A common problem with mic converters is the higher noise floor where electrical noise is generated in the preamplifiers.Plus you get a remarkably low distortion of only 0.002%. This means each input channel delivers an impressive 131 dBA of dynamic range. The ATEM Microphone Converter steps outside conventional audio industry design practice of using an individual audio ADC, as each input implements analog-to-digital conversion using eight high-dynamic-range audio ADCs that function collectively as one ultrahigh-dynamic-range audio ADC.Then, the final levels can be finessed on the ATEM audio mixer as you work. This results in an extremely clean and noise-free gain stage. Best of all, the digital preamplifier is processed in the full internal 32-bit float RAW audio bit depth, so you're adjusting with much greater precision than the MADI audio standard can support. The analog audio levels of different microphone types and brands can vary widely, so this digital gain stage allows compensation for the specific brand of microphone you use.With the four, wide-dynamic-range inputs that eliminate the need for analog preamplifiers, microphone levels are adjusted by a digital preamplifier gain stage that is extremely stable.USB and Ethernet ports allow for remote admin and software updates via the ATEM Software Control app.

A convenient HDMI output with scrolling audio waveforms enables you to connect a display to monitor the status of your audio. The ATEM Microphone Converter utilizes 32-bit float digital preamps and eight ADCs per input to capture clip-free, 24-bit / 48 kHz recordings with an extremely low noise floor, a wide dynamic range, and very low distortion-no matter how loud or quiet a performance gets. The four XLR-1/4" combo analog inputs are mic-/line-selectable and provide 48V phantom power. Equipped with two BNC MADI I/O ports, the Microphone Converter simply plugs into the ATEM Television Studio MADI port, so there's no complex setup required-and additional units can even be daisy chained for more sources. Whether you're building a podcasting studio or you just need more microphones, the Blackmagic Design ATEM Microphone Converter allows audio-input expansion for your ATEM Television Studio by converting four analog XLR inputs to MADI.
