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

Extended information

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.

Of course, the ADA8000 is a perfect expansion of BEHRINGER’s digital mixing console DDX3216, and lets you turn your DDX3216 into a full-fledged 32-channel console. 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.
