Some Notes on Using a Microphone
• Be careful of high volume levels when using mikes late
at night or early in the morning.
• When connecting a microphone to the KR-7, be sure to
lower the volume. If the volume control is too high when
the microphone is plugged in, noise may be produced by
the speakers.
• Howling could be produced depending on the location
of microphones relative to speakers. This can be
remedied by:
- Changing the orientation of the microphone.
- Relocating microphone at a greater distance from
speakers.
- Lowering volume levels.
