In this video, we cover the four most common techniques we use for getting audio into the ATEM Switcher during in-studio productions. These include XLR into a camera, lavaliere mic into the ATEM, battery powered mic into the ATEM and dedicated recorder via line-out being fed into the ATEM. We also cover the basics of EQ and dynamics processing on the ATEM.

Great training! Clear, relevant, on point! A true pleasure to watch!
This was an excellent tutorial and you are a gifted sound warrior.
Thus is the best tutorial so far I have seen on atem mini audio thanks for this amazing content
Thank you for watching and thanks for the comment! We really appreciate it!
you answered a few questions i had. thank you
Like your style
Thanks for the comment and Happy Halloween!
Many thanks for this informative training! I would prefer the first solution (2 xlr condenser mics - eg Rode NT5 - directly into camera) for life music broadcasting and recordings via the ATEM Mini Pro ISO. However, I heard the audio quality of the pre-amps in the Blackmagic pocket cinema (I am looking for a 6k) is not so great? Many thanks for your advice!
Please confirm: I think you can add audio efx (compression, gateing, eq, delay compensation) to each camera channel and that WILL BE PRINTED to the ISOs later, yes? I realize this is playing with a loaded gun, printing effects, but I'm trying to get it so my editing stage is downright stupid fast. Thanks for the great video (oh masterful one).
I'm connecting my zoom h5 to my atem mini pro iso. But I'm expiriencing some audio latency, any advice? Thanks
You are awesome. I've noticed you don't seem to use tags on this video. Wondering if that is why there are not as many views as i would suspect...
There's actually a really good reason we don't use tags. We usually forget to. Thanks for the reminder!
what about using an XLR mic and other options? I do not have a black magic camera I just have a webcam for recording videos in my office. I have the Atem mini and are looking at either the Shure MV7 or the SM7B. Do I need to have a pre-amp to run either of those through the Atem or what is the best option?
Yes, you would need a pre-amp and a converter to go from the 1/4 inch jack line out to 3.5mm mic input on the ATEM. You may also have to adjust your delay on audio to make it match the video signal going into the ATEM as the video signal separate from audio is likely a few frames behind the audio.
Thanks for the video. Very informative.
Question, when using Line in on the Mic inputs to the ATEM, is the input still sterio? Or is it mono?
Stereo!
@@JJKoester Thanks. Just tested it.
When I connect my zoom to atem my audi gets all distorded, is it a cable problem?
Possibly but maybe not. The first thing that I would do is open the ATEM Software Control, click on the little gear in the lower left, select the audio tab and then the general tab and make sure you're receiving the audio at the correct level. Try switching from Microphone to Line level.
Good luck!
None of these worked for me even an xlr into the atem with a nt 3 it records VERY low what am I doing wrong?
the atem 3.5mm analogue audio input jack accepts TRS unbalanced stereo (there are 2 audio channnels: tip=left, ring=right, sleeve=ground), commonly found in consumer grade device, blackmagic noted input level max is +6dBV, norminal being -10 dBV, commonly called line level
there is a radiobutton in atem software setting allow user to configure the 3.5m jack to be MIC level (-55 dBu) or line level (-15 dBu)
note dBV and dBu are in different scale, if you never heard of this, imagine Fahrenheit, Celsius/Kelvin then google for more
the XLR mic connector has 3 pins for 1 channel, pin1 is ground, pin2 and pin3 carries the same audio signal but in opposite polarity, it is called differential signalling, the difference (not sum) of pin2&3 is the signal, sometimes called "balanced transmission with 2 driven terminals", before MIC preamp the signal is at MIC level, which is much lower than 2V
pin2&3 carry phantom power for condenser mics
if your connection end up shorting (i.e. summing) pin2&3 together, destructive interference happens and you get zero volts i.e. no signal
You may be able to use pin1 as ground and either pin2or3 (not both) as the signal, but the best result usually comes from a dedicated device properly convert balanced to unbalanced (some does it with a transformer, some does it with electronics)
after the balun conversion is done, consider ways to put the single channel (i.e. mono) on the stereo jack
What line Out cord are you using?
We're using a cheap-as-chips 3.5mm to 3.5mm.

@@JJKoester this says 16' as in ft or do they mean inches? Thought you said 24" max is recommended
@@cheric35 Thank you for catching that. I didn't look at the length, I just went for the first one above 5 dollars. We keep that cable as short as possible. Maybe its time to do a proper test of how different cable lengths affect audio quality. Thank you for double checking that.
