Hi all. I'm using Sennheiser G3 wireless set into the analog inputs behind the switcher. No matter how much audio gain I adjust in the G3, the audio level is very low. As low as about -30 or -20 db. Increasing the audio level in the audio mixer software doesn't help much. Adjusting too much gain from the G3 will cause peaking and distort the sound. In the end I have to plug the G3 into one of the camera and have the audio sent thru the SDI cable into switcher and it works great this way.
Is it because atem HD only accept line level audio and not mic level?
In the G3 receiver menu you will find an item called AF Out. Set this to the highest number, and the receiver will output line level. The lowest value will give you a mic level output.
Set the transmitter menu Sensitivity value so that the G3 meters are the correct level with your microphone, usually -9 for quiet speaking, -12 or -15 for loud speaking. YMMV.
Thanks all for the replies! If I just use one of the XLR input port, there seems no way in software to duplicate the channel onto the other unused channel to make it stereo right? Only way is to use a physical splitter?
You can use a small mixer like the Sound Devices MixPre and Pan the mono input to feed both channels of audio. If you stsrt with a single mono audio source, duplicating it to two channels, does not make it a stereo signal. You need two Mic's or a Stereo Mic to get a true stereo feed. Panning the single feed off center to two channels of output will give a stereo like effect, but still not true stereo, just a dual mono feed. Cheers
A Y cable works OK with +4dB line level signals, but not with mic level signals. You need a preamp/mixer to split the signal out two outputs to feed the ATEM. Cheers
I'm using a Behringer XR-12 with the Atem HD , works very well , and includes many effects such as noise gates and reverbs. Also can place mono sources in the stereo field. Has built in recorder / player. Downside ( depends on usage ) are no physical controls ( but has iPad/Linux/Windows apps )
Yes Kenny, I was referring to the original MixPre or the D. Mthe new series are aimed at DSLR type market, where an external recorder is needed. Cheers
I know that Behringer has had a less than stellar past. My usual problem with behringer in the past was low quality noisey controls (analogue domain) The virtual mixing desks do away with that.
I would be interested to know reasons to avoid behringer nowadays - I was pleasantly surprised at £220 instead of £1200 for one of the above suggestions.

I think a lot of people judge Behringer for the quality they had before. I use an X32 in my flypack and it both sounds fantastic and is easy (= fast) to work with.
