Focusrite RedNet R1 - Desktop Remote Controller for Red Interfaces with PoE

Focusrite RedNet R1

The Focusrite RedNet R1 is a desktop remote controller that unleashes the full potential of the Red interfaces. The R1 allows you to control a large range of monitor output setups including mono through to 7.1.4, including Dolby Atmos and other immersive audio workflows. Top-panel controls include level, reference level pre-set selection, cut, dim, mute and a number of solo modes. 

RedNet R1 also features a Dante-enabled talkback section, internal mic-pre and a high-powered headphones output, so you can interact with your Dante system like never before. Up to four talkback destination groups are available when used with a Red interface. (When used with other Dante devices, a single talkback group is available.) RedNet R1 has an internal microphone, or users can connect their own microphone via the rear-panel XLR. The high-fidelity headphone output is powerful enough to deliver high-SPL audio to high-impedance headphones.

RedNet R1 features two LCD displays for highly accurate level metering of the outputs, sources and headphone outputs, and for giving visual cues for navigating around menus. The unit is configured using RedNet Control 2, the software manager designed primarily for ease of use in quickly setting up both simple and complex monitoring and routing configurations. Other features of the RedNet R1 include a quarter-inch jack socket, which accepts a footswitch for talkback management, LFE muting and more. It can be powered via Ethernet to reduce cabling complexity (using the PoE standard), or by a DC power supply.
