Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to connect your Singsation Dynamic Microphone to a compatible karaoke machine:
- Locate the Microphone Input: Identify the microphone input jack on your Singsation karaoke machine (SPKA30, SPKA40, or SPKA700). This is typically a 1/4" (6.35mm) jack.
- Connect the Microphone: Insert the microphone's 1/4" plug firmly into the microphone input jack on the karaoke machine.
- Power On: Ensure your karaoke machine is powered on. The microphone does not require separate power.

Operating Instructions
Using your Singsation Dynamic Microphone is straightforward:
- Power Switch: The microphone features an ON/OFF switch located on its body. Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the microphone. Slide it to 'OFF' when not in use to prevent unintended sound pickup.
- Microphone Placement: For optimal sound quality, hold the microphone approximately 2-6 inches (5-15 cm) from your mouth. Experiment with distance to find the best sound for your voice.
- Feedback Prevention: To avoid audio feedback (a high-pitched squeal), do not point the microphone directly at the speakers of your karaoke machine. Maintain a reasonable distance from speakers.
- Multiple Microphones: If your karaoke machine supports multiple microphone inputs, you can connect a second Singsation microphone (sold separately) for duets.

Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your microphone:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the microphone. Do not use liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- Storage: When not in use, store the microphone in a dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid wrapping the cord too tightly to prevent damage.
- Handling: Handle the microphone with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts, which can affect its internal components and sound quality.
