Setup Instructions

1. Initial Charging

2. Connecting the Microphones

The K66DG Series offers flexible connection options:

Dual Wireless Mode (for Co-Hosting)

• Insert the USB Dongle Receiver into your device (PC, iPhone, iPad, Android, PS4/PS5). Use the appropriate USB-C or Lightning adapter if necessary.
• Power on both 2.4GHz Wireless Microphones. They will automatically pair with the receiver.
• Both microphones will deliver clear, synchronized audio to your single connected device.

Single Microphone Mode (Wireless)

• Insert the USB Dongle Receiver into your device.
• Power on one 2.4GHz Wireless Microphone. It will automatically pair with the receiver.

Single Microphone Mode (Wired)

• Connect one microphone directly to your device using the provided USB-A to USB-C cable. This mode is only supported for single-mic use.

Operating Instructions

1. Microphone Controls

Each microphone features intuitive onboard controls:

• MUTE/ANC Button: Double-press to toggle advanced noise cancellation (ANC) on or off. A blue LED indicates ANC is active. Single press to mute/unmute (red LED for mute).
• Mic Gain Knob: Adjusts microphone sensitivity. Turn clockwise to lower sensitivity, counterclockwise for more vocal detail.
• Echo Knob: Fine-tunes echo for rich, spacious effects, ideal for singing or enhancing voiceovers.
• Monitor Volume: Controls the volume of the 3.5mm headphone jack for zero-latency playback.

2. Noise Cancellation

The built-in DSP noise-canceling chipset provides clean, professional sound. Double-press the MUTE/ANC button to activate or deactivate noise cancellation. The mic defaults to original mode for natural sound. Activate noise reduction to block background distractions in noisy environments.

3. Microphone Placement

For best results, speak directly into the top of the microphone. Its top-address design and cardioid pickup pattern isolate your voice and minimize background noise. Keep the microphone 6-12 inches away from your mouth for optimal sound quality.

4. Bluetooth Music Input

Pair a second device via Bluetooth to play background music or sound effects during your streams or recordings. This feature adds real-time background music without affecting your voice recording, which is captured separately via the 2.4GHz wireless connection.
