Introducing Blackmagic Audio Monitor

Blackmagic Audio Monitor and Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G are single rack real time audio
monitoring solutions that can be used with a variety of video and audio sources in live, post
production and broadcast environments.
Blackmagic Audio Monitor connects to SD/HD/3G/6G-SDI, digital AES/EBU and analog audio
equipment to ensure outputs have the correct audio levels. The 12G model supports 12G-SDI so
you can connect Ultra HD video up to 60 frames per second. Left and right channel LED level
meters let you see where your audio is peaking and the built in LCD shows your SDI video input
plus important information such as input connection type, video format, frame rate, audio
channels and volume level.
You can monitor up to 16 channels of embedded SDI audio, or use XLR connectors for balanced
analog and AES/EBU digital audio. There are also RCA connectors so you can plug in consumer
equipment such as HiFi systems and iPods.
Your Blackmagic Audio Monitor includes two high quality internal full range speakers and two
sub woofers that give you a wide range of frequencies for clear and deep sound reproduction,
or you can connect a headset for confident sound monitoring that is great if you are in a noisy
environment!

Plugging in Audio

Blackmagic Audio Monitor supports virtually all types of audio equipment! If you want to
connect SDI signals in SD, HD, 2K or even Ultra HD, you can plug in via the SDI input using a
standard BNC connector. The 12G model supports level A and B 3G-SDI video signal inputs.
Plug in using XLR connectors if you want to monitor digital AES/EBU audio from equipment
including disk recorders and digital audio consoles, or from analog equipment such as audio
mixers or Betacam SP decks. Analog audio from consumer equipment such as VCRs and DVD
players can be connected using standard RCA connectors. You can also connect headphones
via the 1/4" TRS headphone jack when you need to listen to your audio privately without
disturbing others.
