RWM-66: How To Connect w/ A Mixer

Introduction

The Rockville RWM66 wireless microphone system can be connected to a mixer in multiple ways, depending on your needs. Whether you want one channel for all mics or individual control for each microphone, this guide will walk you through both setup options.

What You’ll Need

• Rockville RWM66 Wireless Microphone System
• Mixer
• XLR cables
• Speakers

Step-by-Step Setup

Option 1: Connecting All Mics to One Mixer Channel (Simpler Setup)

This method is useful if you want to save channels on your mixer while still using multiple microphones.

1. Connect the Receiver to the Mixer
   • Take an XLR cable and plug the female end into the Mic Mix output on the back of the receiver.
   • Plug the male end into any available channel on your mixer (e.g., Channel 1).
2. Adjust Volume Settings
   • Turn on the mixer and wireless microphones.
   • Raise the volume knobs on the receiver to about 50%.
   • On the mixer:
     • Increase the gain knob for Channel 1.
     • Raise the channel’s volume fader.
     • Increase the main left and right faders to hear sound from the speakers.
3. Test the Microphones
   • Speak into a microphone and confirm that audio is coming through the speakers.
   • Adjust volume levels as needed.

✅ This setup works well if you want all microphones to output through a single channel on the mixer.

Option 2: Connecting Each Microphone to a Separate Mixer Channel (More Control)

If you want independent control over each microphone, use this method.

1. Connect Each Microphone Separately
   • Take an XLR cable and plug the female end into Mic Output 1 on the receiver.
   • Plug the male end into Channel 1 on your mixer.
   • Repeat this process for each microphone, matching each receiver output to its corresponding mixer channel (e.g., Channel 2 on the receiver to Channel 2 on the mixer).
2. Adjust Volume and Sound Settings
   • Raise the volume knobs on the receiver to about 50%.
   • On the mixer:
     • Increase the gain knobs for each microphone channel.
     • Raise the volume faders for each channel.
     • Increase the main left and right faders to hear sound from the speakers.
3. Test Each Microphone
   • Speak into each microphone one at a time and confirm that each mic is coming through its assigned mixer channel.
   • Adjust EQ, effects, and volume for each mic to fine-tune the sound.

✅ This setup is ideal for professional audio setups, live performances, or karaoke, allowing more flexibility in sound adjustments.

Conclusion

The Rockville RWM66 can be connected to a mixer using one channel or separate channels for each mic, depending on how much control you need. Using a mixer’s built-in EQs and effects, you can optimize the sound for each microphone individually.
