Introduction
Wireless microphones bring great freedom to users, but their connection is slightly more complicated compared to wired devices.
Especially when dealing with different types of speakers, interfaces and cables, many users get confused.
In this guide, SYNCO team will clarify the key steps of how to connect a wireless microphone to a speaker.
And we will explain the corresponding solutions in different sound systems to help you quickly establish a stable audio connection.
Preparation: You Need To Know This Before Connecting!
🟢 Wireless Microphone System Components
Generally includes a transmitter and a receiver.
Typically, the transmitter wirelessly transmits the audio signal to the receiver, which then wires the audio signal out to speakers or other playback devices.
🟢 Common Speaker Types
Active Speaker (with amplifier): built-in power amplifier, connected to the audio signal, can be played, suitable for personal or small event occasions.
Bluetooth speakers: most do not have a professional audio interface, is not recommended to be used directly for wireless microphone systems.
Passive speakers (need external amplifier): need to match the amplifier equipment, suitable for large venues, the connection is more complex.
🟢 Common Audio Interface Types
3.5mm (Headphone jack size)
6.35mm (Also called large three-core / large two-core, used for musical instruments or microphones)
XLR (Three-pin canonical interface, commonly used in professional audio)
RCA (Lotus port, commonly used in old-fashioned speakers or home theater)
🟢 Example Of Required Adapter Cables
The receiver output connector is 3.5mm, and the speaker input connector is 6.35mm.
Then, you need to use a 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter to connect to the speaker.
If the receiver output is XLR, select XLR to RCA/XLR/6.35mm adapter according to the speaker input type.
How To Connect Wireless Mic To Speaker: 5 Easy Steps!
Step 1: Charge the device or put batteries in it
Before using your wireless microphone system, first make sure that the transmitter, receiver, and speakers are fully charged.
Some wireless microphones (such as the SYNCO G3 series) use built-in lithium batteries, which are charged via a Type-C cable.
While some traditional wireless systems may require AA batteries to be installed, the speaker itself, if it is an active speaker, also needs to be charged or powered up in advance.
Charging time is within 1-3 hours, and please refer to the product description.
Step 2: Turn on the transmitter and receiver
Press and hold the pair button on the wireless microphone transmitter and receiver until the indicator light comes on.
Normally, a constant blue light indicates that the device has been successfully powered on and is ready to connect.
If the light blinks abnormally, it may mean that the pairing of the devices has not been completed, and you can reconnect them manually according to the instructions.
Tips: The above are common pairing methods for wireless microphone systems. It is best to refer to the manual of the specific series for pairing.
Step 3: Connect the receiver to the speaker
It is the most critical step.
In a wireless microphone system, the receiver is responsible for receiving the sound signal from the transmitter and transmitting it to the speakers via an audio cable.
You need to choose the corresponding audio cable or adapter according to the type of output port of the receiver and the input port supported by the speaker.
Most Bluetooth speakers and portable speakers only have a 3.5mm port, while stage audio and conference speakers may come with a 6.35mm or XLR port.
For example, if your receiver has a 3.5mm output port and your speakers have a 6.35mm input port, use a 3.5mm to 6.35mm audio cable to connect your receiver to your speakers.
Step 4: Turn on the speaker and adjust the volume
Once connected, power on the speaker.
There are usually several knobs or buttons on the speaker, including master volume, microphone volume, reverb effect, high and low sound.
Turn the master volume down and then slowly raise it to prevent sudden whistling.
Then raise the microphone volume knob slowly while trying to speak and observe if there is sound output.
If there is a reverb knob, add as much effect as needed.
Step 5: Test the sound to see if it is working
Finally, perform a complete test.
You can speak softly, snap your fingers, or tap the head of the microphone in front of it to confirm that the sound is coming out of the speaker properly.
If the sound is intermittent, there may be signal interference or poor receiver placement.
Tips: Use high-frequency vocals such as “123” or “buzz” during the test to better judge clarity.
How To Connect Wireless Mic With Speaker - 4 Common Problems!
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
| No sound output | Connectors not securely plugged in, speaker is muted, receiver not powered on | Recheck all device power supplies and jacks |
| Current sound or noise | Poor wire contact, interference from sharing power with cell phone | Replace high-quality audio cables or avoid side-by-side with high-powered devices |
| Intermittent sound | Transmitter and receiver are too far apart, with too much obstruction | Reduce distance, minimize shading, and adjust frequency band if supported |
| Distorted or whistling speaker playback | Volume too high, microphone close to speaker | Reduce microphone gain, move away from speakers |
Connection Tips And Suggestions
After knowing how to connect a wireless microphone to a speaker, you also need to pay attention to the following useful tips:
👉 When using indoors, avoid using the receiver too close to the speakers to prevent electromagnetic interference.
👉 If there are few speaker ports, use an audio mixer as a relay device.
👉 When using the wireless microphone for multiple users, make sure each pair of transmitter and receiver uses a separate frequency band.
👉 When interference occurs, try switching wireless channels or select a digital transmission system(e.g., 2.4GHz).
