Enhance your audio recording and broadcasting experience with the RedNet MP8R 8CH Remote Controlled Microphone Preamplifier and A/D for Dante Networks. This 8-channel remote-controlled microphone preamplifier and A/D converter is specifically designed for the Dante audio-over-IP network, offering a seamless integration with other Dante products and networks.

The RedNet MP8R is a product of meticulous development, incorporating features from the RedNet 4 studio remote-controlled microphone preamp and valuable input from leading live sound practitioners. It is particularly suited for live sound/recording, broadcasting environments, and other workflows where reliability is a top priority.

This device boasts built-in redundancy with dual power and network connections, ensuring uninterrupted performance. Its rugged, roadworthy all-metal construction and high build quality make it a durable choice for demanding environments. The unit also features locking power and etherCON Ethernet connectors for added security.

The RedNet MP8R is equipped with eight Focusrite remote-controlled preamps, offering enhanced input level capability and dual input impedance. This ensures maximum performance when a single microphone feeds single or multiple preamps. Each preamp provides two outputs: one direct and the other automatically gain-compensated to deliver a constant level.

The device offers remote-controllable Gain, Phantom Power, and High-Pass Filter from Yamaha CL and QL Series Consoles. It also features a 20dB pad, HPF, and polarity inversion per input. You can operate it locally or remotely via RedNet Control software, Pro Tools, MIDI, or OCA (Open Control Architecture - available 2015 via firmware update).

The RedNet MP8R delivers precision low-latency conversion at up to 24-bit/192kHz, providing best-in-class dynamic range and overall audio quality. It also features 6-segment LED level meters and an OLED display that indicates input gain and system information.

Despite its robust features, the RedNet MP8R maintains a compact 1U form factor, making it an efficient choice for space-conscious setups. It also offers full interoperability with other Dante products and networks, ensuring a seamless integration into your existing system.

The RedNet MP8R is a testament to Focusrite's award-winning mic pre designs, offering lower noise, great dynamic range, and better Common Mode Rejection than ever before. With its sophisticated gain tracking ability, flexible control options, and high-precision conversion, the RedNet MP8R sets a new standard in audio technology.
