Description

The Focusrite Red 16Line is a 64-input/64-output audio interface for Thunderbolt 3, Pro Tools | HD, and Dante workflows. It combines 16 line inputs and outputs, two Red Evolution microphone preamps, and network audio connectivity in one unit.

Features

Up to 64 inputs and 64 outputs
Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports and Mini DigiLink connections for Pro Tools | HD
Up to 32 x 32 Dante network audio channels
16 line inputs and 16 line outputs on D-sub connectors
Two remote-controlled Red Evolution microphone preamps
Two front-panel instrument inputs and two headphone outputs
Word clock and loop-sync connectivity
Three LCD displays for input and output metering

Why We Like This

Red 16Line gives facilities a way to work between Thunderbolt-based recording and Pro Tools | HD without changing interface cards. Its Dante connections also allow audio routing into a networked system.
