Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Connecting Your Devices

  The Rockbox Pro V2 has a 1/4" microphone input that allows you to connect a microphone via a female XLR to 1/4" cable.

2. Power Bank Feature

• Charging Devices:
  The speaker doubles as a power bank. You can plug a charging cable into the USB input to charge your phone or other devices while you play music.
• Speaker Charging:
  Use the charging port to charge the Rockbox Pro V2. The LED light next to the port indicates when the speaker is charging.

• Menu Button:
  Press the menu button to cycle through three settings:
  1. H (Microphone Volume): Adjust the microphone volume using the plus and minus buttons.

6. Power Saving Feature
