i was thinking to buy a behringer ada8000 but these have 16 I/O and they are not made by behringer

are they 24 bits?

They're 24bit and can run in 96khz for 8 channels using 2x ADAT (SMUX). You can switch each bank of 8 i/o between balanced/unbalanced using 4 dip switches. For the money it's a great converter. By the way you beat me to this Scope card... still, I'm as glad as the rest of the community that you now have a 14/15 dsp card

2 of them and a pulsar 2
and i already found a bug in sonic attack synth that i need to fix.

Since you have been in business before. Will you be creating from the SDK, or DP?

I am looking forward to seeing some of your synth stuff.

Heh heh -- note how I said "more modern" above, not "improved".

(It amazes me how some quality fanatics will chase the latest and greatest models of A-D/D-A converters while maintaining an assortment of not-so-great microphones for recording... Personally I've never heard a reason to go beyond 44.1/24 bit with an A16Ultra and a good microphone and preamp, but hey, that's just me!)


Thanks much for your kind words Jimmy! The main reason for the rack separation was my concern over the heat these babies emit. Nevertheless I don't see any rack rash on them, which is partly a nice side-effect of keeping the units separated, but also a real testament to the quality of materials -- I'm still impressed with the heavy duty build of the A16U.

I believe BOTH are sold at this point. <- Edited 3:30pm PST Sunday

Cheers all,

Whoah I didn't realize this thread went on to page 2 already! Sorry...

Neutron: 24 bit is no problem with the A16U. With Z-Link I *believe* you can use a single Z-Link for 96 kHz operation, though in my old age I've forgotten a lot of the SCOE specs... can anyone confirm or correct? Otherwise, at 44.1 and 48, you can certainly use 1 ADAT channel or 1 Zlink for each set of 8 channels. As darkrezin pointed out, you would need 2 ADAT channels for 96 kHz or 88.2.

OK my eyes are getting bleary, I need to not be at a computer for a while (and another cup of coffee would be nice too... forgive me if I come back this afternoon all wired on caffeine to ramble on even more!)

Cheers,

bleary-eyed Johann

How much do you need.

The girls are using the Behringer, and maybe the Producer ( Michelle ) can break into the vault for the skins.

I am just the lowly " Musical Director ". I kind of fancy that anyway. Producer means that if they suck when they perform it's your fault. I can always say I smoked, but didn't inhale.

The pic's were a good idea. I thought you might have had the old Blue and teal A-16's, Like the old one I've had for 10 years.

I'll take one if possible

PM sent week ago but still nothing ???

And still nothing after another PM....

he is away. i got the scope card and an a16

Then i hope for some contact in future. Maybe you know when he will be online again?

I got an a16 from him also...

I buy SRB booster, please reply

they are long gone
