Just got a Behringer ADA8200 for my Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 and it works great for adding another 8 inputs optically. Quality sound at an affordable price.

I'd recommend also using the Word Clock connection (from the primary interface to the secondary preamp interface) when connecting two digital interfaces together via ADAT. This will ensure better sound quality (less potential for Jitter and other negative digital audio artifacts) It will make sure both devices are fully in sync with each other.

Saved my day, perhaps sannity too. Thanks guys - this is when Internet and The Tube is at it's best!

Thank you, I was able to correctly route my set-up after seeing your i/o layout.

As a Studio One user this is immensely helpful... thanks!!!

Behringer is actually a parent company of Bugera, but not of some of the other Music Tribe Inc. umbrella companies, which include Midas, Turbosound, Klark Teknik, Lab Gruppen, and Coolsound. Music Tribe inc is the conglomeration of all companies that have come under the ownership of the board of directors along with founder, Uli Behringer. Bugera is actually the revived an renamed brand of long defunct branch of Behringer amplifiers and the two are essentially like Toyota and Lexus, Honda and Acura, etc. Bugera uses all behringer tech and resources to build inexpensive but (im sure people would turn their noses up) pretty decent quality tube and tube hybrid amps and matching speaker cabinets. Bugera's initial non-infinium series guitar heads suffered from qc issues and gained a reputation for being prone to failing somewhere in the power section due to bad wiring/bad power tubes/other random qc issues. They still made decent amps overall, and now that they have completely revamped the entire amp line up to include the self diagnosing infinium tube biasing, they have become far better known for being just as reliable as the well known brands, albeit with stigmas that musicians hate letting go of(a stigma in and of itself that i hate about musicians, haha). The founder of Behringer is the head of Music Tribe corp with is his amalgamation of the companies that he has acquired over the decades, but they are not all dependent on behringer or begringer on them, but Behringer was the initial and original foray into the music world by Uli Behringer and Bugera is a "high end" spawn of Behringer Music.

I couldn't get my ADA8200 to work with my Tascam 20x20 and your video made it work you guys... Thank You! Subbed!

3:27 Thanks you ! I had a doubt about that.

You could make some spicy memes with that camera

When they put the inputs at the back i would buy this device!

Thanks guys. I now know I can buy an ada2800 an get it working with my 18i20. Cheers from Antwerp.

Thank you for the useful information. I have 18i20 and was planning to buy ADA8200. This helped a lot. Cheers!

thanks for the video guys! I just picked up the Scarlett 18i8 3rd Gen and wanted to eventually expand, the 18i20 is simply overkill for what I am doing now. The rep at the store mentioned the ADA8200 and came across this very well explained demo! Thanks! New Subscriber!

Those outputs on the ADA8200 won't operate until you add a 2nd ADAT cable between the units. You might also need the BNC clocks linking, I'm not sure.

Thank you for the useful information. I have 18i20 and was planning to buy ADA8200

Thank you for this video fellas. I have focusrite 18i20 w and focusrite 2i2 which is cool cause i have 10 inputs. Good for drums , one guitar and vocals . When i have another guitar playera d or bass player i end up having to take mics off the toms and messes up the drums. Paying 450$ for the focusrite octo pre seems and bit much. 200$ is a better deal for the Behringer!

Thanks for the video !

Thanks for this video! Getting these two units soon and your video is saving me time and money seeing as I don’t want to blow anything up!! Lol

Very helpful, thank you x a million! Greetings from rainy England!

You don't blow dinamic mics if you plug them to a powered input +48v :D

this was really useful, thank you. eager to try this all out :)

Thank you gor outputs information.

If there's one thing true it's that Cheap doesn't always mean a bad thing.

Thanks

Great explanation guys! Thanks

Sweet I love this unit

gr8 vid .. but why didn't you use the word clock ..i have seen many videos that after Adat connection , they again separately use the word clock ..

thanks so much!! you guys have been a big help!!

thanks for this really helped me out

Great video thank You man!

Thanks Guys. Can you please help hook up my focusrite claret 8pre to bhringer s16 stage Snake for a realtime recording.

Thanks for the help!

thanks, some good info.

thanks guys

Those Behringer Midas preamps seem to be pretty good

Hi Guys, greetings from Ireland. Nice , clear set-up example. I'm about to push the button on the ADA8200 to connect optically to my Behringer UMC1820. I have one question: Any problems with the unit's sound quality or connectivity? Cheers.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!! I’m going to buy one right away and see if it will work with my scarlet and with my sonar recording program!!! If I have any questions can I reach out to you?

hello can you extend with two behringer ada8200 devices for more channels ?

