Focusrite RedNet X2P – Portable 2x2 Dante I/O with Studio-Grade Monitoring

RedNet X2P delivers powerful audio flexibility in a compact Dante-enabled unit. It adds two clean Red Evolution mic/line/instrument pres, stereo line and headphone outputs, and mixing control—all over a single Ethernet cable via Power-over-Ethernet. Rugged and portable, it’s ideal for mobile studios, breakout rooms, or expanding any networked setup.

Hauptmerkmale

• Two Red Evolution mic pres with Air, HPF, phase, phantom, stereo link: Capture vocals, instruments, or DI sources with console-style clarity and character
• Single-cable PoE operation: Power, Dante I/O, and remote control via one Ethernet cable—clean setup, no extra power bricks
• High-performance conversion (24-bit, up to 96 kHz): Converter dynamic range exceeds 118 dB for pristine fidelity
• Local input mixer and crossfader: Blend local sources with network audio for latency-free “more-me” headphone mixes
• Control lockout modes: Secure mic pre or output controls so users can’t accidentally change important settings
• Mic-stand mountable and daisy-chainable: Built from robust metal, mount it on a stand or chain multiple units without a network switch
