Used to record the M-nus ENTER. Ibiza nights by converting the audio of each DJing play that night to ethernet signal to route back to a main console for monitoring and recording. During this video from FocusRite, we see that the ENTER. event uses several RedNet4s stacked on top of each other.
In 2010, according to Richie Hawtin's site "m-nus", Riche donated a substantial amount of equipment used on his 2008 tour to a charity auction, "Bidding For Good". Amongst the donated equipment is one Pedal Controller unit.
Auction listing: https://www.biddingforgood.com/auction/item/Item.action?id=112588409
Used to record his ENTER. Ibiza nights with all the audio coming from different rooms via the Focusrite RedNet 4's and then successfully recording up to 24 channels of 96k/24 bit audio onto a high-speed USB stick.
From the article with Gearjunkies: "A JoeCo BlackBox Recorder fitted with a Dante interface card is his primary recorder, with Logic Pro and Cubase running on two separate computers as backups, which all connect to the Dante network using standard Cat-6 Ethernet cabling and Audinate's Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) drivers." A photo of how this looks at ENTER. can be spotted in the article: http://www.gearjunkies.com/view_image.php?id=16074
