5. Operating Instructions

Once all connections are made, you can begin using your Rybozen Karaoke Mixer System.

5.1. Adjusting Audio Levels

Use the control dials on the mixer unit to fine-tune your audio experience:

  • MUSIC: Controls the volume of the background music from your input source. Turn clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease.
  • W/MIC 1 & W/MIC 2: Control the individual volumes of the two wireless microphones. Adjust as needed for balanced vocals.
  • ECHO: Adjusts the echo effect applied to the microphone vocals. Turn clockwise for more echo, counter-clockwise for less.
  • TONE: Modifies the tonal quality of the microphone vocals (e.g., bass/treble). Experiment to find your preferred sound.
Step 4: Adjusting music, microphone, echo, and tone controls on the mixer

5.2. Using Wired Microphones

If you wish to use additional wired microphones, plug them into the MIC 1 or MIC 2 3.5mm input jacks on the front of the mixer. The volume for these microphones will be controlled by the main microphone volume settings or the individual microphone volume settings if available on the mixer (note: the K201 mixer has separate controls for W/MIC 1 and W/MIC 2, but not for the wired inputs, implying they share a general mic volume or are mixed in).
