Using Audio
Connecting other Audio Sources
ATEM Production Studio 4K models feature standard balanced XLR audio inputs and outputs, and
unbalanced RCA audio inputs so you can connect your external audio source directly. RCA audio
connectors are useful when using audio from consumer equipment such as a HiFi system or iPod. The XLR
inputs are balanced and designed to reduce interference and noise, especially when long cable lengths
are required.
If you're using an ATEM Television Studio with an external digital audio source, such as a digital microphone
or mixer, you can connect the AES/EBU audio output of the source directly to the AES/EBU IN port on the
switcher. Otherwise, you can use an inexpensive A/D converter to convert the analog audio output of your
audio source to AES/EBU audio for your switcher.
If you have an ATEM 1 M/E or 2 M/E Production Switcher, you can use the included breakout cable or
make your own custom breakout cable to connect your external audio source's professional, balanced,
analog audio output to the switcher.
Unique to the ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K are line level, balanced XLR input and output for
talkback, designed for connecting to existing talkback systems. This model also features XLR input and
output for timecode. Standard SMPTE linear timecode is supported and the output is frame synchronized
for reliable video and audio timing.
The audio breakout cable included with ATEM 1 M/E and 2 M/E Production Switchers connects to the AUDIO IN/OUT port.
