Can we hook the pyle wirless microphone to an amplifier?

Post by hochoi »

Hi All,

I have a Pyle PDW-M2600 Dual UHF Wireless Microphone System and the onkyo TX-SR304.

Can we hook the wireless phone to this amplififer?
I have no clue. I appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Typically you would connect a karaoke player to the receiver/amp and plug the mics into the player. Otherwise you will probably need some type of mixer like this one.

Thanks, wiseguy. I start to have an idea about this :P

I still have a few questions though:

1. There are two options:

A. play the music by a regular dvd player connected to the amp and I can sing to the microphone connected to the mixer which is connected to the amp?

B. Buy a karaoke player. Connect the microphone to the karaoke player and this karaoke player is connected to the amp.

The difference will be the karaoke player can play those compacted mp3 while a regular dvd player can only play a regular dvd disc.

Am I right?

2. When I look at the thing (I guess we call it the base?) which received the signal from the wireless microphone, I see it has two balanced (XLR ?) inputs in the back and a 1/4 input in the middle. Can you please explain how I will connect it to the karaoke player or the mixer you mention?

Thanks a lot.

Most regular DVD players will only play video (DVD & VCD) karaoke discs and will not have karaoke features like voice cancel and digital key control. I would suggest that you opt for a multi-format karaoke disc player that will play CDG discs as well as the video ones. CDG's are the most popular type of karaoke disc and offer many more song titles.

You can also plug your microphone receiver directly into the karaoke player using a 1/4" cable.

can you please suggest a typical karaoke player?

What is the difference between using the the XLR and the 1/4?

A decent karaoke disc player for home use doesn't have to cost a fortune. The API DVD-330 is an example of one that would do a good job.

XLR is a balanced connection designed to reduce noise caused by the cable. This is mostly beneficial in longer cable lengths (over 20 feet) which you will not have to worry about. You will be using a very short cable (4 - 6 feet) to run from the mic receiver to the karaoke player. Additionally, most karaoke disc players will not have XLR connections.

good to learn about the XLR and 1/4. I have absolutely no clue about the difference between these two :)

When I look at the player you suggested, I saw in the back of it one coaxial and one digital output. So, to in my mind now, it's still a bit unclear but I think the connection chart will be

1. mic receiver is connected to the to FRONT of karaoke player by a 1/4 cable (I saw two holes in there which look like 1/4s)

2. then connect the karaoke player to the amp using the coaxial or digital outputs (for audio) and either component or Y Cb Cr (for video).

My remaining questions are

1. I have two wireless mic (they share the same receiver). The audio signals from BOTH of these mics will be sent out to the karaoke player by just one 1/4 output?

2. The karaoke player will be able to send all audio signals from the dvd disc and the mics to the amp by one digital or coaxial output?

3. This is just for curiosity: What kind of players/amps offers the XLRs?

4. I see my amp has one coaxial+2 digital inputs. Can it receive the audio signals in all three inputs simultaneously? For example, if I connect my regular dvd player and the karaoke player to the amp. Will the amp take signals from both of them?

5. The format of audio which gives you thoudands of songs in one disc is the MIDI format, right? It seems that the one you suggested will not play MIDI format? Can you please suggest ont player which can handle the MIDI format.

Thanks a lot. I think I am geting the picture clearer now :)
