Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best adult karaoke system?
The best karaoke system will vary depending on your particular requirements. For instance, the size and power of the speakers differ significantly, as does the number of microphone inputs and microphones provided. Some systems also come with speaker and microphone stands if needed. The features provided also vary, with many modern systems including Bluetooth technology, and an inbuilt USB MP3 player. We offer a selection of complete karaoke systems that include everything needed to begin performing.
How do home karaoke machines work?
Karaoke systems are designed to be simple to set up, but the exact process will vary slightly between systems. The provided speakers or mixer/amplifier will include microphone inputs to connect your microphones. They will also include inputs to connect audio sources, such as a CD player to play music, and usually Bluetooth connectivity for wireless streaming. Then it is simply a case of playing audio through the main speakers and using the microphone to sing along. Often a computer or smart device, such as a tablet will be used to display the song lyrics.
Do karaoke systems come with songs?
Most home karaoke systems do not include inbuilt songs. Instead, you can use CD+G discs, which play audio and display graphics on a connected screen. Alternatively, nowadays streaming services are becoming increasingly popular and provide access to countless songs and lyrics. For example services such as YouTube and Spotify are widely used, and there are also specialist karaoke apps.
Are wired or wireless microphone better for karaoke?
Karaoke enthusiasts often use both wired and wireless microphones for their performances. Nevertheless, wireless microphones have gained popularity significantly in recent years. Both types can produce high-quality sound, but wireless microphones offer the added advantage of free movement while performing, without the inconvenience of wires. Although, wired microphones have the benefit of not being dependent on batteries that could potentially run out.
Can you connect a TV to a karaoke machine?
The majority of CD+G karaoke machines will include output options to connect to a TV, or a monitor with a suitable cable, for example, RCA, S video and optical outputs. Take a look at the inputs on your television, and have a look at the specifications of karaoke systems to check what outputs are provided.
What do I need to perform karaoke?
The equipment used to perform karaoke will vary slightly between setups, but typically you will require the following items:
Speaker or pair of speakers
Couple of wired or wireless handheld microphones
Mixer or mixer amplifier (If the speakers have a passive design, they will require an amplifier, whereas active speakers do not)
Computer, smart TV or tablet to show song lyrics
An internet connection will likely be needed to use streaming services such as YouTube
Optional - Speaker stands to mount speakers for wider sound dispersal, and a microphone stand
Does a karaoke system require an amplifier?
Whether or not your karaoke system requires an amplifier will depend on the design of the speakers. If the speakers are passive, they will require a connection to an amplifier in order to provide them with power. However, if you are using active speakers, or an active/passive pair of speakers, an external amplifier is not required, as they feature an inbuilt amplifier.
What is the most popular karaoke song?
There is much debate as to which karaoke song is the most popular, and the answer varies depending on location, age and personal taste. However, some of the most popular karaoke songs include:
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston
Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
Livin’ on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
Wonderwall - Oasis
Dancing Queen - Abba
I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys
Do karaoke machines make your voice sound better?
Karaoke machines do not inherently make your voice sound better. However, they do enhance the overall karaoke experience by providing music accompaniment. Also, many karaoke machines include vocal effects such as adjustable echo and tone controls, which help vocals to sound more professional. Ultimately, the quality of the singer's voice depends on their natural ability and skill level, but a good karaoke machine can provide a fun and supportive platform for singers to showcase and develop their talents.
Do adult karaoke systems have Bluetooth technology?
Yes, the majority of modern adult karaoke machines include an inbuilt Bluetooth receiver. As a result, you can stream music wirelessly from a paired smart device, such as a tablet or smartphone. This is perfect for use with streaming apps such as Spotify, and YouTube or karaoke apps. Once paired, the audio will play through your karaoke speakers and you will be able to view the song lyrics on your smart device.
The History of Karaoke
Karaoke is a form of entertainment that involves singing along to a prerecorded instrumental track of a popular song. It originated in Japan in the 1970s and has since become a popular form of entertainment worldwide.
The word ‘karaoke’ is derived from the Japanese words ‘kara’ meaning ‘empty’ and ‘oke’ meaning ‘orchestra’. Karaoke was first introduced in Japan in the early 1970s when the first karaoke machine was invented.
Karaoke quickly spread throughout Japan and other parts of Asia, and by the 1980s, it had become a national phenomenon. In addition to bars and nightclubs, karaoke machines were installed in hotels, shopping malls, and other public places.
In the 1990s, karaoke began to spread to other parts of the world, including Europe and North America. Karaoke bars and clubs began to open in major cities, and karaoke machines became a popular addition to parties and social events.
Today, karaoke remains a popular form of entertainment worldwide, and there are many different types of karaoke machines available, ranging from simple handheld devices to sophisticated systems with multiple microphones, video screens, and special effects. Technological advancements have further popularised karaoke, making it an ideal activity for home gatherings and parties.
What equipment is included in a karaoke system?
The components comprising a karaoke system can vary, but several critical elements are commonly required.
Firstly, a wired or wireless microphone is necessary for vocal performances. Often, two or more microphones will be included for duets or group performances. Wired and wireless microphones are both popular, but in recent years wireless microphones have become increasingly popular because of the free movement they provide.
Next, a speaker or a pair of speakers is required to amplify both the music and the vocals from the microphone. Active and passive speaker options are available. Active speakers will usually include microphone inputs to connect microphones directly. Whereas, passive speakers will require a separate amplifier and mixer (or mixer amplifier) to power the speakers and connect the microphones.
Lastly, a computer, TV, or smart device, such as a tablet is often included to display song lyrics, allowing users to easily sing along. Internet access may also be required if you are using streaming services to play music.
Popular extras include speaker stands to mount the speakers at a height, which widens their sound dispersal. Also, microphone stands are useful, so you can perform with your hands-free if desired.
How to perform karaoke like a pro
Here are some tips to improve your karaoke performance:
First, choose a song that suits your voice. Pick a song that suits your vocal range and style. Don't try to sing a song that is too high or too low for you, as this can strain your voice and make you sound off-key.
Before you perform, practice singing the song multiple times. Familiarise yourself with the lyrics and melody, and work on your breathing and timing. This will help you feel more confident when you step up to the mic. Breathing is crucial for good singing, so practice taking deep breaths from your diaphragm. This will help you control your voice and maintain pitch.
When it is time to perform, try to engage with the audience. Make eye contact with the audience, smile, and interact with them. This will help you connect with them and create a more engaging performance.
Make sure you hold the microphone at a comfortable distance from your mouth and don't shout into it. Also, avoid touching or tapping the microphone as this can cause unwanted noise.
Most importantly, remember to have fun. Karaoke is meant to be fun, so enjoy yourself and don't take it too seriously. The more relaxed you are, the better your performance will be.
