Streaming gear

Streaming gear — microphones, capture cards, control decks and mic arms for your channel.

How to choose

Microphone. a USB mic plugs straight in, XLR needs an audio interface but leaves room to grow
Capture. a capture card brings the console picture into the PC — check the supported resolution and frame rate
Control. a button deck switches scenes and fires effects with one press

Do I need a capture card? Only for a console or second PC; you can stream a PC game without one.

Will the mic arm fit any microphone? Most use a standard thread; check the mic weight and thread size.
