Audio Meter
The peak audio meters display audio levels for channels 1 and 2 when using the internal
microphone, or via external audio when connected. The display is calibrated to dBFS units
and features peak hold indicators which stay visible for a short time so you can clearly see the
maximum levels reached.
You can select from PPM or VU measurement scales.
To achieve optimum audio quality, ensure your audio levels do not reach 0 dBFS. This is the
maximum level that your camera can record, meaning that any audio that exceeds this level will
be clipped, resulting in distortion.
Tap the audio meter to open volume controls for audio input channels 1 and 2, as well as
headset volume.
When recording on ATEM Mini Pro model
switchers, all studio cameras can be
set to record when you click the record
button in ATEM Software Control's record
stream palette
The colored bars on the audio meter represent
peak audio levels. Ideally your peak audio
levels should fall in the upper end of the green
zone. If your peaks enter into the yellow or red
zones your audio is in danger of clipping.
Tap the audio meters on the LCD touchscreen to access
audio channel and headset volume controls. For more
information, see the 'audio settings' section in this manual.
