RedNet MP8R: Dante microphone preamplifier for critical applications

Focusrite RedNet MP8R is an 8-channel microphone preamplifier with A/D conversion and remote control designed for professional environments such as Live Sound, broadcast and studio. With its dual output (direct + compensated), it allows use in FOH/digital monitor configurations without gain conflicts.

Complete control and total flexibility

Each channel has pads, high-pass filter, phase inversion, 48V phantom and selectable impedance. Control is available via RedNet Control, Pro Tools, MIDI or directly from the front panel with OLED display and 6-segment LED meter.

Designed for reliability in the field

MP8R offers dual power supplies with fault detection and dual etherCON network ports in redundant or switched mode. The interface is designed for mission-critical environments, with rugged chassis and high-quality Neutrik components.

Crystal-clear audio and high-end conversion

A/D conversion is by Focusrite, with superior performance: 118 dB dynamic range, EIN -129 dBu and support for up to 192 kHz/24 bit. Ideal for recording in high-dynamic environments without compromise.
