Focusrite RedNet Runs The Killers FOH System - Gearjunkies - Music tech news, Reviews, Videos, Synthesizers, Studio, Recording
Thanks to its flexibility, Focusrite's RedNet audio I/O technology is being implemented in a diverse range of applications. From single-unit laptop recording setups to multi-room studio environments, RedNet is proving to be a popular audio interface system. One of the highest-profile implementations of RedNet to date is the front-of-house rig for The Killers' world tour, where a RedNet 1 eight channel A-D/D-A, and RedNet 4 eight-channel mic preamp perform a number of duties for Systems Engineer Philip Reynolds. He made the decision to use RedNet in order to maintain the audio within the digital domain — A-D conversion takes place side-stage as soon as the mics plug into the stagebox — for as long as possible before conversion to analogue. It's this, says Philip, that keeps the audio quality world-class.
