PSR s-670 keyboard and microphone

[Alle]

Hello,
PSR s-670,
I would like advice on keyboard setup, (simple for home) cables and connections :
1- with microphone (I think  need a mixer) and audio output through the speakers of the keyboard;
2- with microphone, keyboard, mixer? and external amplified speakers.

grazie a tutti

There are many options, and specific connections depend on what equipment you buy. But typically the simplest way for external sound is a pair of power speakers. You have stereo line out on the keyboard and you just connect those to your speakers. Speaker connections vary but typically this would need a pair of cables with 1/4 inch jack plugs each end. No mixer is required because you control the output sound at the keyboard.
As I am sure you know the 670 has no mic input, so playing the mic through the on board speakers is a bit tricky.  It does have an aux input. But you will need a mixer with some sound controls to control the mic.  These are cheap and you should get one with at least two input sources and stereo output. Plug the mic into the mixer and connect the mixer to the aux in on the keyboard.
When using the mic with the external speakers, set up as the first step above and plug the mic into the mixer so it goes direct to the external speakers.
I am sure that everyone here will be thinking if you are intending to use a mic it would have been much better to buy a keyboard that accepts one, because then you not only eliminate the mixer, but gain important on board features like mic effects and vocal harmony. But it appears too late for that.

Thank you very much Mike, for the very specific advice.

Unfortunately I bought the keyboard a few years ago and the need to use a microphone is recent.

The Aux in is the only line from mixer to keyboard or also the Jack output L/R of keyboard?

grazie, cordiali saluti
