Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this to add 8 channels of recording to my Tascam FW1804 (which has 8 ADAT in along with 8 analoge). Works great as long as you make sure you have everything synced correctly. I've read reviews from others saying it "pops" or whatever. Just make sure you have your audio interfaced synced to the ADA8000 and make sure the sampling rate is the same and you will have no problems.
The 2 complaints I have is that the gain knobs are notched so they don't allow for discrete movement. The other is that the gain suddenly goes from a very hot setting to maxed out distortion in one "click". I would recommend using a mixer to trim the levels and run the mixer's insert line to the line in on the ADA8000 to give you more discrete control.
The tone seems okay but I usually use the ADA8000 channels on drums only saving my better preamps for drum overheads and other full spectrum instruments.
I have only taken this thing out on about 5 remote recording sessions so not sure how "tough" it is, but so far, so good.
For $199, you can't beat it as an inexpensive way to add 8 channels to a recording setup.
FYI, my remote setup is....
HP nc6400 laptop with 4 g Ram Dual Core 2.2 gHz running Sonar 8 Producer Edition with only 1 ms latency! $250 used
Tascam FW1804 Fire wire audio/MIDI interface. $375 discontinued price
Alesis 12R mixer (wired to FW1804 analoge inputs) $50 used
Behringer ADA8000 (ADAT out to FW1804 ADAT in) FW1804 is synced to ADA8000 at 44.1khz $170 floor model from music store
$845 for the basic hardware to get started with a 16 channel analoge to digital recording setup! Just add mics!
