Adding Audio Sources in OBS

Audio in OBS starts with creating an audio input source. Adding a source allows OBS to capture and process your audio. Once the input is set, adjust levels in the audio mixer to keep the volume balanced—aim for the yellow range to avoid clipping. Proper configuration ensures consistent audio quality throughout your stream.

Using Wireless Microphones for Flexibility

Wireless microphones, such as those from DJI or Rode, offer portability and versatility for live-stream setups. These devices connect to your computer via USB-C, providing clear audio for speakers or performers who move around during the service. Once connected, OBS can manage the audio input, giving you control over volume and monitoring settings.

Integrating Audio from a Console

For optimal audio quality, connect your front-of-house console to OBS using an audio interface like a PreSonus or Focusrite Scarlett. This setup allows you to capture a mix directly from your soundboard, ensuring professional-grade audio. Proper gain staging at both the console and the interface prevents distortion and ensures clear sound for your live stream.

Embedding Audio Through Video Sources

Another option is to use a camera’s onboard microphone or run an audio feed from your console into the camera. This method embeds audio directly into the video signal, simplifying the workflow. OBS recognizes the combined input, offering seamless integration for your stream.
