From the ADA8000 to the ADA8200: An Expected Evolution


A direct successor to the ADA8000, the ULTRAGAIN ADA8200 modernizes a much-praised formula by incorporating 24-bit Cirrus Logic converters and Midas preamps. This revision elevates capture quality and conversion fidelity while retaining the 1U format, 8x8 ADAT stream, and ease of integration that made the previous model successful.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?


Ideal for producers, engineers, and studios needing to quickly add 8 mic inputs or 8 additional outputs to an ADAT-equipped sound card. In live recording, it serves as a compact stagebox. In the studio, it expands channel count for drums, ensembles, or multi-mic setups, and provides dedicated outputs for headphone mixes or reamping.

Key Features That Make a Difference



Musical Midas Preamps


The 8 preamps offer balanced gain headroom and low noise, with switchable +48 V phantom power for condenser mics and active DI boxes. The result is precise capture, ready for mixing.

24-Bit Conversion and Stable Clock


Cirrus Logic converters ensure consistent transient response and low-frequency reproduction. Synchronization is possible via ADAT or Wordclock for reliable multi-device setups at 44.1/48 kHz.

Bidirectional ADAT Routing


All mic/line inputs can be routed to the ADAT output, while the incoming ADAT stream can be routed to line outputs for monitoring, stems, or headphone mixes. The ADAT I/O can operate independently with a common clock.

Rack Format and Universal Power Supply


Its 19-inch 1U chassis fits anywhere. The internal universal "Planet Earth" power supply guarantees stability and reliability on tour or in the studio.

    For now, no problem synchronizing the rack to my Apollo x4 sound card. I use it for releases only, live, it works directly and very well.

    Looking at it over time, I was told that it was not very solid. Who lives will see. I don't want to be pessimistic. In any case, I did not have more expensive means.

    Great product. very good pre-amp. the optical system was a choice because I already had a sound card with optical input/output. Really not disappointed. For its price and its quality I put the maximum score. Please avoid comparing with 4000 euro products, it's becoming cumbersome to read this nonsense. thank you.

    Good product considering the price, practical 8-channel Adat extension and of decent audio quality, it is a shame not to be able to use the lines out in direct monitoring of the corresponding inputs.

    For the price nothing to say it does the job

    Good little preamp, which still packs in. Given the price, we can't complain, it's clean in Adat, used with an RME HDSPE 96/52. And Woodbrass always at the top for order tracking

    I had a bit of doubt about the quality of the converters but it does live and studio recording
