Physical Characteristics
RedNet MP8R dimensions are illustrated in the diagram above.
RedNet MP8R requires 1U of vertical rack space and at least 440mm of rack depth, to allow for
cables. RedNet MP8R weighs 5.75 kg and for installations in a fixed environment (eg., a studio), the
front-panel mounting screws will provide adequate support. If the units are to be used in a mobile
situation (eg., flight-cased for touring, etc.), it is recommended that side support rails or shelves
should be used within the rack.
Cooling is by low-noise fan assistance from side to side. The fan used is low-speed and low-noise
but can also be turned off via RedNet control.
Do not mount RedNet MP8R immediately above any other equipment which generates significant
heat, for example, a power amplifier. Also, ensure that when mounted in a rack, the side vents are
not obstructed.
Power Requirements
RedNet MP8R is mains-powered. It incorporates ‘Universal’ power supplies, which can operate on
any AC mains voltage from 100 V to 240 V. The AC connections are made via a standard 3-pin IEC
connectors on the rear panel.
When PSU A & PSU B are both connected, PSU A becomes the default supply and therefore draws
more current than B. If a backup mains supply is provided from an uninterruptable source, it is
recommended that this is connected to input B.
Mating IEC cables are supplied with the unit; these should be terminated with mains plugs of the
correct type for your country.
The AC power consumption of the RedNet MP8R is 30VA.
Please note that there are no fuses in RedNet MP8R, or other user-replaceable components of any
type. Please refer all servicing issues to the Customer Support Team (see “Customer Support and
Unit Servicing” on page 19).
