Deeside Dragons Live Stream — Signal Flow
The key principle: commentary microphones travel through the BOMGE mixer, while the Panasonic camera microphone supplies rink and crowd ambience. Both are mixed inside OBS.

🎤 Audio mix we want
- Commentator 1: clear and dominant
- Commentator 2: clear and balanced
- Panasonic mic: lower-level crowd, puck, boards and rink ambience
- OBS combines these into the broadcast mix
✅ Connections to confirm
- BOMGE mixer confirmed: 06D Professional 6 Channel 99DSP mixer
- Confirm whether we are using the BOMGE USB connection to the streaming PC
- Exact HDMI capture device
- Where the commentator headphones are physically plugged in
- Exact powered HDMI splitter model
Most important: the BOMGE 06D should handle commentary only, including direct headphone monitoring. The Panasonic microphone should remain embedded in the HDMI feed and arrive in OBS as a separate Arena Ambience source. This keeps commentary and rink sound independently adjustable and avoids sending delayed OBS audio back to the commentators.
