How to connect a microphone to the big speaker

After turning the speaker on, press the mode button to activate the Bluetooth functionality, and you can sync it to your device.
How to connect two Big Speakers together
Ideally, you need to connect all the devices to one speaker, and then you chain the second one.
Once all the devices are connected, plug the RCA cable into the mix output and connect the other end of the cable to the RCA or AUX input into the second speaker.
P.S.: Please ensure you use the input and output properly and not inverting them.
If you connect a device to the second speaker, only the second speaker will play. That is why we recommend plugging everything into one speaker so that this speaker will share all the audio with the second one.

How two connect a wireless or wired microphone to the JBL Speaker
If you rent a wireless microphone set, connect the Mic receiver via TRS cable to the Mic or Guitar Input.
If you rent a weird microphone, connect the Mic via TRS cable to the Mic or Guitar Input.
What is the difference between the mic and guitar input?
Mic Input: The mic input comes with a reverb effect preset (A reverb effect simulates the natural reflections of sound in a space, creating an echo-like ambiance that makes audio feel as though it’s occurring in a specific environment, from small rooms to vast halls). It will sound like a Karaoke
Guitar (Mic) Input: This is also a mic input. However, there is no reverb effect, and it will provide a very clean sound, which is great for speech and conferences.
Troubleshooting:
If the speakers aren’t playing audio, here are some common issues to check:
- Power: Ensure both speakers are turned on.
- Cables: Verify that all cables are securely connected at both ends.
- Microphone Gain: Confirm the gain for the microphone on the back of the speaker isn’t set to zero.
- Microphone Power: Check that the microphone’s on/off switch is set to “on.”
- Volume Balance: If only one speaker is working, try adjusting the volume knob on the top of the non-working speaker.
How to turn the lights on or off
To turn the speaker’s light on or off, simply use the knob with a sun symbol located on top of the speaker.
