Connecting the RWM66 to Your Audio System

Option 1: Connecting to a Powered Speaker

• If your speaker has an XLR mic input, use an XLR cable:
  1. Plug the female end of the XLR cable into the XLR mic mix output on the receiver.
  2. Plug the male end into the XLR mic input on the powered speaker.
• If your speaker has a 1/4-inch (Quin) mic input, use the included 1/4-inch cable:
  1. Plug one end into the 1/4-inch mic mix output on the receiver.
  2. Plug the other end into the 1/4-inch mic input on the powered speaker.

✅ Tip: Use only one connection type (XLR or 1/4-inch) at a time.

Adjusting Volume for a Powered Speaker Setup

1. Raise the volume for the connected input on the powered speaker.
2. Raise the master volume on the speaker (if available).
3. Adjust the volume knobs for each microphone on the receiver.
4. Speak into a microphone to test the sound.

Mute Function:

• Short press the power button on the microphone to mute.
• Press again to unmute.

Option 2: Connecting to a Mixer

• If you want to control all microphones as one group, use one XLR cable:
  1. Plug the female end of the XLR cable into the XLR mic mix output on the receiver.
  2. Plug the male end into any available channel on your mixer.
• If you want independent control for each microphone, use individual XLR outputs:
  1. Plug an XLR cable into each microphone’s dedicated output on the receiver.
  2. Plug the other end into separate channels on the mixer (e.g., Channel 1 for Mic 1, Channel 2 for Mic 2, etc.).

Adjusting Volume for a Mixer Setup

1. Raise the volume knobs for each microphone on the receiver.
2. Raise the gain knob and volume fader for each channel on the mixer.
3. Raise the main left and right faders on the mixer.
4. Speak into a microphone to test the sound.

✅ Tip: If using multiple microphones, adjust each one’s EQ settings and effects on the mixer for optimal sound balance.

Setting Up the RWM66 for Karaoke

1. Connect the receiver to your mixer or powered speaker.
2. Pair a Bluetooth device (phone/tablet) to the mixer for music playback:
   • Set the mixer to Bluetooth mode.
   • Search for the mixer’s Bluetooth name in your device’s Bluetooth settings.
   • Select it to pair.
3. Open YouTube and play a karaoke track.
4. Adjust microphone volume and effects on the mixer.
