So we are streaming on a normal basis from our church using a sound board and the sound quality is excellent. But we have an event coming up where we are not going to be in our church and would like to have access to stream, but when I attempt to test it the sound quality is terrible. We are using a Mevo camera but it is not picking up the sound. Any suggestions that are quick and cheap to get this going?

Sound with Mevo Camera

Probably because you're listening to mics that are right next to the source.So we are streaming on a normal basis from our church using a sound board and the sound quality is excellent.
Probably because *that* mic is far away from the source.We are using a Mevo camera but it is not picking up the sound.

Somehow or other, you need to keep the rule of always having a mic close to what you want to hear. Ever notice that TV news reporters hold a mic, instead of just having one clipped onto the camera? Even that "small" difference in position makes a HUGE difference in sound.
So basically the built in mic in the camera is useless then?Probably because you're listening to mics that are right next to the source.

Yep. They usually are. Not because of anything to do with quality, but just their position in relation to everything else.So basically the built in mic in the camera is useless then?
Cameras and mics hardly ever go together, if you want to do it well, which is one of several contributing factors to one of the fundamental rules of serious production: Picture and sound are kept separate and processed separately, and brought together only at the last moment to send out. Video decisions mean nothing for audio decisions and vice-versa, whether that's the physical choice and placement of devices, switching sources at the appropriate times, etc. All of that is kept separate and does not influence the other.

Thank you, I think I have found a way to make it work. Two ways actually. First if Amazon can get the adapter before Wednesday I am golden, if not I have to move our sound board from our church to the place where our event is taking place. One or the other will work out. I appreciate your insight.Yep. They usually are. Not because of anything to do with quality, but just their position in relation to everything else.
