The WKing X20, a popular device among gamers and streamers, offers multiple ways to connect a microphone, enhancing your audio experience for both recording and communication. This guide will walk you through the various connection methods, ensuring you're ready to capture crystal-clear audio.

Understanding Your Microphone and the WKing X20

Before connecting, it's crucial to identify the type of microphone you own. Common types include:

• 3.5mm Jack Microphones: These are the most common, utilizing a standard headphone jack for audio input.
• USB Microphones: These microphones connect directly to a USB port, offering often superior sound quality and features.
• XLR Microphones: Professional-grade microphones requiring an audio interface for connectivity.

The WKing X20 typically features a 3.5mm audio jack, allowing for easy connection of 3.5mm microphones. However, USB microphones will require a separate USB adapter, and XLR microphones will necessitate an external audio interface and likely a different setup altogether, outside the scope of this guide focused solely on the WKing X20's built-in capabilities.

Connecting a 3.5mm Microphone

This is the simplest method:

1. Identify the Microphone Jack: Locate the 3.5mm audio input jack on your WKing X20. This is usually clearly marked. Some models may label it as "MIC" or "Audio In."
2. Plug In: Carefully insert the 3.5mm plug from your microphone into the designated input jack on the WKing X20.
3. Adjust Settings: Depending on your WKing X20's software or operating system, you may need to adjust the input settings to select the correct microphone. Check your system settings to ensure the WKing X20 is recognized and the correct microphone is selected as the input source.

Connecting a USB Microphone

As the WKing X20 doesn't natively support USB microphones, a workaround is needed:

1. USB Hub or Adapter: A USB hub or adapter is required to connect your USB microphone to a device that is compatible with the WKing X20. These devices essentially act as a bridge between the USB microphone and the WKing X20.
2. Connect the Hub/Adapter: Connect the USB hub or adapter to your computer or device that is connected to the WKing X20. This connection method varies depending on your specific hardware setup.
3. Connect the Microphone: Connect your USB microphone to the USB hub or adapter.
4. Adjust Settings: Follow the necessary adjustments to your computer or device settings to ensure that the WKing X20 recognizes the USB microphone as the input source.

Troubleshooting

If your microphone isn't working:

• Check Connections: Ensure the microphone is firmly plugged in.
• Check Settings: Verify that the correct microphone is selected as the input device in your system settings.
• Test the Microphone: Use a separate device to test if the microphone itself is functioning correctly.
• Driver Updates: For USB microphones, ensure you have the latest drivers installed.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of connecting microphones to your WKing X20. Remember to always consult your device's manual and microphone's documentation for specific instructions.
