8 A/D/A converters and mic preamps in one ADAT-ready unit.

The Behringer ADA8000 Ultragain Pro-8 A/D/A Converter is a state-of-the-art 8-channel A/D/A converter with built-in phantom-powered Invisible Microphone Preamplification (IMP) mic preamps. You can connect analog audio signals directly to a multitrack recorder or similar equipment via the integrated ADAT interface—and it takes up only one rackspace. It will even connect the digital signal of a multitracker via ADAT to the 8 line outputs of the ADA8000. Selectable signal conversion allows processing at 44.1kHz or 48kHz with 24-bit resolution. The ADAT I/O can be operated independently with an identical word clock signal.

OUTSTANDING UNIT FROM BEHRINGER

I have had other products from Behringer and was not impressed, even to the point I returned or sold them quickly. HOWEVER, with this unit, Behringer STRUCK GOLD!  This unit is crystal clear,  very quiet, and has totally transparent preamps.  This unit provides the ideal solution for those who still know there is NO BETTER CONNECTION to a PC than ADAT. Super quiet, super high input for connectivity with ZERO noise. Be certain to read the PDF Manual before buying so you will note that the front inputs do not crossover into the back side outputs.  This unit is almost made exclusively to get 8 Channels of ADAT input into a mixing console/PC and route 8 channels of ADAT output of the mixing console/PC into this unit, then have 8 various sources of analog input/output connect to the ADA8000.  That is it, nothing more.  The deal is this, no plugging and unplugging at the console/PC, and also digital connectivity so there is zero noise on the inputs/outputs. My recommendation to Sequencer software companies or Behringer; make PCI sound cards with ADAT to be sold with this as an option. Fire wire sucks; sound quality cannot be matched to ADAT and this unit keeps ADAT alive!  I will die if the day should occur these units are discontinued.  I have had mine for several years, no issues at all.  5 stars all the way for the ADA8000, you will not regret it.

I currently am using 2 ADA8000 with an m audio profire 2626  while running Pro Tools 9 and it works and sound great. The ADA8000 comes with both Adat I/O and it also can be used as a master or slave with my profire 2626 which is nice. I have my keyboards, piano, mv8800, and sound modules contacted to to the ADA8000 via mixer and my music sounds very clean and clear. I highly recommend the Adat Preamp for anyone on a studio budget it offers more feature than many other Adat Preamp. For instance the M audio Octane only has Adat output.

great product for the money...says what it does and does what it says. But beware folks this runs at a low sample rate 44 etc. not 96 like a digi max...which people can't seem to get that they are both running at a different rate and both work great at the rate they run at but don't expect one to do the others job....and mind you if you do run at 96 the digimax is has way better pre's

You get what you pay for with this unit, if your on a strict budget this unit will get you recording music. Don't expect to get the clarity and transparency of the higher priced pre amps.  Like I said you get what you pay for. All in all it is a good value for the buck. The price of these units has dropped substantially since I purchased mine to about half making it an even better value.

I posted below awhile ago, more with this product since then:  I added a second ADA8000 to get 24 digital tracks, worked great for our album, since then the older unit quit on me.  It was 3-4 years old, I agree it should have lasted longer then that I hope it isn't an issue again, but still for the price I am able to buy 2 of these in addition to my Firestudio for way cheaper.  I could buy 2-3 behringer ADA8000 for 1 firestudio.   Word clock is very important I have better luck using the ADAT LightPipe to sync them than the BNC cable.  still occassionally hack crackling on the behringer channels not the firestudio cant figure if its a bad optic cord or defect.  Reseting Cubase SX3 & G5 Mac seems to fix it temporarily.  Good way to get more cheap tracks.
