1. Introduction  
Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without  
exception! The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the  
chapter “Specifications”.  
Your ADA8000 is a state-of-the art 8-channel A/D and D/A converter. This ultra-  
compact 19" unit gives you the opportunity to connect analog audio signals  
directly to, say a multitrack recorder via the integrated ADAT interface. For this  
purpose, the ADA8000 deserves one rack space only. In return, you can even  
connect the digital signal of a multitracker via ADAT to the eight analog line  
outputs of your ADA8000. Signal conversion can be processed at 44.1 or  
48 kHz with 24-bit resolution. The ADAT inputs and outputs can be operated  
independently as long as there is an identical wordclock signal. The integrated  
A/D and D/A converters ensure optimal signal conversion without any distortion  
or signal deterioration.  
Power is delivered via the cable enclosed with the unit. All requiered safety  
precautions have been adhered to.  
Please make sure that the unit is grounded at all times. For your own  
protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the cable or  
the unit itself.  
1.1.3 Warranty  
Please take a few minutes and send us the completely filled out warranty  
card within 14 days of the date of purchase. You may also register online at  
behringer.com. The serial number needed for the registration is located at the top  
of the unit. Failure to register your product may void future warranty claims.

Fig. 2.1: ADA8000 channel section  
1.1 Before you get started  
The ADA8000 features eight identical channels. Each section comprises  
a microphone input (on a balanced XLR connector) and a line-level input  
(on a balanced ¼" TRS jack). We recommend connecting only one input signal  
per channel. When two input signals are connected, the weaker signal is  
suppressed and will be audible as interference noise.  
1.1.1 Shipment  
The ADA8000 was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure  
transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may  
have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical  
indications of damage.  
(1) The SIG LED lights up when a signal is present at one of the inputs.  
Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the  
dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well as the  
transportation company from which you took delivery of the unit.  
Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.  
(2) If the input level is too high, the CLIP LED lights up. The CLIP LED should  
light up only with signal peaks but never all the time.  
(3) Use the GAIN control to set the input gain. The gain ranges from +10 to  
+60 dB. The GAIN control governs both the LINE IN and the MIC IN input.  
1.1.2 Initial operation  
(4) This is the balanced ¼" TRS LINE IN connector. A connected analog  
LINE IN or MIC IN signal is not routed to the analog LINE OUT connector (16).  
Instead, it will reach the ADAT OUT interface.  
Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place  
the ADA8000 on top of an amplifier or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk  
of overheating.  
(5) This is the balanced MIC IN XLR connector. For example, you can connect  
your microphone here.  
Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you  
have selected the correct voltage:  
(6) As long as the ADA8000 functions as master, sending a clock signal,  
the SYNC MASTER LED lights up. The appropriate setting can be made on  
the rear (see (15)).  
The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains three triangular  
markings. Two of these triangles are opposite one another. The voltage indicated  
adjacent to these markings is the voltage to which your unit has been set up,  
and can be altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°.  
(7) When the ADA8000 is synchronized externally (either ADAT or wordclock IN),  
the SYNC LOCKED-LED lights up.  
ATTENTION: This does not apply to export models that were for example (8) Press the +48 V switch to provide condenser microphones which are  
manufactured only for use with 120 V!  
connected to the MIC IN inputs with the required phantom power.  
Dynamic microphones do not require this external power supply. When the  
switch is depressed, phantom power is active on all inputs.  
If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the fuses accordingly.  
The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the  
chapter “Specifications”.

ULTRAGAIN PRO-8 DIGITAL ADA8000 User Manual  
Please mute your amplifier(s) before activating the phantom  
power. Otherwise, switch-on thumps may be audible on your  
loudspeakers/headphones.  
(15) The setting of this switch depends on the application of your ADA8000. If an  
external ADAT recorder is supposed to send the wordclock signal (in this case,  
the ADA8000 functions as SLAVE), the switch has to be set to the ADAT IN  
position. Please also note the instructions given in the user’s manual of your  
ADAT device. When your ADA8000 functions as Master (here, the ADA8000  
sends the wordclock signal) please use the switch to select the sampling rate  
of your choice (either 44,1 or 48 kHz).  
(9) The POWER switch powers the ADA8000 on. You should always make sure  
that the POWER switch is in the “Off” position when initially connecting the  
unit to the mains.  
Please take note: Merely switching the unit off does not mean that  
it is fully disconnected from the mains. When not using the unit for  
prolonged periods of time, please unplug the unit’s power cord from  
the power outlet.  
(16) Your ADA8000 features eight LINE OUTs on balanced XLR connectors.  
An input signal present at the ADAT IN will automatically be transferred  
into eight independent signals and routed to the eight analog  
LINE OUT connectors.

to a power outlet, please make sure that the selected voltage matches your  
local voltage. When replacing fuses, please make sure that you always use  
fuses of the same type. Some units allow for switching between 230 V  
und 120 V. Please note: when connecting a unit intended for the European  
3. Applications  
Your ADA8000 is an ideal expansion for BEHRINGER’s digital mixing console  
DDX3216, which features an optional ADAT interface. Thanks to the ADA8000,  
this digital mixer can be expanded by eight additional analog inputs and

inputs and outputs with the ADA8000. What’s more, the eight “Invisible” Mic  
Preamps perfectly enable direct recording to digital multitrackers (e.g. ADAT).  
Last but not least, you can also use the ADA8000’s audio channels to create a live  
surround mix.  
(11) Power is supplied via an IEC connector. The matching cable is provided with  
the unit.  
4. Audio Connections  
You will need many different cables for the various applications. The following  
illustrations show how these cables should be laid out.  
Please use exclusively high-grade cables. The audio connectors of your ADA8000  
are electronically balanced and ensure automatic hum and noise reduction.  
Needless to say, even devices with unbalanced outputs can be connected to  
the balanced in/outputs of your ADA8000. For this purpose, please use either  
mono plugs or connect the ring of stereo plugs with the sleeve (when using XLR  
connectors, pin 1 and pin 3 have to be bridged).  
(12)  
(13)  
(14)  
(15)  
Fig. 2.3: ADAT IN/OUT and wordclock SYNC  
Please ensure that only qualified personnel install and operate the  
ADA8000. During installation and operation the user must have  
sufficient electrical contact to earth. Electrostatic charges might affect  
the operation of the unit.  
(12) All analog input signals are converted into the standard ADAT format and can  
be taken at the 8-CHANNEL DIGITAL OUT. This output can be used to feed  
an ADAT recorder or any other device featuring an ADAT input. Please note  
that a signal present at the Digital In will not be routed to the Digital Out.  
(13) At the 8-CHANNEL DIGITAL IN, you can connect an ADAT device. The signal  
will automatically be routed to the 8 analog LINE OUT connectors.  
(14) Use the WC IN connector to connect devices for the external synchronization  
of your ADA8000. This BNC connector is only active, when the respective  
setting on the rear is made (see (15)). When, for example, various devices  
are interconnected in a digital recording system with, say, a digital mixing  
console, all digital units connected have to be synchronized via a shared  
wordclock signal.
