RWM-66: How To Set Up w/ A Powered Speaker

Introduction

The Rockville RWM66 wireless microphone system can be easily connected to a powered speaker for karaoke, events, live performances, and more. Whether your speaker has an XLR or 1/4-inch input, this guide will show you step-by-step how to connect your system properly.

What You’ll Need

• Rockville RWM66 Wireless Microphone System
• Powered Speaker
• XLR Cable (for XLR inputs)
• 1/4-inch (Quin) Cable (for 1/4-inch inputs)

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Determine Your Speaker’s Mic Input

Your powered speaker will have either an XLR mic input or a 1/4-inch mic input (or both).

• If your speaker has an XLR mic input, use an XLR cable.
• If your speaker has a 1/4-inch mic input, use a 1/4-inch cable (Quin cable).
• Use only one connection at a time (do not connect both simultaneously).

Step 2: Connect the RWM66 Receiver to the Speaker

Option 1: Using an XLR Cable (Recommended for Best Signal Quality)

1. Take an XLR cable and plug the female end into the XLR Mic Mix Output on the back of the RWM66 receiver.
2. Plug the male end into the XLR Mic Input on the back of your powered speaker.

Option 2: Using a 1/4-inch (Quin) Cable

1. Take a 1/4-inch cable and plug one end into the 1/4-inch Mic Mix Output on the back of the RWM66 receiver.
2. Plug the other end into the 1/4-inch Mic Input on the back of your powered speaker.

✅ Tip: Make sure to use a MIC input on the speaker, not a LINE input, for the best microphone performance.

Step 3: Adjust Volume Settings

1. Turn on the powered speaker and the RWM66 receiver.
2. Raise the volume for the channel you are using on your powered speaker.
3. If your speaker has a master volume knob, increase it gradually.
4. Raise the volume knobs for each microphone on the RWM66 receiver (start at 50% and adjust as needed).

Step 4: Test the Microphones

1. Turn on a wireless microphone and speak into it:
   • If you hear sound, your setup is working properly.
   • If there’s no sound, double-check cable connections and volume levels.
2. Mute function:
   • Short press the power button on the microphone to mute.
   • Press again to unmute.

Conclusion

Connecting your Rockville RWM66 wireless microphone system to a powered speaker is simple and allows you to use multiple microphones for singing, speaking, and performances. Once connected, you can also use your Bluetooth device, MP3 player, or other audio sources through the speaker.
