How to connect a microphone to a synthesizer

The most important advantage of purchasing a synthesizer is that there is no need to spend time and money on constant tuning. Indeed, in terms of maintenance, such equipment does not cause any problems than its acoustic counterpart. If you just bought a synthesizer, then you will need to manually connect the microphone to it and other devices. We will tell you how to connect a microphone to a synthesizer in this article.

Connecting a microphone to the synthesizer

The design of electronic keyboards makes it possible to combine a musical instrument with a variety of devices - connect the device to a receiver, to a remote control, to gadgets, and also connect a microphone to a synthesizer. If you need to turn up the volume of electronic keys quite a bit yourself, the easiest way is to connect it to speakers. You can use absolutely any speakers - even the simplest ones for computers, but it is best to give preference to stereo multimedia equipment.

Via line input

Both microphone and speakers are connected via optical-digital or linear output (audioout). It can also be used when you need to connect the synthesizer to a stereo or TV.

What to do if this connector is not there? What should be done in such a situation? There is an exit! The microphone must be connected to the output, which is intended for headphones (such a connector is available in any model, regardless of its manufacturer).

Attention! If you need a synthesizer to use for or perform on stage, then choose only wide-range combo amplifiers. Such small devices make it possible to improve quality and also increase sound volume.

So, you still managed to connect the electronic piano to the microphone and are assessing the quality of the sound produced. Everything seems to be fine and there are no problems. If there are no problems with sound quality, then this means you are lucky with the synthesizer - play and enjoy. If in the background you hear extraneous noise (hissing) or a sound resembling a crackling sound, then you will need to figure out what caused the problem and begin to solve it. So why does the device usually make noise? It's all due, as usual, to an incorrectly selected power supply or low-quality cheap speakers. Still, saving on speakers is not the best solution if high-quality sound is important to you.

Using a mixing console

If the above tips did not help you, then use the following method:

You will need to purchase a mixing console. Connect a microphone to one input and your electronic piano to the other. At the output you will have all the signals together. You can also connect it to an amplifier or computer and make a recording. Each model of mixing consoles has its own characteristics. We recommend choosing a remote control that has many different effects.

Via computer or laptop

If you have a computer in your home, you can easily solve the problem of connecting a microphone to the computer - use the microphone input. Then connect the signal from the electronic keys from the headphone output to the linear input of the computer. Then you will need to install absolutely any program for recording audio.

As you can see, connecting a microphone to the synthesizer yourself is absolutely simple! You should not call specialists for this.
