Benchmark ADC16 - 16-Channel ADC

ADC16 - "Output wise, there could not be a better interface for a multichannel A/D"

"Benchmark Media has designed reference quality professional and audiophile products for nearly 20 years. The reference quality ADC1 and DAC1 series of converters are some of the best digital converters on the market."

"I played a Gibson Custom Shop ’59 Les Paul, which has a fantastic warm humbucker tone. I have recorded this rig with other converters, but the Benchmark ADC16-recorded tunes played back through the DAC1 USB (or even my Apogee DAC) blew them all away. I have never heard my guitar rig sound this good..."

"I used the ADC16 in a home recording studio — where all levels of artists from garage bands to the well-known artists do their recording these days — and it excelled beyond my high expectations. The finest A/D conversion I have ever heard is through the ADC16."


Stellar Sound Award logo"If ever an audio product deserved the Everything Audio Network Stellar Sound Award, it is indeed the Benchmark ADC16."

"I am so impressed how real sounding these Benchmark converters are."
