128x128 channels at 24-bit/192kHz with ultra-low latency — perfect for large sessions and immersive formats like Dolby Atmos.

Today, Focusrite announces RedNet TNX, a flexible Dante® interface that delivers high channel counts, ultra-low latency, and powerful audio workflows to any PC or Mac with an available Thunderbolt™ connection. The release marks the first new offering in Focusrite’s RedNet range since RedNet PCIeNX in 2023. The new RedNet TNX, however, enables users to pass audio via Dante to and from a computer without having to install a PCIe card.

Designed to handle large recording sessions and post-production work including Dolby Atmos and other immersive formats, RedNet TNX’s combination of ultra-low round-trip latency, effortless setup, and scalable flexibility makes it ideal for recording studios, schools, venues, and broadcast facilities. Out of the box, the new interface offers 128×128 channels of low-latency, 24-bit/192kHz audio, with the optional Dante Ready™ payable upgrade expanding RedNet TNX to 256×256 channels at 24-bit/96 kHz.

“This release marks the latest chapter in Focusrite’s four-decade-long history of pro audio innovation,” says Jack Cole, Product Manager: Professional Solutions & Drivers.

RedNet TNX’s simple, single-cable connectivity makes it particularly valuable for high-channel-count workflows involving multiple users. Visiting engineers can easily patch into a Dante network, student laptops can be hot-swapped, and FOH or playback engineers can integrate desktop or laptop systems into live rigs with minimal setup. RedNet TNX also integrates with RedNet Control, allowing unified control and monitoring of all RedNet devices via a single application.

Its built-in network interface supports both audio and control data through one rear-panel Ethernet connection, while a second RJ-45 port enables switched or redundant modes for added flexibility and resilience in mission-critical environments.

For broadcasters, RedNet TNX offers support for Dante Domain Manager and the latest AoIP standards, including AES67, as well as compliance for SMPTE ST 2110 (DDM required). And thanks to its compact form factor, it’s portable enough to use on location.
