Product Overview: Blackmagic Design ATEM Microphone Converter

The ATEM Microphone Converter is an essential tool for expanding the audio input capacity of your ATEM Television Studio switcher. It converts four analog XLR-1/4" inputs to MADI and connects directly to the ATEM Television Studio’s MADI port, ensuring a seamless, no-setup-required workflow. Additional units can be daisy-chained for even more audio sources, making it ideal for larger, multi-microphone productions.

Equipped with 32-bit float digital preamps, the converter delivers ultra-low noise and distortion, offering 24-bit / 48 kHz recordings with exceptional clarity, even during loud performances. The use of eight high-dynamic-range ADCs per channel ensures that your audio is captured with 131 dBA dynamic range and extremely low distortion (0.002%).

The converter features 48V phantom power, making it suitable for professional condenser microphones, and provides precise matching between all audio input channels, resulting in consistent performance across different microphones and converters.

Additionally, the HDMI monitor output provides a visual display of your audio levels with scrolling waveforms, helping you monitor input levels during live productions. The display also provides useful status indicators, such as mic/line input selection, phantom power, and channel labels.
