INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Focusrite RedNet R1.
RedNet R1 is a hardware monitor controller and headphone output device.
RedNet R1 controls Focusrite audio-over-IP devices such as Red 4Pre, Red 8Pre, Red 8Line and
Red 16Line monitor sections.
RedNet R1 has the capability to control the mic pres of the Red interfaces.
RedNet R1 features two main sections: Input Sources and Monitor Outputs.
Up to eight multichannel source groups will be selectable above and below the left screen, each
with a select button which allows level adjustment and/or muting of a “spilled” source’s individual
channels.
Each Source has a meter that displays the highest channel level within the source; there are also
four talkback destination options.
Using either the built-in talkback mic, or the rear-panel XLR input, the user can instruct the
connected Red 4Pre, 8Pre, 8Line or 16Line where to route the talkback signal.
On the right of the unit is the Monitor Output section. Here, the user can Solo or Mute each of the
individual speaker outputs in up to a 7.1.4 workflow. Various Solo modes are offered.
A continuous pot with large aluminium knob cap offers level control for the outputs, as well as trim
for individual monitors/speakers. Adjacent to this are the Mute, Dim and Output Level Lock buttons.
Configuration of RedNet R1 is carried out using RedNet Control 2 software.
