Atem Mini Pro microphone setup

Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum so forgive me if this post violates the policy.

I have been over the past two years recording lectures for my students and then sharing the recorded files. I recently wanted to upgrade my game, so I got a Nikon mirrorless camera, a Zoom H8 handy recorder, and a Deity s-mic 2 xlr microphone. All I needed to do is set the gain in the recorder then sync the audio in post production and so far the results have been superb. However, I will soon be required to run my lectures live via a conferencing tool such as Zoom/Teams. After a long research, I decided to go with Atem Mini Pro.

Given that I have zero knowledge about tweaking audio, would I be able to maintain the high quality audio produced by H8 recorder when streaming through Atem mini? And to achieve this should I connect the H8 recorder line-out to Atem mini mic input?

I am trying as much as possible to avoid having to deal with the equalizer or any sound adjustment tools while maintaining Zoom H8 preamp processing intact.

Thanks,
Hatim

I'm busy at the moment, so don't have time to try this with my H6. I'd suggest going in the the I/O menu on the Zoom and setting the Line Out to -10dB or lower so the signal isn't too strong on there. Some experimentation is probably needed.

Regards,

Tim

Also, keep in mind that the ATEM Uses left/right on the input and not a balanced input.
