Essential Information About the MADI Mic/Line Converter ?ATEM Microphone Converter?
- 4 combo XLR/TRS inputs switchable mic/line with +48 V phantom power to connect multiple microphones or an external mixer.
- 64-channel MADI integration via BNC, with the ability to daisy-chain multiple converters to expand sources.
- High-performance audio: 8 analog-to-digital converters per input, 32-bit digital preamps, 131 dB(A) dynamic range, 0.002% THD, and -129 dBV noise floor.
- Dedicated HDMI monitoring displaying up to 16 channels with 60-second waveforms, VU meters, channel names, and mic/line and phantom power status.
Designed for the ATEM Ecosystem, Built for Live Production
Developed for the ?ATEM Television Studio? mixers, the ?ATEM Microphone Converter? provides a reliable multichannel audio input in MADI format. It integrates seamlessly into broadcast or streaming production workflows, with simplified cabling and robust synchronization inherent to the MADI standard (AES10-2020).
For Control Rooms, Studios, and Sets Demanding Clean Capture
Whether mixing a talk show, concert, or webcast, this converter centralizes your analog microphones and lines to your switcher via a single MADI cable. Its conversion quality and integrated HDMI monitoring facilitate level alignment, clip detection, and real-time quality assurance.
Key Features for an Uncompromising Audio Chain
Each of the four analog inputs benefits from 8 ADCs working in concert to expand dynamic range and preserve transients. The 32-bit digital preamps and 24-bit/48 kHz conversion ensure precise reproduction with very low noise and minimal distortion.
The HDMI monitoring port turns any display into a detailed audio analyzer: select 4, 8, 12, or 16 channel views, review 60-second waveform history, VU meters, channel names, as well as mic/line settings and phantom power activation. MADI daisy-chaining and control via USB-C or Ethernet simplify installation and remote supervision.
