The result: one interface handles a Pro Tools HDX session in the morning and a quick Ableton or Logic setup in the afternoon, while Dante adds channels exactly where standard analogue cabling wouldn't reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRed Evolution preamps with Air mode for vocals and guitars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight digitally-controlled Red Evolution preamps deliver 63 dB of gain at -129 dBu EIN, keeping the noise floor well below quiet acoustic sources even at high gain settings. Air mode recreates the character of transformer-based preamps from the ISA range — it shifts input impedance to 2.1 kOhms and adds a subtle high-mid lift in the analogue path, ahead of A\/D conversion, giving vocals and acoustic guitar more presence without reaching for EQ in the DAW. High-headroom instrument inputs on the front panel stay accessible even when the unit is rack-mounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e64 inputs\/64 outputs, including 16 analogue inputs and 18 analogue outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Red Evolution preamps with Air mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24-bit\/192 kHz conversion, parallel path summing, up to 121 dB dynamic range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Thunderbolt 2 ports, 1.67 ms round-trip latency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual DigiLink connectors for Pro Tools|HD and Avid interfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Dante networking, up to 32 additional channels over Ethernet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo ADAT ports for a further 16 channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHost Mode to switch between Pro Tools|HD and a Thunderbolt DAW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour LCD displays and front-panel instrument inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Focusrite Control, the Red plug-in suite, and the Softube Time and Tone bundle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannels: 64 inputs\/64 outputs total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalogue I\/O: 16 inputs, 18 outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreamps: 8x Red Evolution, 63 dB gain, -129 dBu EIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConversion: 24-bit\/192 kHz, 118 dB (A-D) \/ 121 dB (D-A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: below 0.0009%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz-35 kHz ±0.25 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer connectivity: 2x Thunderbolt 2, 2x DigiLink (Pro Tools|HD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork: Dante, 2x RJ45 (Cat 5e or above), up to 32 channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion: 2x ADAT (16 channels)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftware: Focusrite Control, RedNet Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FOCUSRITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246847709521,"sku":"53497","price":3952.62,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/FocusriteRED8Pre1.jpg?v=1783947154","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/en-fr\/products\/focusrite-red-8pre","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
