Digital Inputs
ADAT
ADAT inputs 1 and 2 are accessed via the rear panel connectors. Signals
will be available if the source is connected and locked.
Each In/Out connection provides:
• 8ch at 44.1 / 48 kHz
• 4ch at 88.2 / 96 kHz (SMUX)
• 2ch at 176.4 / 192 kHz (SMUXII)
S/PDIF
A two-channel S/PDIF I/O connection is accessed via the RCA/Phono connectors
on the rear panel.
Loopback Input
The Red 4Pre’s virtual loopback inputs allow you to record any mix within
Focusrite Control back into your DAW. This could be the audio output of
another software application, or an entire monitor mix within Focusrite
Control including analogue or digital inputs mixed with any playback
signals you wish to capture in your DAW.
Loopback uses the Red 4Pre’s virtual inputs, which have no physical
connectors on the hardware interface itself, but may be selected in the
DAW as signal sources for recording in the same way as any other.
For Focusrite Control information, see page 20.
Dante Connection
Two switched RJ45 connectors for the Dante network are located on the rear
panel. Use a standard Cat 5e or Cat 6 network cable to connect to the Dante
audio network.
Incorporated into each socket are LEDs which illuminate to indicate a valid
network connection and network activity.
Note that the Dante connectors are congured for a single, switched network – they cannot be used as primary and
secondary ports on a redundant network.
For more information on Dante networks, see Audinate’s website: http://www.audinate.com/
