Overview

Powerfully advanced studio interface with two exceptional preamps and up to 64 I/O connectivity.

The Red 16Line is a high-quality audio interface with two built-in preamps and up to 64 inputs and 64 outputs via 2 Thunderbolt and DigiLink ports. Its various analog and digital connectivity allow users to output audio in a multitude of ways via S/PDIF, ADAT optical and DB25. It features high-performance, low-latency A-D/D-A conversion, Red Evolution mic preamps, ultra-low roundtrip latency and expansion over Dante for networked audio.

Since Red 16Line provides both DigiLink and Thunderbolt connections, it's now easier than ever to switch from Pro Tools HD to a second DAW, without the need to reconfigure option cards in the interface. Simply change the host mode either in the remote-control software or on the device front panel and change DAWs in seconds.

With dual-port Dante connectivity, you will be able to expand your studio over Ethernet for more channels at higher sample rates, anywhere in your network, at lower latency and lower cost.

Comes with free Brainworx bx_console_Focusrite SC plug-in
This awesome plug-in recreates the analog signal paths of Focusrite’s revered ISA 110 and ISA 130 modules, which were a part of the Focusrite Studio Console. Designed and coded by the DSP geniuses at acclaimed software house Brainworx, the new bx_console Focusrite VST/AU/AAX plug-in for Mac and PC faithfully captures the sound, feel and styling of the original iconic hardware.

If you purchased any Red, RedNet or ISA solution from January 2020 on, you will have the plug-in available in your Focusrite account as long as you’ve registered your product.

NOTE: The Focusrite Red range of Thunderbolt, Pro Tools | HD and Dante interfaces are now compatible with PCs running Windows 10 with the appropriate Thunderbolt 3 hardware.
