I use a Shure Mvi interface that takes the XLR input and converts the audio with a preamp and sends the audio out over USB. The important thing for this discussion is that you can’t plug an XLR mic directly into a Mac, you have to use some sort of interface. The XLR connector is that round one with three giant pins you may have seen before. My microphone is a Heil PR40, which is an XLR mic. I have an LG 5K display connected via Thunderbolt to the dock, along with a Logitech c920 webcam and a set of headphones.

My Mac gets power, USB, Ethernet, video and audio all from this dock.

I have a 2016 15″ MacBook Pro hooked up to a CalDigit TS3+ Thunderbolt dock. The hardware I use to create the live show is high end but not particuarly complicated. Wish me luck on finding the happy medium! Live Show Hardware Hardware for Live Show If I leave out too much, you’ll not realize how complex of a problem this was to solve, but if I tell you too much your brains will explode. In order to explain the problem, I need to explain some parts of how we create the live show. Steve and I are both engineers with master’s degrees so we’re well trained in the concept of doing controlled experiments to isolate problems, and yet it took us well over a month to finally figure this out. I could jump to the punch line and simply state what’s wrong with my Mac, but the interesting part is the journey. If you’ve noticed my contributions to the show as being on the lighter side lately, it’s because this problem has consumed my life. This failure of my Mac to be able to stream usable video has turned into a technical rat hole, unlike anything I’ve ever “enjoyed” before. I put a link in the shownotes to a short video in case you can’t picture what we mean.

That name comes from a TV show in 1984 in which the main character was a digitally sampled video head that jerked around and the voice was weird too. Eventually my video started doing what we affectionately call the Max Headroom effect. During that show, it only got worse the longer we went on. A little over a month ago, when Steve and I did the live show, he noticed that the video coming from me was out of sync with my voice.
