Setting up audio recording with ClonerAlliance UHD Halo¶
The ClonerAlliance UHD Halo supports flexible audio recording with multiple input sources and mixing options. This guide covers the complete audio setup process.
Audio Input Sources¶
The UHD Halo supports the following audio input sources:
HDMI Embedded Audio — Audio carried within the HDMI signal from the source device. This is the default audio source and requires no additional connection.
LINE IN (3.5mm) — Connect external audio devices such as music players, phone audio output, or other line-level sources.
MIC (3.5mm) — Connect a microphone for recording commentary or narration.
Mixed Sources — Combine HDMI audio with LINE IN and/or MIC simultaneously for audio mixing.
Audio Settings in OSD¶
Navigate to Menu → Audio Settings to adjust the following:
Setting |

Audio Encoding Settings¶
Audio encoding options are configured under Menu → Record Settings:
Audio Codec: AAC
Audio Bitrate: 128 kbps / 192 kbps / 320 kbps
For high-quality audio recording, select 320 kbps. For smaller file sizes, 128 kbps is suitable.
Independent Audio Recording¶
The UHD Halo supports recording the HDMI embedded audio as an independent MP3 file, separate from the video recording. This is useful for extracting audio tracks from video sources.
Audio Monitoring¶
Connect headphones or external speakers to the LINE OUT (3.5mm) port to monitor the audio being recorded in real time.
Practical Audio Scenarios¶

Scenario 2: Game Recording with Background Music

Connect the phone audio output to LINE IN and adjust the volumes accordingly.
Scenario 3: Full Audio Mix (Game + BGM + Commentary)
