Connecting the CDG-X3P II to a Microphone
IMPORTANT! Before connecting a microphone, be sure the power is off or the volume is turned all the way down. When
the microphone is plugged in and the unit is on do not point the microphone toward the speakers or leave an unattended
microphone too close to the speakers when the volume is up. This can create a loud squeal called “feedback” and could
possibly damage your speakers.
1. Using a microphone cable, designed for use with most Karaoke products, connect a microphone to the end of the
cable with the “XLR” connector.
2. Connect the end of the cable with the ¼” connector into either of the MIC ¼” jacks on the front of the CDG-X3P II.
The CDG-X3P II is designed so you can connect other components to it and use the Karaoke features that are built-in to
the CDG-X3P II in conjunction with those components.
Connecting a Microphone to the 3rd Mic Input with a “Dry” Signal
The 3rd mic input is located on the rear panel of the CDG-X3P II. This microphone input “bypasses” the echo feature
and the bass and treble tones are “preset”, producing a “dry” signal. It is best used for announcements by the KJ or
DJ.
1. Using a microphone cable with a ¼” cable, connect it to the 3rd microphone input on the rear panel of the
CDG-X3P II.
