RoomCast Go - Audio sources

Audio sources for RoomCast Go

RoomCast Go broadcasts sound that comes into your iPhone: its microphone, a wired headset, or a USB sound card or line-in.

Built-in microphone

The quickest start. Good for a talk, a tour or an interpreter. Keep the iPhone close to the person speaking and away from loudspeakers, so the room noise doesn't swamp the voice.

Wired headset

A wired headset with a microphone puts the mic right by the speaker's mouth. That suits an interpreter or a presenter who moves around.

USB sound card or line-in from a mixer or DJ desk

For events, take a feed from the mixing desk or DJ controller into a USB sound card, and connect it to your iPhone. This gives the cleanest sound for services, talks and silent discos.

• Set the level at the source first. If it sounds distorted, turn the desk output down until the peaks stop clipping.
• Use a line output into a line input, not into a microphone input.
• Check the card before the event, with the same cables and adapter you will use on the day.

Mono, stereo and Music quality

Mono suits a single voice. Stereo keeps the left and right of a music mix. Turn on the 96 kbps Music quality option when music matters.

What RoomCast Go can't capture

As with any speaker system, make sure you have the right to play the music at your event.
