The Connection Blueprint
Audio Chain First
Connect your XLR microphone to the interface (e.g., Focusrite or GoXLR). Ensure Phantom Power (48V) is toggled on if using a condenser mic. USB mics can plug directly into the PC.
Visual Foundation
Mount your camera at eye level. Use a Cam Link or Capture Card to convert the HDMI signal into a USB feed that your streaming software can recognize.
Software Orchestration
Open OBS Studio or Streamlabs. Add your Video Capture Device and Audio Input. Use the ‘Auto-Configuration Wizard’ to match your internet upload speed.
