Broadcast Booth is for streamers and podcasters who go live several times a week and want the desk to handle the technical side. Two ASUS ProArt screens sit side by side, a Shure SM7B swings in on a low-profile arm, an Elgato Facecam MK.2 sits on the right screen and a Key Light on a pole lights the face. Acoustic foam on the wall cuts the echo.
Each part covers one step of the chain. The SM7B goes into an Audient EVO 4, the closed-back ATH-M50x keep the game sound out of the mic, and the Stream Deck MK.2 switches scenes and controls the Key Light without leaving the game. The HP OMEN 35L under the desk has the CPU and GPU to play and stream from the same machine.
On a smaller budget, keep the mic chain and one ProArt: the voice is what viewers notice first. With more to spend, swap the main screen for the LG UltraGear 27GX704A-B if you stream fast shooters, since the ProArt stops at 75 Hz. The OMEN 35L in this configuration is sold in France; in the US, the ASUS ROG G700 is the RTX 5070 tower we list.
Two of them side by side: the game or the edit on one, OBS and chat on the other. They are factory calibrated with 100% sRGB, so overlays and thumbnails come out with accurate colour, but they stop at 75 Hz, which is fine for streaming and slow for competitive shooters.

The classic broadcast dynamic mic rejects sound from the sides, which helps in a room with a PC and a keyboard running. It needs a lot of gain, which is why it goes into a proper audio interface.

A low-profile arm keeps the mic below the camera's view instead of crossing the frame. Its 740 mm reach brings the SM7B from the left edge of the desk to your mouth, and it holds up to 2 kg.

1080p at 60 fps with HDR, and manual exposure in Camera Hub so the image stays stable under the Key Light. It has no microphone, which does not matter next to an SM7B.

2,800 lumens of soft white light, tunable from 2900 to 7000 K from the app or the Stream Deck, so your face stays evenly lit on camera. The pole clamps to the desk edge and saves floor space.

Two mic preamps in a small USB-C box, with Smartgain to set the SM7B level and loopback to send game audio to the stream. The ATH-M50x plug into it too.

Closed-back studio headphones, so the game sound does not bleed into the SM7B. They have no mic, which is the point here: the voice comes from the SM7B.

Low-profile scissor keys are quiet, so typing in chat is less likely to end up on stream. Three-device switching also covers a laptop used for editing.

13 programmable controls hold game binds and the shortcuts that do not fit on the Stream Deck. At 106 g it is a palm-grip mouse for MMO, MOBA and variety streams more than for fast shooters.

A Ryzen 7 9800X3D and an RTX 5070 let you play at 1440p and stream from the same machine. It lives under the desk to keep the fans away from the mic and out of the camera frame. Sold in France only in this configuration.

The 150 cm top carries two monitors, a mic arm and a light pole, and the full-length cable tray hides what a streaming desk collects: XLR, USB and power cables. The power supply in the leg means one cable runs to the wall.

Microphone, arm, headphones, light, camera, capture card and Stream Deck: what to buy in which order, with real products for each step and three ways to put it together.
Eight keys, fifteen keys, or eight keys and four dials: what each Stream Deck is good at, how many keys you really need, and when an editing keyboard is the better buy.
