First off any streaming company should not have to ask you to provide all kinds of
adapter s for anything. You should be able to give them a male
XLR and tell them it’s professional
line level +4 dB
But as it seems your hiring a very inexperienced
armature streaming company here’s a
bit about the ATM mini Pro
The 1/8” mini jacks ( there are 2 of them) can be configured in the ATM software as eather a
mono mic input or as a stereo
line input. However the stereo
line input is set up expecting the lower consumer -10 dB
line level.
The simplest thing to do needs 3 things.
1-female
xlr to 1/4” male (goes from output of the
console to DI input
2- a DI (a direct input device that can take an
instrument or
line level device like a keyboard and make it
mic level) you don't need an expensive active DI for this use but you do need a DI with an actual
transformer inside.
3- a
XLR female to a
mono T-R mini
jack
This will work but there are far better ways
The use of a small
mixer designed for just this use between your output and the ATM it should be located with the ATM. They have a USB output than can be directly connected to the ATM and configured in the ATM software
These mixers have
XLR inputs (some just one or two) most are capable of padding down (reducing the
level) to match the mixers needs
They also have 1/4” and
rca outputs if a device the audio needs to be sent to can’t take the digital input then a simple L+R
rca cable to a stereo 1/8” mini will suffice. The ATM 1/8” mini input being configured for stereo
line input.
As to your
console setup. You need to create a separate mic to feed the ATM. All the EQ settings used to make the main output to the PA
system will sound horrible on anything else but the PA
system
? Why is the PA suystem even on to begin with if there is no audience?? You will have far far better results if the mics arn’t being amplified only to be picked up yet again by other mics. That sound will be hollow and empty!
You need to make separate mix to feed the record/broadcast!
Use an
AUX send routed to an unused OMNI output
If the PA must be used for some stupid reason depending on your skill
level and attention span doing a school show
Make the AUX mix a post
fader but exclude the
channel strip EQ so you can make it different from the PA feed EQ’s
With this setup muting and fading mics happens on both main and PA outputs simultaneously.
If your wide awake and paying attention make the aux mix PRE
fader Pre EQ it will sound the best but you will have to be working in 2 layers continuously!
Whatever method make a
macro thst takes you instantly to the aux mix and mix on faders!! I can’t stress this enough.
If any hymns or buzzes arise be sure all the streaming equipment is plugged into the same service and same
phase as the pa gear. If nessary run
power cable from the same outlets powering your
console to the streaming gear to eliminate
ground loops
Good luck
