macOS compatibility information for other Focusrite products (Scarlett, Clarett, Vocaster) can be found here.
This article covers the compatibility of Focusrite Red and RedNet products with versions of macOS. Select your version below to see details. Information can be found for both Apple silicon (M-series) and Intel Macs.
If you're unsure which macOS or which processor you have, please see Mac computers with Apple silicon.
Our testing was conducted using various beta versions, the 'Golden Master' and ultimately the release version of each macOS version.
Products where compatibility is in ORANGE are cases where a product was either not available during the testing phase of this operating system (we typically test on the two previous two operating system builds ahead of a product's release), or had been discontinued and no longer tested upon the operating system's release.
Please check that all other software and hardware you use to make music is also compatible before updating; never update your operating system during the middle of a time-critical project. Based on past experience, we would generally advise waiting for a few months after the release of any new operating system before updating, in case there are any initial issues that need to be patched.
If you receive an error message stating System Extension Blocked after installing Focusrite software or drivers then please see this article: My interface isn't appearing on my Mac.
Please note, we have tested our products independently of Audinate's Dante Controller and Dante Virtual Soundcard applications — you can check the compatibility status of these pieces of software on the Audinate website.
If you are not getting signal into audio software but playback seems fine, please see this article: I can't record or input audio on my Mac (macOS microphone access).
