Behringer ADA8200 Ultragain Digital Audiophile 8 In/8 Out ADAT Audio Interface with MIDAS Mic Preamplifiers

Nice

I was looking for a Preamp for a simple purpose to increase inputs for recording drums. For a while considered pricier Preamps and finally settled on this due to the price. I did not expect much from this unit but was really surprised by the sound quality. 2 things i did like about this unit 1. there is no control on which inputs i can turn on the phantom power. Its either all the inputs or no inputs. 2. No pad button for the inputs Although considering the price you get 8 good sounding preamps so that is a win win.

ok

Aunque a muchos no les agrada la marca, cumple con su función, sobre todo la lineas activadas con el phantom, pues esto le da un realce de potencia sin subir a tome la ganancia.

Den funkar klockrent!

Precio calidad es perfecto. Una manera barata de ampliar las entradas de tu tarjeta de sonido, siempre y cuando tenga entrada óptica.

Super, pour le prix la qualité est au rendez-vous. Je recommande sans hésiter.

I'm a “one man band” Multi-Instrumentalist operating out of a well-equipped home studio, playing and recording each instrument individually. It's not unusual that one of my productions consumes 25 tracks or more. My previous recorder was a standalone Tascam DP-32SD. Although this is a great unit for home studio starters, following the actual recording I had to export tracks, transfer them to my PC via USB, then mix/master the completed song using my Windows-based DAW. While this worked okay, the process was getting to be quite the tedious hassle, not to mention the fact that REAPER (in my opinion, the best DAW on the planet) has so much more recording function than the Tascam standalone it's almost unbelievable. That said, I decided to purchase a Behringer UMC1820 and give direct-to-DAW recording a try. Man, the difference was like night and day, especially sampling at 48kHz/24-bit. Plus, all of the required post-processing work I previously discussed is now a thing of the past. The only remaining problem was, I use 8 drum microphones. This required cabling my mixer to one of the UMC1820 inputs to accommodate the 8th sub-kick drum microphone, and all other instruments. So, I took it a step further, purchased a Behringer ADA8200 and attached it to the UMC1820 as a slave using Toslink fiber cables, providing me with 8 additional inputs. I should note that Windows and REAPER immediately picked both interfaces up without the need to install any additional drivers whatsoever... They're truly plug-and-play. To avoid being redundant and going over all the features of these two excellent interfaces which are already listed on their product pages, I think it would be much more beneficial to continue discussing my personal experience with them, along with the end results. This configuration has allowed me to totally dedicate the UMC1820 to my drum microphones, and use the ADA8200 for all other instruments. I was also able to keep my mixer involved by cabling it to one of the inputs on the latter interface. I then topped the whole thing off by mounting them both in a “Procraft 2U 9" Deep Equipment Rack”. This is one super-high quality rack, and an incredible value: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CDG8QLI/ The bottom line: Between these two interfaces I now have 16 MIDAS pre-amplified XLR/TRS inputs fed directly into my PC with all controls at my fingertips, sitting directly under my DAW displays (see photo). Most importantly, I'm able to take full advantage of REAPER's myriad of recording functions, which completely blow the Tascam standalone recorder away. If you're thinking about using direct-to-DAW recording, this combination absolutely can't be beat for the money. The only regret I have is, I'm kicking myself in the butt for not going to A/D interfaces long ago. Look up my latest song “May You Never” on SoundClick, and judge the sound for yourself. In closing, these Behringer interfaces have exceeded my wildest expectations. I can certainly say without hesitation they're deserving of my highest recommendation, and if I was able would rate them both at 10 stars in a heartbeat.
