0dBFS, Rs = 150

Frequency Response : 20Hz - 40kHz ±0.1dB

THD + N : -98dB (0.0012%) @ -1dBFS, Rs = 150

EIN : -129dBu 'A'-Weighted (typical), Rs = 150

Signal-to-Noise Ratio : 118dB 'A'-Weighted (typical), Rs = 150

Phantom Power : +48V, independently switchable per channel.

Pad : -20dB, independently switchable per channel.

HPF : -6dB @ 65 ± 3Hz, 12dB/Octave, independently switchable per channel.

Crosstalk

Input to Input : <-100dB 20Hz - 20kHz; minimum input gain.

Digital Performance

Supported Sample Rates : 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192 kHz (-4% / -0.1% / +0.1% / +4.167%) at 24 bit

Clock Sources : Internal or from Dante Network Master.

Rear Panel Connectivity

Mic Inputs : 8 x Female XLR

PSU & Network Connections

PSU : 2 x IEC Inputs with retaining clips.

Network : 2 x etherCON connectors, also compatible with standard RJ45 connectors.

Front Panel Indicators

Primary PSU (A) : Green LED. Illuminates when an AC input is applied and all DC outputs are present.

Secondary PSU (B) : Green LED. Illuminates when an AC input is applied and all DC outputs are present.

Primary Network : Green LED. Indicates that a network connection is present on primary port when in redundant mode. When in Switched mode, a valid network connection at either Primary or Secondary network port will cause this LED to illuminate.

Secondary Network : Green LED. Indicates that a network connection is present on secondary port when in redundant mode. Not used in switched mode.

Network Locked : Green LED. When unit is network slave, shows valid network lock. When unit is network master, shows lock to internal clock.

Sample Rate : Orange LED for each: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, x2, x4.

Pull Up/Down : Orange LED. Indicates that the unit is set to operate on a Dante pull up/down domain.

Channel Signal Level : 6 level indicator LEDs for each channel. 3 Green LEDs, (-30dB, -18dB, -12dB); 2 orange LEDs (-6dB, -3dB); red LED (0dB/onset of clipping).

Channel Select Buttons : 8

Channel Function Controls : Info, Impedance, Pad, Phantom Power, HPF, Phase, Gain Encoder.

Channel Display : Colour OLED. Displays Channel Name, Gain, Lock status (When on), Channel Number, Gain Compensation status (When on).

Network Modes

Redundant : Allows unit to connect to two independent networks.

Switched : Connects both ports to integrated network switch allowing daisy-chaining of devices.
