The ADA8000 is a state of the art 8 channel AD and DA converter with 8 built in IMP microphone preamplifiers. This ultra compact 19 in. unit gives you the opportunity to connect analog audio signals directly to a multi track recorder or similar equipment via the integrated ADAT interface and needs only 1 rack space for this purpose! In return, you can even connect the digital signal of a multi tracker via ADAT to the 8 analog line outputs of your ADA8000. Feature:
I was primairely looking for a 8channel pre-amp with Adat-out. That's what is does. Not a single optical-cable included . . But I got them for free so I'm not complaining.
Quality:
Finish and style is okay (typical behringer) but sturdy enough. Those huming channels are a real bummer, though. Unit is only 1,5 years old.
Value:
If nothing would have buckled it would have read 10. But channel 2 and 4 . . .
Sound:
Sound quality was okay, still a differente between the MOTU828 pre-amps and the ADA8000. But lately two of the 8 channels hum even when there is nothing connected to it. Never tried the outputs.
Support:
Haven't tried support yet.
Overall:
Whenever I have some money left I'll go for a Focusrite, Macky or presonus 8-preamp adat unit. I was warned on forehand and sadly enough the warning was justified . . .
