The Focusrite RedNet PCIeNX is a high-channel-count PCIe Dante interface card delivering 128x128 audio channels at sample rates up to 192kHz, with ultra-low round-trip latency. Designed for immersive audio production in formats like Dolby Atmos, it installs in a standard PCIe slot or Thunderbolt expansion chassis.

Expandability and Standards

An optional paid upgrade through Audinate's Dante Activator doubles the channel count to 256x256 at sample rates up to 96kHz. At 176.4kHz and 192kHz, the channel count remains 128x128. RedNet PCIeNX supports AES67, Dante Domain Manager, and is SMPTE ST 2110 compliant, making it suitable for broadcast and post-production environments alongside music production.
