Impressive in every way
There's not a company I like nor trust any less than Avid. I hate their support, I hate their overhyped software, there's nothing good I can say about Avid... but this isn't really an Avid product. Digital Audio Denmark, who's renown for their top tier quality ADC/DAC, did a wonderful job creating these. The sound quality is flawless and the features are plentiful. We got ours to use as a Dolby Atmos monitor controller for Steinberg Nuendo over Dante with a little help from the D.A.D. M.O.M. remote (sold separately) and it does its job well and then some.

The Red 16Line can be paired with a Focusrite Pro RedNet R1 remote for about 1/3 less money. We had the Red 16Line with R1 remote and decided to send it back and get the MTRX Studio and M.O.M. remote but we were working with a rather large budget and could afford to shell out for every little advantage over our competition. Otherwise, the RedNet alternative is a perfectly fine combination.
