Using a Microphone for Sing Along
419A-E-022B
You can connect a microphone to the digital piano to sing along
with built-in tunes, or with playback of SMF data from a memory
card.
Using the Microphone Jack
You can connect a commercially available microphone to the digital
piano’s microphone jack. Before connecting a microphone, set the
MIC VOLUME
knob to a relatively low setting. Next, adjust the
volume to the desired level after connecting the microphone.
1 Set the MIC VOLUME knob to the “MIN” setting.
2 Use the microphone’s switch to turn it on.
3 Use the MIC VOLUME knob to adjust the microphone
volume level.
IMPORTANT!
• You may get static noise in the microphone output if there is an
external device connected to the digital piano’s MIDI terminal.
• Be sure to unplug the microphone from the digital piano when
you are not using it.

● Recommended Microphone Type
Dynamic microphone (standard plug)
● Feedback
Any of the following conditions can result in feedback, which
causes a howling sound to be produced through the speakers.
• Cupping the head of the microphone with your hands.
• Positioning the microphone to close to the speakers.
If howling occurs, hold the microphone by the barrel (not the
head) and move it away from the speakers.
● Noise
Fluorescent lighting near the microphone can cause noise. If
this happens, move the microphone away from the fluorescent
lighting causing the noise.
