4. Operating Instructions
Operating the JYX Dynamic Vocal Karaoke Microphone is straightforward:
- Power On/Off: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the microphone body. Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the microphone. Slide it to 'OFF' when not in use to prevent unwanted sound pickup.
- Microphone Placement: For optimal sound quality, hold the microphone approximately 2-6 inches (5-15 cm) from your mouth. The cardioid pickup pattern is most sensitive at the front of the microphone.
- Adjust Volume: Adjust the volume level on your connected audio device (karaoke machine, speaker, amplifier) to achieve the desired sound output. Start with a low volume and gradually increase it to avoid sudden loud noises or feedback.
