Using a Microphone for Sing Along
Connecting a commercially available microphone* to the MIC
IN jack makes it possible to sing along with the keyboard’s
built-in tunes or with SMF playback. When connecting a
microphone, be sure to first adjust the MIC VOLUME to a
relatively low setting, and then adjust to the level you want
after connecting.

If a microphone was included with your keyboard, use that
microphone. If your keyboard did not come with a
microphone, use a commercially available microphone that
satisfies the stipulated specifications.
