Using the microphone jack

Connecting a commercially available microphone* to the MIC jack makes it possible to sing along with the keyboard’s builtin tunes or with SMF playback. When connecting a microphone, be sure to first adjust the MIC VOLUME to a relatively low setting, and then adjust to the level you want after connecting.

*If a microphone was included with your keyboard, use that microphone. If your keyboard did not come with a microphone, use a commercially available microphone that satisfies the stipulated specifications.
