The ADA8000 is a state-of-the art 8-channel A/D
and D/A converter with 8 built-in IMP microphone preamplifiers. This
ultra-compact 19" unit gives you the opportunity to connect analog
audio signals directly to a multitrack recorder or similar equipment
via the integrated ADAT® interface—and needs only one rack space for
this purpose! In return, you can even connect the digital signal of a
multitracker via ADAT® to the eight analog line outputs of your
ADA8000.
At the heart of the
ADA8000 is its preamp section with eight ultra low-noise IMP
“Invisible” Mic Preamps. Both 44.1 and 48kHz sample rate processing and
extensive connections turn the ADA8000 into a flexible recording system
control center for any studio: eight analog inputs and outputs plus an
optical ADAT® IN/OUT interface that can be routed to each of the line
outputs guarantee professional flexibility. All mic/line inputs can be
routed to the ADAT® output. Additionally, external sample rate
synchronization is possible via wordclock or the ADAT® input. Eight
audio channels with combined XLR and ¼’ inputs are available at the
front facilitating flexible configuration of recording sessions without
having to rewire an existing setup. Balanced inputs and outputs
guarantee low-noise signal management. The intensity of all input
channels can be adjusted at the rack module, and can be muted or
directly forwarded to an output. This allows the ADA8000 to be used as
stand-alone preamplifier and audio mixer for a plethora of
applications.
