Step 2: Using the Wireless Microphone Simultaneously

One of the cool features of the RAMSYS12 speaker system is the ability to use an instrument and wireless microphone together.

1. Turn on the wireless microphone
   • The speaker will amplify both your instrument and voice at the same time.
2. Adjust volume levels
   • Use the Mic Volume knob for the microphone.
   • Use the Instrument Volume knob for your guitar or keyboard.
3. Sing and play at the same time

Step 3: Adding the Echo Effect

The RAMSYS12 speaker includes a built-in Echo knob, which applies an echo trail to both your microphone and instrument.
