The Recording Arts and Technology programme at Southwestern College in the San Diego California suburb of Chula Vista is one of the nation's top audio programmes. Begun in May 2008, under the direction of Professor Jay Henry, a two-time Grammy award nominee for his engineering and production skills, the Recording Arts and Technology programme prepares students for careers in the entertainment industries of music, television and film, utilising state-of-the-art music studios and labs for a hands-on learning experience that emphasizes fundamental recording technique and knowledge. Henry entered the music industry decades ago, has experienced the huge changes in the music recording industry and he has kept his educational program flexible to adapt to the changes yet to come. That's why he was excited to discover Focusrite s RedNet networked audio I/O technology. In recent weeks, Prof. Henry directed the purchase of two RedNet 5 HD interfaces for his Pro Tools| HD systems coupled with three RedNet 2 16-channel analog I/O interfaces for his main recording and satellite mixing rooms. Once these units are installed, the two studios at the core of the Recording Arts and Technology programme will be able to be completely networked, allowing seamless access of audio between rooms and giving students and faculty a high degree of flexibility in how those facilities are used.
We've kept this programme at the cutting edge since it began, and we've been waiting for a networked solution like RedNet to come along for a while, explains Henry, whose professional and personal affinity for Focusrite products goes way back through his relationship with long-time colleague and current Focusrite Novation Inc. President Phil Wagner. Phil and I go way back, and we understand how you need to both address the cutting edge of technology and also make sure that the sound is always the first consideration. I get that with the Focusrite RedNet system - we get seamless connectivity and the built-in Dante networking, and of course great sound at the same time. Focusrite has never let me down, and it's going to be a great benefit for our students and teachers here too, as RedNet represents the future for recording and interconnectivity.
Henry added, The best thing sonically about RedNet is the detail and width of the stereo image, which is a direct result of RedNets next generation A/D - D/A design and premium analog circuitry. RedNet sounds more open, it's like taking the roof off your mix.
RedNet is Focusrite's flagship range of modular Ethernet-networked audio interfaces that harnesses the power of Audinate's tried and tested Dante digital audio networking system to bring studio quality sound to any modern audio application.
RedNet 5 connects your RedNet system to Pro Tools|HD via a standard DigiLink or Mini DigiLink cable. Up to six units can be connected to one Pro Tools HDX system, supporting up to 192 channels at 96 kHz or 96 channels at 192 kHz. Pro Tools|HD Native and Pro Tools|HD are also supported. RedNet 5 is interoperable with other Pro Tools interfaces and features extremely low latency.
RedNet 2 adds 16 analogue channels in and out to your RedNet network and can be located anywhere you can run an Ethernet cable. Featuring Focusrite's precision 24-bit A-D and D-A conversion for superb audio performance, it delivers 119 dB dynamic range at sample rates up to 192 kHz. The rear panel includes standard DB25 connectors for analogue patchbay or breakout cable interfacing.
