Your Compact Dante Interface Solution

If you need to add I/O to your Focusrite Red interface or any Dante audio-over-IP system, Sweetwater has a suggestion: Focusrite's RedNet X2P. The RedNet X2P is a compact, roadworthy 2x2 Dante audio interface equipped with two Red Evolution mic preamps, a stereo line out, and a stereo headphone amplifier. Power, audio, and remote control are transmitted over a single Ethernet cable (Ethernet powering requires an optional Power-over-Ethernet switch or PoE injector). And the RedNet X2P features a rotary input mix fader that lets you adjust the level of local inputs relative to network inputs.

Pristine preamps with Air, high-performance conversion

The RedNet X2P's two digitally controlled Red Evolution mic preamplifiers supply copious clean gain, along with provisions for stereo linking, individually selectable phantom power, a highpass filter, and polarity reversal. And of course, they include Focusrite's famous Air effect, which emulates the sound of the company's legendary transformer-based mic pres. The RedNet X2P offers high-performance audio conversion with over 118dB of dynamic range. These converters are calibrated to provide an optimal balance of sonic quality, dynamic range, and low latency.

Flexible control lockout

Flexible control lockout enables you to lock out local control of mic pre settings, output settings — or both — during remote use. So go ahead: leave the RedNet X2P with your artists and allow them to adjust their headphone mix and level, confident they won't accidentally adjust your microphone gain. You can mount the RedNet X2P directly to a mic stand, keeping it within reach, but out of the way.

Focusrite RedNet X2P Features:

  • 2x2 Dante audio interface
  • 2 Red Evolution mic preamps supply copious clean gain
  • Focusrite's famous Air effect emulates the sound of the company's legendary transformer-based mic pres
  • High-performance audio conversion with over 118dB of dynamic range
  • Flexible control lockout protects your settings during remote use
  • May be conveniently mounted directly to a mic stand
  • Power, audio, and remote control transmitted via a single Ethernet cable
  • Ethernet powering requires optional Power-over-Ethernet switch or PoE injector

For Dante away from the venue, just the ticket

First, this product at this price point might provoke comparison to other high-end desktop audio interfaces, but that's only partially valid. You do get a 2x2 audio interface with elegant, super-clean analog circuitry and digital conversion. The headphone amp is especially beefy and clean ... better than some fancy outboard pieces I've had.

However, there is no DSP ... you don't get to run "powered" plugins. Though there are some nice ones bundled with it, they're native, would work with any audio hardware. The value in this piece (beyond the really high quality analog) is that it goes on a Dante network. If that's not your situation, it's probably not for you ... you can get more bang for the buck elsewhere.

I do live shows for a living, on a Dante-enabled console. Part of the routine is to record discreet stems to slice & dice for promotion, special rehearsal mixes, etc. Quite similar to a house of worship, I would think. Having this in my home shop means I can keep all my DAW files and configurations pointing to DVS as the audio "hardware", all the time. Running MacOS at least, it works very well with DVS as the system device as well, and gives me nice desktop control of speaker & headphone levels.

In summary, if your workflow is such that keeping yourself in the Dante world all the time would be a good thing ... this is a very good thing, and well worth the price.

Great bad boy

This Tool is great, if you have Rednet devices, you will be in disney world, that is amazing, and when I have to go and make some recording in another places, I bring this in my back pack with my laptop, that's it. many uses for this little bad boy... the conversion and preamps, no more words, simply RED...

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Nick Rice

I originally picked this piece up because I wanted to get into an audio interface that would be compatible with both Mac and PC, have rock solid control software, and have the capabilities of upgrading the system without having to replace my interface. The RedNet series gives me all of that, along with two high-quality mic pres, tons of headroom, and intuitive controls. The "input mix" and "headphones" knobs make setting levels during tracking very easy, so there's no more going back and forth between control software and the DAW.

If you're like a lot of the recording engineers here at Sweetwater, then you probably grew up with stories of the legendary Focusrite Forte console and its ISA preamps. Our relationship with Focusrite is extremely tight, and we regularly enjoy everything from the inside scoop on new gear to fish and chips when they stop by Sweetwater. While Focusrite still produces the classic analog preamps, EQs, and compressors we love, our Sales Engineers are just as excited to introduce our customers to their remarkable RedNet network audio platform, and we have worked with Focusrite to outfit studios, churches, venues, and schools with this awesome technology in action. From everyday audio interfaces to full system designs, if you want Focusrite gear, Sweetwater has you covered.