I'm using protools and the same setup but can't get the Behringer working in protools. I'm getting a signal and can see it in the focusrite control, but I don't think the i/o setup is right in PT. It's not showing the adat inputs ... it's showing all analog inputs in the I/O in PT

Awesome 👌👌👌

Hey is it possible to use the spdif connections as more inputs. I’m running them from my mixers inserts to the interface. Just want to know if they work as inputs as well. To connect 2 extra instruments. Thanks

why do you set the behringer as internal and not the Scarlett ? assume the scarlett would be for inputs 1-8 and 9-16 for the behringer the slave/ My Scarlett is internal for my DAW. thanks

Wait wouldn't you want the one connected to your pc to be master and the add on pre amp to be slave?

Hi i have a doubt in my mind that if i use a diaphragm mic with 48v phantom power will it blow up the mic?btw ur vid is really good and helpful

Hi...Congrats on the video, if i can ask, to have the outputs of the ADA8200 on studio One and use them as well as more outputs to headphone mixes or whatever will you need to plug the Adat out of the focusrite to the Adat in of the ADA8200 or it all works with just the Adat Out of the ADA8200 to the ADAT in of the focusrite? My question is... do just one Adat cable transport the Ins of the ADA8200 as well as the outputs? Thank you very much and keep on the good work...Cheers from Portugal...;)

Why make the ADA8200 master instead of the Focusrite? Any technical reason?

Is it possible to add an additional Ada8200 to a setup like yours or would that exceed what the interface can handle?

Nice video and great info. Question: I have more of a old school setup using a 32 channel Allen Heath Mixer and an Alesis HD24XR 24 track stand alone recorder. (This is the model with the higher specs on the AD/DA convertors.) I have a lot of vintage outboard gear as well. I was told (years ago) that I could use the Alesis recorder as an interface to a DAW by running the mixer channel direct outputs into the Alesis unit (via the TRS connectors) and interface the Alesis Lightpipe outputs with my DAW of choice. The Alesis could be used again for the returns to the console via the same method using the Lightpipe inputs. In other words, I would NOT record using the Alesis unit, but only use it for the convertors to and from the DAW. My question: Assuming this is all true. Is there a way to interface/convert the 24 channels of Alesis Lightpipe to interface with a DAW. The AD/DA convertors on the Alesis sound really great and I was told when talking with an Alesis tech years ago that the XR model convertors were actually made by Apogee. He further alluded they were not allowed (by contract) to release that info at the time on who made the AD/DA convertors (Again according to Alesis). There's no way to confirm what he told me, but the Alesis HD24XR was then out of production for quite a few years and there would be no reason for him to try and sell me on a unit I already owned anyway. So, at least in theory sound's like he may have spoken the truth. Thanks. Phil

I've been trying to make my studio a 5.1 to a 7.1 surround sound I already have my 8 outs used by my dangerous d-box for summing on my Apollo 8 rack what I would like to know where the ada8200 be good enough to have eight outs for speakers for my 7.1 or 5.1 surround sound Studio connected to my Apollo 8

Hey...what if you starting out using a Mackie interface(souncard) with no digital input? Can you plug your mic in at your pre-amp input then use a cable at your output to your Mackie mic input?

Hey Guys Thanks for the video I just got the Behringer connected with my scarlett I get sound from the Behringer input but I don't see the input on Logic Pro x any tips?

So is all you need is just 1 adat cable between the 2 devices? No bnc or spdif needed?

Great video, thank you. I have a problem not addressed. I have the Behr ADA 8200 linked to my Behr 1820 and so I need to assign 16 tracks, all mono to my Studio One 3 DAW. I see how to add tracks with the buttons but my ADAT columns end at 12 so 4 of my inputs are sharing tracks. Any advice to add ADAT columns?

Thanks!!

I've Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface that doesn't have ADAT IN/OUT. Is there any way to make it work with Behringer ADA8200.

My 18i8 works with Scarlett mix software (Focusrite Control doesn’t want to run it for some reason). I’ve set the clock on the 18i8 to ADAT and “int” the other unit. Both are at the same sample rate (44.1). Do you know how to set the Scarlet mix software to add the extra ADAT? I can’t find it anywhere.

phantom power WILL NOT "blow up" and dynamic microphone. It will damage older ribbon microphones though.

