audio feed

Live sound transmission

An audio feed is a continuous stream of sound transmitted from one source to another—from a microphone to a broadcast system, from a venue to remote listeners, or from one device to another.

The term emphasizes the live, ongoing nature of the transmission: We lost the audio feed during the interview.

In broadcasting and production, multiple audio feeds may be mixed or switched between.
