Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G G3
The Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G G3 is a professional 1RU rack-mount audio monitoring solution designed for modern hybrid SDI and IP broadcast environments. This latest model features native 10G Ethernet SMPTE-2110 IP input, allowing direct monitoring of IP-based broadcast systems without the need for external converters.
It supports 12G-SDI input for SD, HD, and Ultra HD video up to 2160p60, along with a reclocked SDI loop output for downstream routing. The unit also includes an HDMI 2.0 output for viewing SDI and IP video sources on external displays.
Audio connectivity is highly versatile, with balanced analog XLR inputs, RCA HiFi inputs, AES/EBU digital input, embedded SDI audio, and a professional headphone output. The built-in stereo monitoring system features a 2-way crossover with independent stereo subwoofers for accurate, full-range sound reproduction.
The front panel includes a large, highly visible RGB LED audio meter with selectable ballistics (VU, PPM EBU, PPM BBC, or Loudness), along with a push-button interface and scroll wheel for fast input and channel selection, making this unit ideal for control rooms, master control, OB vans, and live production facilities.
