Blackmagic Design ATEM Microphone Converter

Analog microphone to MADI audio converter for ATEM production systems

The Blackmagic Design ATEM Microphone Converter is a professional audio interface designed to add high-quality microphone inputs to ATEM live production systems. It converts analog microphone signals into MADI audio so they can be integrated directly into compatible ATEM switchers for broadcast, live production, and streaming workflows.

The unit features four analog microphone inputs with high-quality preamps and support for 48V phantom power. Each input includes precise level control so operators can optimize microphone signals before they are delivered into the production system. Audio is then converted to MADI and sent to the ATEM switcher, where it can be mixed with other program audio sources.

Designed for flexible system expansion, the ATEM Microphone Converter connects to compatible ATEM switchers using a MADI connection. Multiple units can be chained together to increase the number of available microphone inputs within the production system, making it ideal for multi-microphone live broadcasts and studio environments.

The compact form factor allows the converter to be installed in studios, control rooms, equipment racks, or portable live production systems where additional professional microphone inputs are required.

Key Features

• Converts analog microphone signals to MADI audio for ATEM systems
• Four analog microphone inputs with high-quality preamps
• 48V phantom power support for condenser microphones
• Individual level adjustment controls for each microphone input
• MADI connectivity for integration with compatible ATEM switchers
• Supports chaining multiple units for expanded microphone capacity

Professional Applications

• Broadcast studio audio systems
• Live streaming and production environments
• Multi-microphone studio setups
• Live event and stage production
• Production control room audio integration

System Integration

The ATEM Microphone Converter integrates directly with compatible Blackmagic Design ATEM production switchers that support MADI audio input. Microphones connect to the converter’s analog inputs, and the resulting digital audio is delivered through MADI to the ATEM switcher where it can be mixed with program audio inside the ATEM audio mixer.

Broadcast Workflow Benefits

By converting multiple microphone signals into MADI audio for ATEM switchers, the ATEM Microphone Converter simplifies audio routing within live production systems. This allows operators to manage microphone sources directly inside the ATEM audio mixer while maintaining clean signal paths and scalable audio input capacity.
