TECHNOLOGY NEWS Focusrite Extends RedNet Range
THE LATEST addition to Focusrite’s RedNet range is the D16 AES – a 1U, 19in rack-mountable Dante interface featuring 16 channels of AES- EBU connectivity to and from the Dante audio network. The RedNet D16 is designed for bridging between digital consoles,
power amplifiers, or any other AES3-equipped audio equipment and a Dante Network. The unit features sample rate conversion on each input pair allowing plug-and-play operation with any AES3 source. The two network connectors on the rear of the unit allow two modes of operation. They can be used either as a primary/redundant network interface, allowing seamless switchover in the case of network failure, or as a daisy-chain port allowing the connection of multiple units. The rear panel XLR input connector can either be used as a DARS input or as a traditional AES3 audio input, replacing channels 1-2 of the DB25 inputs. Also, S/PDIF input and outputs are provided on RCA connectors, which is said to be ideal for connecting CD players or solid-state recorders. The input replaces channels three and four in the DB25 connector while the output can be assigned to replicate any adjacent odd/even output pair. All the clocking and input/output options of RedNet D16 AES are
remotely controlled by the RedNet Control software application for Mac and PC.

IK Multimedia Adds the ‘Holy Grail’ of Mastering EQs
T-RACKS CS 4.5, the latest version of IK Multimedia’s T-RackS Custom Shop mixing and mastering plug-in, has just been released and includes a number of new additions to its already extensive collection of mixing and mastering audio processors. Among the new additions is the first ever software model of the Master EQ
432 – the first parametric design EQ that became the basis for all subsequent parametric equalisers in music recording history. The original 432 has become one of the go-to mastering EQs due to its inherent musicality, audio quality, and transparency. The T-RackS Master EQ 432 is a stereo five-band parametric EQ featuring
two bands of shelving EQ plus three bands of peaking EQ and has been designed to duplicate the original’s sonic character, functionality, and familiar look while adding extended features. T-RackS CS runs either as a standalone program for mastering mixes, or as a plug-in within a DAW. It gives access to a wide range of IK Multimedia’s processing modules including Precision Compressor/Limiter, Bus Compressor, White Channel, Tape Echo, British Channel, Black 76 Limiting Amplifier, Vintage Tube Program Equalizer, CSR Hall Reverb, and more.
