How to Connect a Wireless Microphone to a JBL PartyBox

Whether you are doing wedding speeches or setting up a karaoke night, connecting a wireless microphone to a JBL PartyBox (like the 710) is incredibly simple. Here is the step-by-step guide to getting crystal-clear vocals.

Step 1: Understand the Inputs

Look at the back panel of your JBL PartyBox. You will see two 1/4-inch jack inputs. One is usually labeled "Mic" and the other "Mic/Guitar". You can plug the receiver of your wireless microphone system into either of these.

Step 2: Plug in the Wireless Receiver

Wireless microphones (like the JBL Wireless Mic add-on we rent) come with a small receiver dongle. Turn the receiver on, plug it directly into the "Mic" port on the back of the speaker, and turn on your handheld microphone. They will pair automatically.

Step 3: Adjusting Gain and Echo

Above the Mic input, there is a small "Gain" dial. Start with this at 50%. Speak into the mic and turn it up until you reach the desired volume. Avoid turning it to 100% immediately to prevent sudden feedback squeals. If your speaker has an "Echo" dial, turn it down to zero for formal speeches, or up to 30% for fun karaoke vocals.
