Usually, they connect a microphone to a smart TV when you want to sing karaoke. When connecting to modern TVs, there may be some difficulties. Although the TV may be connected to the Internet, some models require additional equipment.
Choosing the right equipment
Before connecting a microphone, it is better to determine the connection method with the desired microphone. They may have the following types:
- Wired to 3.5 and 6.3 mm connectors.
- Wired with a USB port.
- Wireless, connected via bluetooth.
If a home TV does not have the first connectors, then it is logical that you do not need to buy this equipment. If you have a USB connector, you can connect a similar connector, but you can see the specifications for authenticity, and there is no problem with a wireless device at all. It is easy to plug in and use.
New televisions are already configured to connect karaoke and microphone, so you do not need to configure the functions yourself.
How to connect a microphone to a smart TV
To sing well at home, you will need a TV, microphone, tracks and acoustic equipment (speakers). Sound quality can only be checked with a microphone. To connect a microphone to a TV on the Internet, you can find an application, but they are paid. It is better to follow the tips below.
In order to choose the necessary model, one can ask in the store whether she can connect to a certain TV number or series. As soon as the purchased gadget is connected to the connector, it should automatically work on many Smart TVs. It remains only to turn on karaoke.
You can connect any microphone using:
- DVD player.
- HDMI cable (if supported).
A wireless microphone or wireless microphone connects seamlessly. You can figure it out by reading the instructions for the TV. And a big plus of them is that wires will not stretch from them.
A wired microphone is inexpensive. It assumes a standard plug and cord. Here he will need a player or the right connector in the TV, as well as a remote control.
The USB model is universal, as all players have it. But the connection will be troublesome, you need additional configuration, and hence the help of the wizard. But if you are with the “on you” technique, then you can look at the schemes and do it yourself.
ATTENTION. Using a cable and a program, you can make a connection in two ways. They have their pros and cons, but setting up sound and karaoke with them is much easier.
To connect a microphone to a laptop, you need to know where the jack jack is. As a rule, this jack is highlighted in red and there is a speaker sign. If found, it remains only to take the "mini-jack". If it is not on the laptop, then a special adapter or sound card will come to the rescue. The adapter connects to the green jack, and the microphone to the red jack. The sound card looks like a flash drive. It’s easy to insert it and it will work automatically, no programs are needed.
What difficulties may arise
It seems that everything was done right, why it may not work? Common problems:
- TV does not want to see a microphone.
- The TV seemed to connect the device, but there is no sound.
For troubleshooting, you will need to update the karaoke program. If this does not help, then the microphone can be connected to the DVD player, instead of the TV. To be honest, this option is not entirely appropriate, because the new TVs are therefore smart, so as not to resort to additional equipment. In the third option, you can purchase a sound amplifier. It will produce high-quality sound. And the easiest solution is to buy a microphone with a plug. There are no problems with him.
You know the expression, "if you do something well, then do it yourself." But still, if difficulties arise, then you can contact the master or a knowledgeable person.
