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.Automatically translated

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 jobAutomatically translated

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

Questions frequently asked
Does the ADA8200 allow adding 8 mic inputs to an ADAT interface?
The 8 mic/line inputs are sent to the ADAT output to expand an interface with an ADAT input. The built-in Midas preamps provide simultaneous recording on eight channels.
Is +48 V phantom power available on the ADA8200?
Switchable +48 V phantom power is provided for the use of condenser microphones and active DI boxes. All eight preamps have sufficient gain range suitable for multi-mic recording.
What sample rates and synchronization options does the ADA8200 support?
The 24-bit Cirrus Logic converters operate at 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. The specified frequency range extends from 10 Hz to 24 kHz at 48 kHz. Synchronization can be done via the ADAT stream or the Word Clock BNC input.
Can the line outputs be used for a headphone mix with the incoming ADAT signal?
The incoming ADAT stream can be routed to the line outputs to feed headphone mixes, stems, or reamping applications.
Behringer ADA8200 Ultragain: what rack format does it have?
Its 19-inch chassis occupies one rack unit, or 1U. The built-in universal "Planet Earth" power supply is integrated in a rackmount format.
