Focusrite’s RedNet PCIeNX PCIe Dante interface is shipping, providing immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos and other Dante applications that demand high-channel counts. With the capacity for 128 x 128 audio channels at up to 24-bit, 192kHz and ultra-low latency, RedNet PCIeNX is compatible with both PC and Mac, including the latest Apple Silicon, integrating into existing setups and enhancing any Dante workflow.

This PCIe card “caters to the needs of post-production professionals working in Dolby Atmos, offering seamless integration of high-channel-count Dante audio with the Dolby Atmos Renderer.” Focusrite also says commercial recording studios and music production facilities also benefit from the card’s outstanding performance, flexibility and scalability, delivering 128 x 128 channels of uncompressed, high-resolution audio at ultra-low latency.

Featuring two Ethernet RJ-45 connections that now support switched and redundant modes, Focusrite says the RedNet PCIeNX ensures flexible connectivity and offers a secondary network option for mission-critical situations. The card also supports AES67, Dante Domain Manager, and is SMPTE ST 2110 compliant, making it an “ideal choice for broadcast deployment.”

The integrated network interface enables a single-cable connection for both audio and network control. RedNet PCIeNX integrates with RedNet Control, providing a unified application for the control and monitoring of all RedNet devices on the network.
