Focusrite Red 16Line Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface - 64x64 I/O
The Red 16Line is an amazing 64-in/64-out audio interface that offers seamless connectivity to Pro Tools | HD, Thunderbolt computers, and Dante simultaneously, without the need for option cards. It's a dream come true for audio professionals!
• High-performance audio conversion with over 118dB dynamic range A/D and 121dB dynamic range D/A (A-weighted) ensures top-notch sound quality.
• Ultra-low round trip latency allows you to track through plug-ins and record virtual instruments in real time, revolutionizing your workflow.
• 16 line inputs on D-sub, coupled with 16 line outputs and two main monitor outputs, provide all the connectivity you need.
With two digitally-controlled Red Evolution mic preamps that offer up to 63dB of ultra-clean gain, stereo linking, individual phantom power, high-pass filter, phase reverse, and the amazing Air mode, your recordings will have the clarity of a classic transformer-based ISA. And with a dual-port Dante card, you can expand your studio over Ethernet for more channels at higher sample rates, anywhere in your network, at lower latency and lower cost.
