Product Description

Need to convert a digital signal to analog, or vice versa? The Behringer ADA8000 digital converter is sublimely easy to operate and fits neatly into a single rack space. The integrated A/D and D/A converters ensure optimal signal conversion without any distortion or signal deterioration.

The Basics

The ADA8000 is a state-of-the-art 8-channel A/D (Analog to Digital) and D/A converter with 8 built-in IMP (Invisible Microphone Preamps) microphone preamps. You can plug in your favorite mics (ADA8000 even includes +48V phantom power for studio-grade condenser mics) and record directly to your multi-track or computer-based recorder, thanks to the built-in ADAT(r) interface. Conversely, the ADA8000 can also be used to convert digital signals, from soundcards and other multi-track devices, back into analog audio.

The Technical Stuff

Signal conversion in the ADA8000 can take place at either 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. Frequency range is an ultra-wide 10 Hz to 21 kHz at a 48 kHz sampling rate.

The Ins and Outs

Connections are provided for balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS, as well as unbalanced 1/4" TS inputs. Line Out connectors provide either balanced or unbalanced connectivity. Digital I/O is handled via a TOSLINK optical socket, which supports up to eight (8) channels of data.

Value

You can trust all your digital ones and zeros to the ADA8000, at an ultra-affordable price that will amaze you. Stop by your authorized Behringer dealer today and join the digital revolution.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (72 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "perfect solution for my multi input problem"
Sound: sound is clean & flat. doesnt colour the tone positive or negatively. i'm sure more expesive pre's have more oomph to them, but for the price this thing is great. Feature: simple. line ins, line outs, volume, phantom power & the adat connections. it's a great interface for my creamware card. i can route audio pretty much any way i want with this thing. Ease of Use: it's pretty basic. all controls are there. i have yet to play with the word clock. be sure to send adat light pipe both ways & slave it. Quality: the only thing that bugs me is the volume knobs. they dont quite line up uniformly so if you are trying to boost in stereo (say 2 mics or a stereo in), you have to check levels elsewhere or trust your ear. otherwise it's solid. not top of the line by any means but anyone shopping in this price range should expect that. Value: good bang for the buck if you want multiple inputs & have an adat friendly soundcard. Manufacturer Support: havent dealt with behringer yet. so far no trouble with any of their gear. The Wow Factor: perfect solution for my multi input problem. i wanted to use my creamware card to capture jams. drums, guitar, keys, ext... with 2 of these connected to the adat pipes on my creamware card i capture 16 channels of audio at once. straight to the hard drive. it's a clutch position in my setup. Overall: only reason i can see to replace this is if i start recording past it's 48khz limit which seems kinda pointless at the moment. i'd like to pick up a higher end mic pre for vocals & lead instruments & keep this for drums & synths.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!"
Sound: Clean, clear, pure. Far, far better than my Behringer low-end mixer. Feature: I would give this a 10, but there is one thing I think it is lacking. There's no switch to connect the inputs to the outputs for use as an analog mic pre. The Behringer is basically two units in one. The mic preamps on the front convert into optical digital TOSlink OUTPUT. The XLR outputs on the back carry whatever signal is coming in from the TOSlink INPUT. The circuits are separate. I bought this primarily for use as a live mic pre-amp (8-in, 8-out). Without a TOSlink cable to slave the INPUT to the OUTPUT, it doesn't work as a live mic pre-amp. Fortunately, I had an optical cable with me when I bought it, because I bought it the day of a concert I was running sound for. Not a big deal, since it's CHEAP, sounds GREAT, and wasn't intended as a plain 8-in/8-out mic pre. On that note, it's a terrific mic preamp for running live sound. Quality: Well constructed, solid metal. As road-worthy as the rest of my rack-mount gear. Value: Look at the competition. Hands down, this is an unbeatable value. None of the 8 input mic pre's in this price range provide ADAT optical in's/out's. Use this for live sound, take it home and use it for digital recording. I like it!! Manufacturer Support: Never had to deal with them, but have a friend who has. He's very happy. He had a bad V-Amp, they sent him the rackmount pro version as a replacement which he was thrilled about. Have used Behringer products for about 7 years now. Never had problems with mine. The Wow Factor: It's aesthetic in a utilitarian cold-steel-kind-of-way. Clean lines, simple layout, brushed metal. Looks solid, feels solid, inspires confidence. It's not "sexy" like Focusrite or Avalon mic pre's, but it's not competing with that high-end market. Overall: I like it cause it was a very good price, it saved my butt a few hours after buying it (live concert needed mic pre), works as advertised, and it does two things for me. (1) Live analog/analog mic pre for live sound. (2) Analog/digital 8-channel conversion for recording studio.
