The unit’s LINE OUT (RCA) jacks can be used to connect to a second power amplifier, an external sound system or mixing device.

Note : The unit offers optimum performance when used as an amp for home sound systems and smaller performance systems and speakers. Use L/R RCA audio cables to connect to an amplifier, mixer or other external sound system. Connect from the L/R LINE OUTPUT on the unit to the L/R audio input on your amp, mixer or sound system. Digital Karaoke Mixing Amplifier with Key Control

Outputting Vocals Independently

You can output vocals independently from the unit into a mixer from the L/R RCA MIC Outputs. Connect the L/R RCA cable from the MIC OUTPUT to an Audio Input on your mixer.

External Speaker Connection

You can directly connect to speakers using either MDP (banana plug) speaker cables or standard speaker wires. Be sure to correctly match the polarities (+/-). Connect rated speakers no lower than 4-0hms to the unit. Please do not try to connect more than one speaker per channel, as the load may exceed the amplifiers handling capacity, causing it to overload.

If using standard speaker wire, unscrew each plastic bind until you are able to see an interior hole for speaker wire (this is easier to locate when viewing from a side angle). Slide the speaker wires into the slots and tighten the plastic binds to tighten them in place. Be sure there is no insulation on the speaker wire preventing conductivity.

Mic(s) connection

Using a mic cable with a 1/4″end, connect the mic to either of the Unit microphone inputs.

Mic with Remote Key Control

Connect the Remote Key Control cable into the KEY CONTROLLER jack on the rear panel of the unit.

Effects Loop Connections

Source Music (Music from a DVD or CD player)

By using the built-in Effects Loop you can add effects such as a professional Digital Key Controller to the source player’s music without compromising the quality of the original signal. To use the effects loop connect an RCA cable from the unit’s EFFECTS LOOP L or R OUT jack to the effects unit input. Then connect an RCA cable from the effects unit output, into the unit’s L or R IN jack.

Vocals

MIC INSERT jacks on the rear panel to loop the vocals through effects unit.

NOTE : In order to do this you must have a 1/4″ Y adapter cable (not included) for each microphone line.

Connect the single end of Y cable into the MIC INSERT jack. Connect one side of the double end into the input on the effects device and the other end into the output of the effects device.

NOTE : There will be no sound if the Y cable is plugged into the unit but the double ends are not connected to the IN and OUT of the device.

Rear Panel Description

1. VOLTAGE SELECTOR Switch : This selector toggles between 110-120V and 220-240V power settings.

When this switch is in the ON position, the volume will reset whenever the machine is turned off and when in the OFF position, the volume will stay the same when the machine is turned off.

7. MIC INSERT jacks : These 114″ jacks allow you to loop each microphone line through an effects unit.

NOTE : In order to do this you will need a 1/4″ Y cable (not included). See “Connecting to an effects system using the Effects Loop” instructions in the GETTING CONNECTED section of this manual for further instructions on running vocals through an effects loop.

8. VIDEO INPUT (RCA) jacks : Connect RCA-ended video cables from these jacks to the VIDEO OUT jacks on the device connected to your VCD (Input A) or DVD (Input B) player.

9. VIDEO OUTPUT (RCA) jacks : Connect RCA-ended video cables from these jacks to the VIDEO IN on a TV or display device. These are not independent outputs; they both output the same video signal simultaneously.

10. MIC OUTPUT jacks : These jacks output the two mic channels without any music. Connect a paired RCA-ended patch cable from these jacks to the appropriate INPUT jacks on a mixer or vocal effects unit.

NOTE : MIC OUTPUT from these jacks is dry. Echo effects will not be applied to this MIC OUTPUT, regardless of the current master and channel echo settings.

11. REC OUTPUT jacks : These jacks provide connection to recording and other external audio devices. Connect a paired RCA ended patch cable from these jacks to appropriate INPUT jacks on the recording or other audio/video device.

12. LINE OUTPUT jacks : These jacks output both mic channels and source music together.

13. AUDIO INPUT jacks : Input audio from a VCD or DVD player into either of these channels. The audio from channel A can only be heard when channel A is selected on the input selector and the audio from channel B can only be heard when channel B is selected on the input selector.

14. EFFECTS LOOP jacks : Use the EFFECTS LOOP jacks to connect an external effects unit, such as a key controller or EQ. After removing the LOOP-BARS, connect a patch cable from the OUTPUT jacks of your external effects unit to the EFFECT LOOP IN jacks. Connect a second patch cable from the INPUT jacks of your external effects unit to the EFFECT LOOP OUT jacks

NOTE : Do not discard the loop-bars. It is necessary for the loop-bars to be in place when there is no external effects unit being used.

15. WIRELESS BT ANTENNA : Pease pull the antenna out when using Wireless BT input

Front Panel Description

Advanced Operations

Balancing the Music with the Vocals

The unit has MASTER, HIGH, MID and LOW controls for both the music and the microphone levels, which enables you to adjust your mix levels with precision, resulting in a professional-sounding mix. If you find that the music is too loud, simply adjust the MUSIC VOLUME control. Also, keep in mind that HIGH, MID and LOW levels also affect the overall “sound” and can be adjusted to correct sound balancing problems. Excessive high (treble) frequencies can lead to feedback, so be careful when adjusting them.

Balancing a Microphone Channel

When adjusting Mic levels, it is recommended to do so in this order:

1. First adjust the MIC VOLUME control to approximately 50%. (Shown on Fig. 1)
2. Then balance the LOW, MID and HIGH controls to approximately 40-60%. (Shown on Fig. 2)
3. Start background music with the MUSIC VOLUME set at approximately 50%. (Shown on Fig. 3)
4. Fine-tune each MIC CHANNEL as necessary till you get a clean balanced mix
5. Remember to compensate if the background music has striking volume changes. To do this, you can utilize the -20dB GAIN PAD. The -20dB Gain Pad toggles between a current volume level and reduced gain volume level. This control can be used to immedi ately go from one volume level to another by a quick push of the button.
6. Once all the settings are complete, do a complete song for complete balancing success.

Balancing the Music Channel

When adjusting the music levels follow the same procedure as seen above for Mic levels.
