Focusrite Red 16Line 64 x 64 Thunderbolt 3 and Pro Tools|HD Interface with Dante

The Focusrite Red 16Line is a state-of-the-art 64-in/64-out audio interface designed for professionals who demand high-quality audio performance. Equipped with dual Thunderbolt 3 ports and Pro Tools | HD connectivity, this versatile interface offers seamless integration with multiple DAWs without the hassle of reconfiguring option cards. The unit boasts ultra-low latency A-D/D-A conversion, delivering up to 121dB dynamic range. Additionally, the Red 16Line comes with dual-port Dante connectivity for easy expansion over Ethernet, making it a versatile choice for any studio setup.

Not only does the Red 16Line deliver superior audio conversion, it also revolutionizes your workflow. With its ultra-low round trip latency, you can now record and overdub in a single mix, eliminating the need for separate monitoring mixes. It features extensive analog I/O, including 16 line inputs and outputs, two main monitor outputs, and two digitally controlled Red Evolution mic preamps that provide up to 63dB of ultra-clean gain. All these features make it the preferred choice for professional recording studios and audio engineers who seek optimum performance and flexibility.

Included with the Red 16Line are Focusrite's renowned Red 2 and Red 3 EQ and compression plug-ins, allowing you to emulate classic sounds directly within your mix. Completing the package is the RedNet Control software, which offers an intuitive interface for setting up monitoring and routing configurations, giving you complete control over your workflow.
