Very good pair with UMC1820

I bought it to expand UMC1820 to it's I/O limits and it worked fine.

Great improvement from the previous model

I'm super satisfied with this preamp, I needed 8x8 clear channels, with no fuzz or coloration of any sort.

Compared to the previous ADA8000 this model has better preampss for a cleaner sound, and since I like to put analog simulations/saturations in my DAW this is perfect.

The only drawback is that you can't mux the ADAT channels and go to higher sample rates such as 88.2/96 etc.

Other than that, go get one, it's the best way to get extra 8x8 channels out there!

Perfect

A great ADAT to expand your inputs/outputs. The only thing I would like on this would be a little lock in the pots in the middle position to help when using channels as stereo pairs.

Unbeatable value.

Quite adequate for a home studio, I use it for some outboard gear.

Noise level is low, especially as I use at line level for sends and returns to outboard gear.

I don't use the mic pres so can't really comment. For pres I've an LA 610 Mk 2 or I use the Antelope pres on my interface (Discrete 4) The Behrenger unit gave me the extra inputs I needed at an incredible price.

Can not get better that this for the pirce.

One cannot get a better preamp for the price.

They do more than enough of a job with my babyface.

I mainly record a solo classical music with this preamp, because I am a student and cannot afford RMEs or anything similar.

If I need to work with ADAT anyways, this preamp does the job perfectly.

Moreover I am not so stressed with break downs, because I can just buy another one of the same! I always compare the sound quality to available professional recordings (CDs from Deutschgramophone for example) and since I am using the inputs of RME Babyface for the main mic system, one can not really hear the difference as long as one uses high quality microphone.

Be honest and consider if one really needs preamps around a thousand euro, if one cannot afford.

Just start with this affordable preamp. They do their job perfectly.

I'm pretty happy with the preamp and I practically both it as an extension of my Sound card. Does the job pretty well.

Cost-effective product

I bought it to extend the audio interface. Sound quality costs money, but this product keeps costs to a minimum and gives you good input. Recommended equipment for beginners to veterans.

Amazing product. You cannot go wrong with the quality build, functionality, and the price. Worth every bit of the price and more.

GREAT EXPANSION UNIT FOR UMC1820

Perfectly compliments the UMC1820 - in fact they are built to work together and that's exactly what they do!

great build and solid features.

Great value

Very good converter for the price. I love the output routing capabilities which more expensive brands don't have. The sound is fine as well. Cant be beaten for the price, especially if all you need is a device for output to monitors and headphone mixes.

I'm using it with my Behringer UMC1820 and it's perfect!

If you're using a quality audio interface, like RME let's say, then you'll get the same quality from your instruments through this one (except for the case of microphones - you also get phantom power for them).

The build quality is really nice. It feels solid and also looks nice with that red. It's almost double in length compared to my UMC 1820 audio interface, but it's not a problem in my current setup (they are installed in a Millenium rack).

All the inputs are located on the front, might be a good thing for you, or it might clutter a bit your setup.

The knobs feels a bit cheap for me, but they are fine overall.

Hyvä ostos kaikinpuolin

Vaikka speksit ei ymmärrettävästi yllä selkeästi kalliimpien tuotteiden tasolle niin voin rehellisesti sanoa että olen tähän tuotteeseen todella tyytyväinen. Hinta/laatu suhde on enemmän kuin kohdillaan ADA8200 kohdalla. Kuvien perusteella ajattelin että punainen väri olisi ollut jotenkin ruma mutta kyllä se melko tyylikkäältä näyttää omassa räkissä. Käytän ulostuloja summaamaan DAW:in BUS kanavat analogimikserillä ja sisääntuloilla nauhoittelen syntikoita. Omat korvat eivät huomanneet mitään eroa verrattuna toisen valmistajan tuotteeseen jossa oli paremmat speksit. On niin hyvin toimiva ja muutenkin laadukkaan oloinen tuote että todennäköisesti tilaan näitä lisää tulevaisuudessa. Thumbs up! :D

Works perfectly with my Saffire Pro 40

Great to have another 8 inputs into my focusrite Saffire Pro 40 and works seamlessly. Cannot fault it.

Great for adding inputs

It is great for adding inputs, I am using it in combination with. my Universal Audio Apollo Twin.

It was very easy to setup as well.

Cons (Nothing what implies on its performance) - Behringer could have added some 'marks' behind the gain knobs so it would be easier to find / mark the settings.

I needed 32 inputs on my DAW, so I bought 2 of these devices, together with 2x UMC1830 (connected via optical cable, using ADAT)

I'm using a mac, and I didn't need to install anything to get this setup "up and running", just connected it, and made an aggrate device, that was all. I can happely record multiple synts, guitars,trumpet,violin,saxophone etc ... at the same time, with a minimum of lag !
