Behringer ada8000

[hotstuff]

Just got the behringer ada8000 ,recorded my drums with it and am very pleased with the results prefer the pres to my soundcraft sx20 and the digi 001 (these results are homerecording standard) the thing is after all the feedback on this product especially negative feedback i was skeptical about it but its not at all bad! I think behringer has actually got something here, a cheap quality product for the budget homestudio!

I have one too, and i agree. It is nice, especially for the price, but you "grow out of it" quite quickly. The pre's are very very quiet though...but the high-end is a little brittle.

I have used my ADA8000 for several recordings and have been happy with the results. I think the low end is a little weak but this may actually help clear up mixes. I have to really crank up the gain knobs to 80%+ to get a decent volume on my mics or guitar inputs but hey... I had noticed early on that when I had the gain cranked up to get high signal levels from mics, it appeared that it was compressing the signals a bit. This seems only be at very high gain levels though. Actually I see this as a great feature. Maybe it's just an internal non-clipping feature. At lower gain levels, I don't think it exhibits this trait. Has anyone else noticed this? Maybe it is just my unit but I'm keeping it. It has a great price/performance ratio. Next on my list is an FMR RNC. Merry Christmas! R

A freind recently got one, well 3 actually. the frist one was DOA. the second and thrid had no working channel 7. We finally sain what the *#@! and gave the thrid one a test run. we found it to be inferior to the 001 pres and converters, and given the QC issues and behringer rep, he took it back for an Alesis AI-8, whcih was a smart move IMHO.

Unrelated (except it is also Behreinger bashing) the same friend burchased 9 Behringer truth monitors, and none of them were even remotely matched.
