Feature:
One thing I wish it came with was light pipe cables. All inputs and gain knobs are in the front so be ready for the cables to be in your way to adjust gain.

Quality:
Very well made for what it is.

Value:
You won't find a better value.

Desirability:
I had to have it well 3 of them to record live bands big drum kits and not break the bank.

Sound:
Sound is great for this price range. No better value for this price. Of course the Focusrite and Avalon pre's do sound better. I have used 3 of these for live and in the studio. They sound great doing both jobs.

Ease of Use:
Straightforward usability.

Support:
Never needed them

Overall:
I will be satisfied with this product for as long as Behringer makes it. If really serious about vocals, invest in a nice single channel or channel strip pre for this. This is a great product and got me well on my way in my studio and mobile recording rig.

Feature:
For the money, you tell me who beats it?

Quality:
Awesome

Value:
Can not beat it.

Desirability:
it's not sexy but neither is the toyota prius, but it gets 60mpg, nuff said.

Sound:
The sound of this is great. I have owned this piece since the first day it came out. Have you wondered why they are always sold out. Never on ebay used? Come on people get with it. If you have good ears and know how to record and mix properly then this will work wonders. I have loved it since day one. Has been in my 002Rack for over 2 years now, never a problem ever.

Support:
I called Behringer for how to sync this my 002R slaving it in my digital chain for word clocking purposes. They where very helpful.

Overall:
Buy it now.

Feature:
Considering the size...how much more could you want?

Quality:
It works. i agree with a previous reviewer that it seems resistant to spikes...either it has amazing head room that the knob doesn't access, or there is a limiter circuit...listen to me, sounding like I know what I'm talking about:)...I recommend it.

Value:
I can't complain for the price. I bought it primarily for drums. I'll use my neves for the detailed recordings.

Desirability:
got a digi 001, 002? get it!

Sound:
The preamps are fine. I recorded a live cocert through another mackie board, using the inserts to send signal to my behringer and then into my digi002. I was surprised at the quality.

Support:
never had the need but the rumor is that they are horrible!

Feature:
its an ada converter great for the price

Quality:
its a behringer,,. but i put my trust in them, lets see what kind of life i can get out of it, only had it less than a month so far

Value:
great value

Sound:
i wanted to add an additional 8 channels of analog to my old trusty digi 001,. that exactly what i got,. just hook up the adat in and out to the digi 001 pci card,. and route you 9-16 channels to adat 1-8 and your done,., now i can use my old mackie 32 x 8 to mix which is fun now because i got so used to my digital board,.., converts the sound great,. dont really want to use the preamps but now i can record up to 16 tracks at once.,

Ease of Use:
easy as pie, just hook it up, didnt even have to switch anything

Sound:
Sounds decent. Definately needs to have phantom power separate for each channel but that would probably jack the price up. Other than that, it works great.

Feature:
Typical Behringer feature-richness.

Quality:
Not bad. The principal moving parts, the gain knobs, are a bit flimsy, have excessive play, and are non-uniform in stiffness, suggesting some problems with the quality of build and/or materials. The signal LEDs do a funky little dance when phantom power is switched on or off; this makes me wonder a bit about the quality and consistency of the electronics. The connectors seem okay, although I don't know how many plug/unplug cycles they could stand. Overall, not something I would be likely to take on the road. Pity, since it's not really suitable for critical applications in a studio either.

Value:
For what it does, the price is pretty good. If price is more important than high fidelity and long life, this might be a good choice.

Desirability:
Behringer doesn't generally go for sex appeal. This item is in that "get the job done cheaply" category.

Sound:
This is basically two units in one. On the input side, it's quite usable. The preamps are nothing to write home about, but are adequate for stage use. It might also be useful in a studio setting if you need a bunch of pres for miking, say a drum kit, and quantity is more important than quality. You probably don't want to run your vocal mic through these. On the output side, again nothing stellar, but adequate for non-critical applications. My particular unit exhibits some really nasty high-frequency aliasing that renders it completely unsuitable for critical listening. I don't know if this is a design problem, or if it's specific to my unit. [If you have one of these, try running pure sine waves through it at, say, 10k, 12.5k, 16k and 20k. If your unit has the problem that mine does, this test will make it very obvious.] I have this unit connected to the ADAT in/out on a Creamware SCOPE card. A/Bing the Behringer against the AD/DA converters on the SCOPE's line in/out makes it pretty clear that Creamware's converters are vastly superior. So much so that I don't really use the Behringer unless I'm really tight on I/O.

Ease of Use:
Pretty straightforward -- not a lot you can do wrong. It would be nice if the +4 and -10 positions on the gain controls were detented, or if there were some other way (pushbutton or whatever) to lock it to those settings. It loses some points for the all-or-none phantom power, as well as for the fact that the phantom switch could easily be pressed accidentally by a fat finger on its way to the power switch.

Support:
No experience.

Overall:
The bottom line is that I basically don't use it. I bought it for studio use, basically to take advantage of the ADAT I/O on my sound card and move the AD/DA conversion out of the noisy computer. Unfortunately, the degradation of sound quality relative to the analog IOs on my high-end sound card is just a bit too severe to be useful to me.

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 . . .
