If the audio meter is regularly showing red, and the red number above it is not changing, then
you should reduce the audio level to avoid audio distortion. After adjusting the audio level, you
may wish to reset the red number by clicking on it once. Observe the new number to make sure
it changes for a while and does not immediately shoot up and become stuck on a red number. If
it does, you may need to reduce the audio level even further.
Audio Balance
The audio mixer supports stereo audio from each audio source. If you wish to change the left
and right audio channel balance for a camera or other audio source, adjust the knob to the
desired balance point.
Audio Source Selection
Below each audio level meter, you will find the ON and AFV buttons that select which audio
sources are sent to the program output of the switcher.
ON Selecting the direct mix to ON allows an audio input to be permanently mixed
into the program output, even when the associated video source is not on
air. The red tally light will always be lit because the audio is always on air.
Selecting this option automatically disables AFV.
Audio Follow Video Audio follow video allows audio to crossfade when inputs change. The audio
will only be sent to the program output when the input is on air, lighting the
red tally light above. When off air, the tally light is lit dull yellow. Selecting this
option automatically disables the direct mix ON setting.
SOLO The solo feature appears as a headphones icon below each input and is
available for ATEM Production Studio and Broadcast Studio model switchers.
Master Audio Level Output
The master fader on the right side of the audio mixer is used to set the gain on the audio level
for the USB webcam program output and has its own audio level meter. Select the AFV button
on the master audio output fader to enable the AFV fade to black feature. This lets you fade
your master audio when you click on the fade to black button.
The audio meter for Cam1 is shown in
gray to indicate that its audio will not
be used as neither of its ON or AFV
buttons are enabled. Cam2 has AFV
selected but its audio is not currently
being used as the camera is not on air
as is indicated by its dull yellow tally
light. Cam3 and Cam4 have their direct
mix set to ON so their mixed audio
is always used and their tally lights
remain lit, even if another camera is
currently on air. The audio level meters
for mics 1 and 2 are also set to 'on' and
therefore always present in the mix.
