In Streamlabs OBS

Navigate to Settings > Audio. Under ‘Mic/Auxiliary Device,’ choose your Rode Wireless Go II from the list. Confirm the selection and close the settings.

Testing Your Setup

Before going live, perform a quick test. Speak into the microphone and check the audio levels in your streaming software. Adjust the input volume if necessary to avoid clipping or low volume issues.

Additional Tips

  • Use headphones to monitor your audio in real-time for better quality control.
