๐Ÿ“ž Call-in Studio Setup Guide

Put listeners and co-hosts live on air. Callers dial from their own phone โ€” standard network rates apply to them, never to the station.

How it works for listeners: they tap ๐Ÿ“ž Call the Studio on your station page and their phone dials your studio line. When the call connects, their phone pauses the stream automatically โ€” they hear the show through the call itself, live, with no delay. When they hang up, they press play again.

Setup 1 โ€” Two presenters, same studio

EASIEST ยท WORKS TODAY

Use a dual wireless mic kit (e.g. DJI Mic 2 duo, Rode Wireless GO II, Hollyland Lark). Both transmitter mics feed one receiver, and the receiver plugs into your GoLive phone by USB-C or 3.5mm.

Setup 2 โ€” Put a caller on air (budget bridge)

TWO PHONES + ONE CABLE

You need two phones: Phone A streams with GoLive; Phone B answers the calls.

Caller โ˜Ž โ†’ Phone B (answers) โ†’ 3.5mm aux cable โ†’ mic input / RX input โ†’ Phone A (GoLive) โ†’ ON AIR
  1. Phone B answers the studio line (cellular or WhatsApp).
  2. Run a 3.5mm TRRS Y-splitter + aux cable from Phone B's headphone output into your GoLive phone's mic input โ€” or into the 3.5mm IN of your wireless receiver (e.g. DJI RX), which already feeds Phone A.
  3. The caller's voice now mixes with your mic and goes on air.
Limitation: with this budget bridge, the presenter monitors the caller through Phone B's earpiece/speaker, and the caller hears the studio only through Phone B's own mic. It works โ€” but for a smooth two-way show, use Setup 3.

Setup 3 โ€” Full call-in studio (mixer with Bluetooth)

BROADCAST-GRADE ยท REMOTE CO-HOST READY

A small streaming mixer solves everything at once: Bluetooth call audio, real-time monitoring, and two-way conversation. This is how a presenter in Ibadan and a co-host abroad run one show together.
