There’s no complicated set-up as the Converter simply plugs into the ATEM Television Studio MADI port and you can even daisy-chain them together, in order to gain more sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach individual converter provides 4 mic\/line selectable analogue inputs with 48V phantom power. The design delivers amazing audio quality with an extremely low noise floor, a wide dynamic range and very low distortion. 8 separate ADCs on each separate input work together to extend dynamic range and there is also an HDMI monitoring output with scrolling audio waveforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlackmagic ATEM Microphone Converter in More Detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProfessional converter design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ATEM Microphone Converter from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.parkcameras.com\/brand\/blackmagic-design\/\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#0066cc\"\u003eBlackmagic Design\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e features a familiar converter based design that has space for the analogue electronics required for high quality analogue to digital audio conversion (ADC).

The ATEM Microphone Converter’s MADI output embeds the 4 analogue inputs as MADI channels 1, 2, 3 and 4. ATEM Microphone Converter also includes a MADI input, which is used to loop multiple converters when you need more than 4 channels of audio on a single MADI link. This means if a second converter is connected to the input of another, the upstream converter will stack its 4 channels above the 4 channels on the downstream converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAnalogue to digital conversion (ADC)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach analogue input channel has an ultra low noise, fixed gain preamplifier scaled to drive a high dynamic range audio ADC, which totally eliminates using an analogue microphone preamplifier in the design so the input does not suffer from preamp gain step clicks or ‘zipper noise’. The ATEM Microphone Converter steps outside conventional audio industry design practice of using an individual audio ADC, as each input implements analogue to digital conversion using 8 high dynamic range audio ADCs that function collectively as one ultra high dynamic range audio ADC. This means each input channel’s dynamic range is an incredible 131dB(A). Plus you get incredibly low distortion of only 0.002%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLow -129dBV noise floor\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA common problem with mic converters is the higher noise floor where electrical noise is generated in the preamplifiers. The \u003cstrong\u003eATEM Microphone Converter\u003c\/strong\u003eeliminates this problem by using a very different design where the input is converted directly using its ultra high dynamic range conversion so you pass RAW audio to the switcher where the switcher can then apply as much gain as required for the correct audio level. This means you don’t get an injection of noise caused by an analogue gain stage, so you get an extremely low fixed noise floor of -129dBV regardless of digital gain applied. You can then apply digital gain control, which is done in minute ±0.1dB gain steps that are totally inaudible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDigital preamplifier design for improved stability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its wide dynamic range input, which eliminates the need for an analogue preamplifier, microphone levels are adjusted by an extremely stable \u003cem\u003edigital preamplifier\u003c\/em\u003egain stage. Different microphone types and brands can vary widely in analogue audio levels, so this digital gain stage allows compensation for the specific brand of microphone you use. The digital preamplifier is processed in the full internal 32 bit RAW audio bit depth, so you’re adjusting with much greater precision than the MADI audio standard can support. This results in an extremely clean and noise free gain stage. Then the final levels can be finessed on the ATEM audio mixer as you work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePrecisely matched analog inputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe innovative design of the ATEM Microphone Converter also has other benefits, such as extremely precise matching between input audio channels. The multi ADC per input design technique means that each analogue audio input has very similar specifications and tolerances so all input channels are statistically more uniform. Plus the unique 8 ADC input design will maintain a stable and consistent flat noise floor that won’t experience the negative effects of noise floor level modulation that traditional staggered ADC designs suffer from. This means you get similar performance no matter what input you connect the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.parkcameras.com\/video\/sound-and-audio\/microphones\/\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#0066cc\"\u003emicrophone\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e to, and even between multiple ATEM Microphone Converters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHDMI monitoring with scrolling audio waveforms\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eATEM Microphone Converter also includes an HDMI video monitoring output in order to connect a simple TV or computer monitor for a full status display. It includes 4 informative scrolling waveforms over the last 60 seconds of time. There are also audio meters to show the level at the input connector and each channel also includes a custom label set via the software utility. There are also indicators to show the switch settings for mic\/line input selection and phantom power. Plus if you daisy chain converters the monitoring output will adapt and display more than 4 channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConnections\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog Audio Inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 x Combination 3-pin XLR and TRS 1\/4 inch Jack switchable between +24dB line and mic level with support for +48V phantom power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMADI Inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 x BNC supports 64 channel MADI digital audio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMADI Outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 x BNC supports 64 channel MADI digital audio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI Video Outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 x monitor out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComputer Interface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 x USB-C with locking screw\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthernet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupports 10\/100\/1000 BASE-T.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlackmagic ATEM Microphone Converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal 12V DC power supply with locking connector and international socket adapters for most countries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelcome wallet with QR code for software download\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ch4 data-class=\"FinContent\"\u003eFinance available See options\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"FinContent FinCon\"\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"lblFinCalcResult\"\u003e\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eAmount of Deposit (%): \u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cselect class=\"ddlFinDepositAmnts\" data-role=\"master\"\u003e\n\u003coption value=\"10\"\u003e10%\u003c\/option\u003e\n\u003coption value=\"20\"\u003e20%\u003c\/option\u003e\n\u003coption value=\"30\"\u003e30%\u003c\/option\u003e\n\u003coption value=\"40\"\u003e40%\u003c\/option\u003e\n\u003coption value=\"50\"\u003e50%\u003c\/option\u003e\n\u003c\/select\u003e\n\u003clabel\u003eNumber of Installments: \u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cselect class=\"ddlFinNoOfIntsMnts\" data-role=\"master\"\u003e\u003c\/select\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"lblDepositValue\"\u003e\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"lblCostOfCred\"\u003e\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003clabel class=\"lblTotTRepay\"\u003e\u003c\/label\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"finance-rep\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Blackmagic Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54260482408661,"sku":"B638614G","price":390.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/3507\/3493\/files\/B638614G.jpg?v=1784082124","url":"https:\/\/parkcameras.store\/products\/blackmagic-atem-microphone-converter","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