My interface is Behringer UMC1820 - which is full. I got a couple of new desktop synths yesterday and bought the Behringer ADA8200 to allow them to be connected. They are connected to ADAT1&2 and 3&4. The ADA8200 is the slave and connected to the UMC1820 by Toslink cables. Everything appears correct. The synths receive midi and the interface receives audio from them - I can see the green leds flash! However there is no audible output! If I connect these synths to the UMC 1820 all is as it should be. Just no audio output when connected via the ADA8200. Latest drivers installed in the UMC1820. I have a feeling it's probably something very simple I'm missing - but it's driving me mad. Any and all help appreciated. Thanks!

hello guys thanks for video! i've got a question for you. The Behringer has a compatibility with my Mac osX 10.8.5?

Hey guys !i'm using a focurite claret 8 pre x and recently bought the ADA8200 but somehow i cannot seem to get any input signal into logic prox. Can you please suggest. Thanks in advance

Hi Guys.. this is an excellent video. I followed all your steps however got stuck at the final leap. I’m using an 18i20 and ADA8200 along with Protools on a Mac. After following the steps, the daw I/O recognised the new optical inputs (the ADATs), both 18i20 and the ada8200 are receiving the mic signals, the meters are working on the interfaces, however there is no feed of the ADAT inputs while recording. It’s blank. The level meters on the daw is also not receiving anything on the ADAT tracks. Please help.

If I want to connect external keyboards to the ada8200, should I add stereo inputs in the setup screen of studio one or mono?

What I find weird is that it is working for inputs, but I wanted to expand my outputs mostly with this, and I can't get any sound to come out

Is there like a reverse version of this where I can get more outputs?

If I use the adat won't my 1073 sound different

Hello friends, I'm planning to expand my scarlett 18i20 but I have not been able to decide between ada8200 or octopre, which of the two do you recommend?

is it possible to add one more ADA8200 in series ? out from ADA8200 to in 2nd ADA8200 and out from it to input of audio interface? or do i have to get 2 ADAT interface?

Works without asio?

Correction channel 9is stereo not mono sorry

Why did you make the internal clock adat, why not keep internal clock?

I'm sorry if you mentioned it, is yours a 1st or 2nd generation focusrite scarlett 18I20? If it is 2nd gen. would it work with 1st gen? I saw another youtube vid were all he had was problems? Thanks!

Hello sir, This is Pratik Pradhan, a sound engineer from India. I have purchased a Focusrite 18i20 (2nd gen) a year back (Sr. No. V966148004887) With Focusrite control software 2.3.4. Now I am connecting it with my TC Electronic Finalizer Express via (Optical Digital Cable_Toslink), for mastering (Sr. No. 1720028). And I am using with Protools 12, in a Windows 10 Setup. Digital Signal Chain (optical) as follows: Sound card OUT to TC IN, TC OUT to Sound card IN. Now the Problem: When I am connecting TC Electronic via Optical cable with my Focusrite 18i20 ‘NO Audio Signal’ is transferred from Focusrite 18i20 to TC Electronic. Though when I am assigning a channel output to ADAT channels from Protools and Focusrite Software Control is also showing signal on ADAT channels but ‘NO Audio Signal’ in my TC. TC input is in Digital with OPTO selected but, 44.1k and 48k is always blinking, Cannot stabilize it. KINDLY HELP ME OUT. A LOT OF MY PROJECTS IS LEFT FOR MASTERING!! I sincerely appreciate if you provide me with a solution at earliest.

cant get mine to get signal into reaper :(

Surprised you used the Behringer clock as the source - the clock in any quality interface is likely to be better (less "jitter") don't get me wrong, I think the ADA8200 sounds pretty good for the money - but the clock surely can't be a match for higher quality gear.

hi , has anyone tried this with a apogee elements 24. ,thanks

do you know if they make a unit that has separate phantom power for each channel ?

But you’re losing sample rate quality. Other octopre’s do the same thing but you’re wasting the 192khz of the main interface by doing everything at 48 khz

Global Phantom?? that's kinda limiting...

Hey guys, can you bypass the Pres on the ADA8200? The Line in?

will this work on scarlett 2i2?

Anyone know if this works with Mac Mojave?
