How to Hook Up a Microphone for Rock Band on Xbox 360
"Rock Band" is a music simulation game developed by Harmonix Music Systems and released by Electronic Arts for a number of systems, including the Xbox 360. The game allows up to four devices--drums, two guitars and a microphone--to be connected to a console so four players can play simultaneously with their favorite rock songs. Hooking up your microphone to your Xbox 360 is a simple process.
