Description

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.

At the heart of the ADA8000 is its preamp section with eight ultra low-noise IMP “Invisible” Mic Preamps. Both 44.1 and 48kHz sample rate processing and extensive connections turn the ADA8000 into a flexible recording system control center for any studio: eight analog inputs and outputs plus an optical ADAT® IN/OUT interface that can be routed to each of the line outputs guarantee professional flexibility. All mic/line inputs can be routed to the ADAT® output. Additionally, external sample rate synchronization is possible via wordclock or the ADAT® input. Eight audio channels with combined XLR and ¼’ inputs are available at the front facilitating flexible configuration of recording sessions without having to rewire an existing setup. Balanced inputs and outputs guarantee low-noise signal management. The intensity of all input channels can be adjusted at the rack module, and can be muted or directly forwarded to an output. This allows the ADA8000 to be used as stand-alone preamplifier and audio mixer for a plethora of applications.
