Using the microphone jack

Connecting a microphone (not supplied, available at your local RadioShack store) to the MIC IN jack makes it possible to sing along with the keyboard’s built-in 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.

1Set the MIC VOLUME knob setting so it is on the “MIN” side.

2Turn on the microphone’s ON/OFF switch.

3Use the MIC VOLUME knob to adjust microphone volume to the level you want.

Recommended Microphone Type

Dynamic microphone (standard plug)

Howling (Feedback Noise)

Any of the following conditions can cause howling (feedback noise).

Covering the head of the microphone with your hand

Positioning the microphone too near to a speaker

Should howling occur, try grasping the microphone further away from the head, and move away from any nearby speaker.

Static Noise

Fluorescent lighting can cause static noise in the microphone signal. When this happens, move away from the lighting you suspect may be causing the static.
