Adjust the microphone volume using the designated control knob or buttons on the speaker. Some models offer separate controls for microphone input level and master volume.
Experiment with these settings to achieve a balanced sound, preventing distortion or excessively low audio.
Proper microphone connection and adjustment are crucial for optimal karaoke performance and clear vocal reproduction.

Echo and Reverb Control

Enhance your karaoke experience with the echo and reverb controls. The echo effect creates a repeating delay of your voice, adding depth. Reverb simulates the acoustic space, making your vocals sound richer and fuller.
Adjust these effects carefully using the dedicated knobs or digital controls on your Max Power speaker.
Start with low settings and gradually increase to find the perfect balance, avoiding excessive effects that can muddy the sound.

Karaoke Mode Activation

To unleash the fun, activate Karaoke Mode on your Max Power speaker. Typically, this involves pressing a dedicated “Karaoke” button or selecting the karaoke function through the mode selection options. Ensure a microphone is properly connected via the designated input jack before activation.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Addressing typical problems, this section covers solutions for no power, Bluetooth pairing failures, and sound distortion, ensuring a smooth user experience.

No Power

If your Max Power speaker fails to power on, first verify the charging cable is securely connected to both the speaker and a functioning power source. Ensure the power outlet is active by testing it with another device.

Allow the speaker to charge for at least three hours before attempting to power it on again. If it still doesn’t respond, try a different USB cable and adapter. A factory reset, as detailed later in this manual, might also resolve the issue in some cases.

Bluetooth Pairing Problems

Experiencing difficulty pairing your Max Power speaker? First, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Confirm the speaker isn’t already connected to another device; it can only actively pair with one at a time.

Try forgetting the speaker in your device’s Bluetooth settings and re-initiating the pairing process. Move closer to the speaker during pairing to minimize interference. A reset of the speaker, outlined in this manual, can often resolve persistent pairing issues.

Sound Distortion

If you notice distorted audio from your Max Power speaker, first lower the volume on both the speaker and your connected device. Excessive volume levels can cause clipping and distortion. Ensure the audio source file isn’t corrupted or of poor quality.

Check the speaker’s placement; obstructions can affect sound clarity. A factory reset, as detailed in this manual, may resolve software-related distortion issues. Try a different audio cable if using the AUX input.
