Go to the Behringer web site and check out their contact list.

I have two ADA8000s that are going on 3 years old. I use them
internchangably with the mic preamps in my Yamaha 02R96. I've lost two
preamp inputs on the 02R96, but none on the ADA8000s.
If one of them dies, I'd just get anohter ADA8000, because if ADA8000s
only
lasted for 3 years, they would still be a good deal. I have friends who
have
more ADA 8000s than I for longer than I without any problems.
