The RedNet MP8R is an 8-channel remote-controlled microphone preamp and analogue-to-digital converter designed for Dante audio-over-IP networks. Built for live sound, recording, broadcast, and other mission-critical environments, it combines Focusrite’s renowned preamp technology with reliable networked audio performance. Featuring eight high-quality remote-controlled mic preamps developed specifically for the RedNet range, the MP8R delivers exceptional clarity, low latency, and flexible signal routing. Each preamp offers selectable input impedance options of 10kΩ and 2.4kΩ, allowing engineers to optimize microphone performance and manage parallel microphone splits with ease. The MP8R includes eight auxiliary outputs with automatic DSP-based gain tracking, providing seamless digital splits for complex live and broadcast workflows. Following the preamps are eight channels of Focusrite precision A/D conversion, supporting up to 24-bit/192kHz operation with outstanding dynamic range and ultra-low latency. Designed for professional reliability, the RedNet MP8R features redundant Ethernet and power connections, a rugged road-ready chassis, and a compact 1U rackmount format suitable for touring rigs, studios, and broadcast facilities.
