High-End 8-Channel A/D & D/A Converter with Premium Mic Preamplifiers and ADAT® Interface

Show full description »

The ADA8000 is a state-of-the art 8-channel A/D and D/A converter with 8 built-in IMP microphone preamplifiers. This ultra-compact 19" unit gives you the opportunity to connect analog audio signals directly to a multitrack recorder or similar equipment via the integrated ADAT® interface—and needs only one rack space for this purpose! In return, you can even connect the digital signal of a multitracker via ADAT® to the eight analog line outputs of your ADA8000.

DANALOG DDX3216's performance can be augmented using the ADA8000 option, increasing the number of mic preamps to 20. Signal conversion can be processed at 44.1 or 48 kHz with 24-bit resolution. The ADAT® inputs and outputs can be operated independently as long as there is an identical wordclock signal. The integrated A/D and D/A converters ensure optimal signal conversion without any distortion or signal deterioration.

9/10

ada8000

— Nick Salmon December 17, 2007

I was very satisfied with the ADA8000 which I use in conjuction with a Presonus Firestudio interface. Installation was effortless, I simply connected up the two ADAT cables, power and selected the slave clock setting. That was it. The clock sync'd perfectly and I've had no problems in that department, using the ADAT as the sync source. The sound quality is excellent also, very transparent- in my setup I feed in 8 line levels only, so I can't comment on the mic preamps. I use my audio interface for miking.
The only drawback I would comment on is that the unit would not function very well as a standalone mic pre-amp. This is because the mic-preamps are routed directly to the ADAT out. It would be great if they could be routed to the analogue outputs. I would imagine an ADAT cable could connect the outputs to the inputs, but this would introduce an unnecessary analogue-digital-analogue conversion. Small gripe and it doesn't really affect me.
Build quality is great, very solid. Overall, very happy with my purchase.

ease of use

— Tom Gascoigne September 3, 2007

I know the Behringer stuff is generally the cheaper end of the market, but for what it does, you can't knock this piece of kit. It's plug'n play, simple as that. If you're not too concerned about some (very minimal) hiss in the background when driving the unit at volume, then it's great. I use it for miking-up the drums. It's just the job for that. But, hey, you get 8 extra inputs using ADAT which simplifies matters even more. It's one of the Behringer units I suggest is a must. You know it makes sense at the price.

Price Matching

Dolphin Music brings you the best music gear at the best price. We are committed to superior customer service and have extensive product knowledge. However, in today’s market we may not always be aware of all the price fluctuations of the products we sell. So, we offer competitive price matching.

Please fill in the following form to request a price match.

What prices we will match?

We will compare prices for new, direct from manufacturer items, excluding any add-ons, options, or other special features which may affect price.

The item must be new and must be the exact same make and model (ie, the same size, version, etc.).

Since our postage charges are lower than most of the shops, the comparison price must be a "delivered cost" to the consumer.

If we are unable to verify the previous condition, we will notify you that we require additional information to verify the Price Match request. Our goal is to make this policy simple and hassle-free. We are committed to responding to your requests quickly.

The price you have found must be the Internet Retailer's regular, advertised price for a current and available item. The price you found cannot be a closeout, discontinued, blemished, year-end, inventory reduction, or any other type of advertised sale price.

Price Matching requests may not be combined with any other promotional discounts, specials or other price incentives.

Prices and price sources you have found which do not meet the above criteria or in which incomplete or inaccurate information is provided to us, will not be approved for our Price Match.
