INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Focusrite RedNet AM2.
RedNet AM2 provides two channels of premium D-A conversion in the form of a stereo monitoring
unit, combining headphone and line outputs for monitoring of signals from the Dante Audio-over-IP
network.
RedNet AM2 includes two line-output XLRs plus a stereo TRS 1/4” jack socket. It provides high-
quality digital to analogue conversion for accurate monitoring on loudspeakers or headphones and
is designed to drive high or low impedance headphones at high levels with significant audio output
power. Two large volume control knobs are provided for Headphone and Line output levels, the latter
featuring a mute button with associated LED.
The compact unit, mounted in an enclosure based around a sturdy road-worthy aluminium extrusion,
is fitted with non-slip feet and can either sit securely on a flat surface or be mounted on top of a mic
stand using the 3/8” BSW threaded bush incorporated in the base.
Dual locking etherCON connectors are included on the rear-panel to connect to the network and to
daisy-chain to additional network devices.
The unit is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or via the rear-panel barrel connector and
included DC power supply. Each PSU’s status can be monitored remotely over the network and on
the top panel.
Tailored for all environments, each unit features two network ports, PoE and DC power options,
rugged construction with latching connectors and remote monitoring – RedNet AM2 is the perfect
portable break-out solution for analogue monitoring from a Dante network.
