Hi,
Here is what i am trying to achieve. You may refer to the layout map.
Host is using wireless mic connected to mixer and usb condenser mic connected to PC for zoom streaming.
1. Is there a way to stream PC sound(Music etc) wirelessly to the mixer?
2. Is there a way to concurrently output the usb condenser mic to PC and mixer(wirelessly).
*USB condenser mic has a headphone monitoring port, can i perhaps use that as a way? or recommend a condenser mic that can accomplish that is fine as well(Budget below 300USD)
USB condenser mic BOYA BY-PM500
Wireless mic lav mic(Mini XLR) to transmitter pack
Thank You in advance. Do ask if you need more information. Not an expert in AV field, will try my best to explain as clearly as i can haha.

is the host switching between the two mic's at different points in the presentation?
and unless there is a distance problem because of locations why wouldn't a wired solution work?
why can't one mic be used for both?

Can the mixer be moved to the other side between the Host and stage? Or move the Host position to the opposite side.
What is the mixer?
The ideal setup is all hardwired since wireless links are prone to dropouts.
2 mics on the same person has the potential to cause feedback in my experience so if at all possible do it with one.

1. Host is using both mic at once. One is for sound at offline participants, while another mic is for online participants.is the host switching between the two mic's at different points in the presentation?
and unless there is a distance problem because of locations why wouldn't a wired solution work?
why can't one mic be used for both?
2. Not sort of distance problem but complexity of the event with movements which if there ways that can be achieved wirelessly is at best. Which i did offer to use wired solution, but was instead requested to try to find ways to achieve wirelessly.
3. As the PC and mixer is at different locations hence not sure of ways to achieve being able to use both at once. Do enlighten me if there are ways 🙂

The positions are fixed.

Yeah, i wonder if there are solutions that can achieve what i wanted with one mic as easier for host to manage as well. If there are mics that can handle wirelessly to mixer & wired analog or USB to PC at the same time would be best. Recent;y stumbled upon Comica VM30 wireless mic which said to be able to use wireless and usb at the same time. Probably gonna research more on that

How about a Motu M2 at the PC, and an XLR split out of the wireless mic receiver? - One to the PC and one to the desk.
You could also add another XLR mic to the input of the PC for ambient capture (assuming livestream or similar).
Finally, a balanced line out from the M2 could be run to the mixing desk.
USB mics are only good idea if you want exactly one mic into exactly one device. Anything past that, and you're better off with an audio interface. The Behringer UMC202HD is also worth a look.

Yeah better to lose the USB mic then and use a wireless handheld, lav, or headset mic directly connected to the mixer. Then put a USB interface on the PC and connect send and returns from the mixer so you can get audio from the PC into the house system and a mix of everything back to the PC for live streaming. For this type of application you may need a different mix for the house and livestream so a mixer with enough routing and processing to do that is ideal.
