Pastor audio for small church livestreams

Pastor lavs, a known handheld, a USB mixer, and a laptop interface.

A first pastor lav under about $400. One channel is enough for most first kits.

A digital UHF step up from BLX. Recommend when better RF or app control is worth the jump.

~$749.00 · Sennheiser · as of 2026-10-20

A house mixer with stereo USB to the laptop. Recommend when you still need front-of-house mixing and a feed for the stream.

Shure digital half-rack above SLX-D. Hold it. BLX14/CVL stays the first pastor lav.

A laptop interface fed from a board aux. The 2i2 is the default. Skip it if you need a house mixer with USB (that’s MG-XU).
