Thoughts on the Behringer ADA8200 Ultragain
Anonymous 25.07.2014
I ordered the ADA8200 to expand the I/O on my Motu 828 MkII as I have 5 synths that I like to use and don't want the hassle of plugging and unplugging them. Also it is a good way of future proofing my project studio as my needs change.

The unit itself is one rack unit high and seems sturdily made and looks good in the rack. Hooking it up to the Motu was easy, but the documentation supplied is a bit thin in content. I ended up following the setup done by the reviewer in Sound on Sound magazine, which is where I had read about the unit in the first place.

I am only using the line inputs so I can't comment on the Midas mic pre-amps but it's nice to have these for when/if I record some vox in the future. I would have preferred for there to be fewer mic inputs in order to make space round the back of the unit for the inputs. These are all located in the front with only the outputs located on the rear panel. This means I need to use a patch bay and cables in order to keep the clutter of leads at the back. I'm sure It couldn't push the cost up too far to move to a 2U unit and tuck everything away at the back, perhaps with a couple of inputs at the front as other manufacturers seems to do.

Since I've had the unit I have to confess that I have barely noticed it. I set the input levels of the analogue inputs and accessed the sound through the Motu software or as inputs 9-16 in my DAW. This is the highest recommendation I can give really - the ADA8200 just works without any fuss.

Cheap but effective interface
Lydbølge 05.08.2022
I bought this to add to a UAD system to get an extra 8 channels into my UAD system via ADAT ports. It does just that! The midas pre amps work fine and it integrates well with my system. Needs a word clock connection from the main UAD interface.

Very good
Safwat 25.12.2022
I have a home studio, and I needed to expand my inputs, I have lots of gear and I am too lazy to plug and unplug, so I got this device for expanding my inputs. It is good but if you don’t have good earthing connection the you will have pops each time you switch on or off. Big one not a jock. It is so strong that it engages my amplifiers safely relays. Also it doesn’t have enough gain. But I found a solution for all that. My advice, get the Behringer DI with it. Together they give you super powerful great results.

Has worked flawlessly
Gary H 08.11.2021
I've used this as the ADAT master through a Scarlett 18i20 and everything works perfectly on Windows in Ableton. All the recordings seem absolutely fine, no hiss, clicks or any imperfections whatsoever. The only thing I would say is due to it being a budget unit, it could be possible that the gain of each channel is not uniform. However, no matter what unit you are using, your gain staging approach should rule this out as a problem

Handy add on for 16 channels
mbolge 09.01.2020
I got this to use as an ADAT add on to my UMC1820, giving an overall 16 channel recording interface. It all worked together with minimum effort in set and it sounds good. There is a couple of things that I'm not totally happy with, but can live with.
There is no pad on the channels, a pad for each channel would have been great. The other is phantom power. Phantom power is all channel or none, would like to have the option to not have phantom on everything at once. Also the LED for Phantom power, for some strange reason this is Green when Phantom Power is Off and it is Red when Phantom Power is On.
Other than that I would have given it 5 stars. Dont forget to get two ADAT cables when ordering this as an add on.

Very good expansion for recording drums
DrummerCaetano 21.11.2021
This added 8 more channels to my Focusrite Interphase, allowing me to record up to 12 channels!!!

Only problem is, that there is some clipping and cuts happening every couple seconds, I have already tried all kinds of settings and it keeps happening.

Might want to upgrade in the future, but this has definetly allowed me to record drums that sound professional overall!

Does what it says on the tin, unexpectedly well.
DAVE GUITAR 20.06.2015
If you want a half decent set of pre amps without killing the bank, this is an option worth considering.

I honestly expected these pre amps to be noisier than they actually were. With all the spiel I hear about behringer using poor converters or components, I honestly couldn't tell the difference between this and the pre amps in my RME babyface. The build quality is good, and unlike some behringer products the red metal front makes it look rather cool. I tested the converters into my RME babyface and monitored the Db noise floor, and found their to be roughly 10 Db noisier than the RME mic pres. If that bothers you, then this won't deliver the exceptional specs of higher grade mic pres and converters, but if you are just using your ears, then chances are you probably won't notice too much of a difference between this and say a focusrite octopre.

Overall, it's a quality unit which has served me well so far, and I have no real negative issues with it.

ADA8200
MacLoud 20.08.2015
A small transformer update to an outstanding piece of Behringer kit. I have three of these in a rack box and with those and a 24track recorder, nothing else is needed in the field for excellent quality recordings (well apart from good mics).
The mic amps in the Behringer are surprisingly quiet and quite transparent.
At the price Thomann supply this Behringer kit it is a thumbs up all round.

Does the job!
Jonathan Killstring 06.11.2022
Do you have an interface that you love? Do you want to expand with ADAT in? This is the jam, right here.

The preamps are okay. The latency when using as an interface is serviceable, but that's not the draw here: it's the DAC.

If you want an ADAT expansion with pretty okay preamps and a killer conversion, this is your box.
