Using a Microphone for Sing Along
You can select any of the 50 Song Bank/Sing Along Group
tunes and sing along with its accompaniment.
Using the microphone jack
Connecting a commercially available microphone* to the MIC
jack makes it possible to sing along with the keyboard’s built-
in tunes or with output from a MIDI device. 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.

Required Microphone Specifications
• Microphone Type : Metal shielded (microphone
body)
• Microphone and Cord
Connector : Cannon type (3-prong)
• Keyboard Jack Connector : Standard plug (monaural)
IMPORTANT!
• Connection to the MIDI terminal of an external device
can cause static in the microphone signal. Use of a
Cannon type microphone with a metal-shielded body
helps to prevent static.
• Be sure to disconnect the microphone from the keyboard
whenever you are not using it.
Howling (Feedback Noise)
Any of the following conditions can cause howling (feedback
noise).
• Covering the head of the microphone with your hand
• Positioning the microphone too near to a speaker
Should howling occur, try grasping the microphone further
away from the head, and move away from any nearby
speaker.
Static Noise
Fluorescent lighting can cause static noise in the microphone
signal. When this happens, move away from the lighting you
suspect may be causing the static.
