RED-16LINE

The Red 16Line 64 x 64 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface for Pro Tools | HD from Focusrite Pro features low latency AD/DA conversion, Red Evolution mic preamps, up to 121 dB dynamic range, low round-trip latency, and expansion over Ethernet for networked audio. It provides both DigiLink connectors and Thunderbolt connections, allowing easy switching from Pro Tools | HD to a second DAW, without the need to reconfigure option cards in the interface. Simply change the host mode either in the remote control software, or on the device front panel and change DAWs in seconds.

The Red 16Line audio interface has audio converters with over a 118 dB dynamic range A/D and 121 dB dynamic range D/A (A-weighted). You can build your mix on the DAW and use it whether you are overdubbing (monitoring the input you are recording with the Focusrite Control software mixer) or playing back, with all your plug-ins in place.

The audio interface features 16 line inputs on D-sub, coupled with 16 line outputs and two main monitor outputs. The two digitally-controlled Red Evolution mic preamps provide up to 63 dB of clean gain along with stereo linking, individual phantom power, high-pass filter, phase reverse, and Air mode. With a dual-port Dante card, it allows you to expand your studio over Ethernet for more channels at higher sample rates and lower latency anywhere in your network.

A premium bonus is the Brainworx bx_console Focusrite SC channel-strip plug-in, a stellar digital emulation of the legendary and rare Focusrite Studio Console. Only 10 of the consoles were ever produced, but you can access its famed sound directly in your DAW.
