    Solid unit but I was expecting this 700 watt model to be louder. The sound when attaching mics is terrible. I connected three different sets of mics and the sound was terrible and distorted. I hooked the mics up to another Bluetooth speaker I have and they sounded clear. So , basically eliminating the idea that it could have been the mics. I wanted to use this for Karaoke and now I can’t , so I will be returning.

      Hi Miggy,



      Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRSXP700. This might help.



      There are 2 mic ports on the back, 1 of which can be used as a guitar port as well. Please try the mic input on the left and then try the guitar on the right. Make sure the guitar port is not in guitar mode (there is a little button next to the port)



      To ensure you're getting an optimal listening experience, please make sure you have downloaded the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune your SRSXP700 and maximize the volume to your liking. There is even an EQ.



      For audio distortion, please follow the troubleshooting steps on this link to resolve the issue:
