Microphones for karaoke machines are necessary, while most machines come with karaoke mics as standard the selection found here is suitable for backup or replacement microphones. Occasionally, Karaoke participants can accidentally compromise equipment, they may swing your wired microphone around for showmanship, some may do a classic Mic Drop when they’re finished performing. No microphone should be subject to this kind of usage as their internal workings are delicate, intricate and without proper care can be easily affected.

Check to see which inputs your machine has, microphones connect in different ways so checking this detail before ordering is advised. An XLR type input has three small prongs and is built into the base of microphones, other mics have a quarter-inch jack input this is the same input you would typically find on a guitar lead for example. Whichever inputs your machine is built with be sure to select the correct microphone for your application to avoid any hassle.

Wireless microphones have now become frequently used by karaoke promoters, creating a safer environment for performers. Having a wireless microphone system for karaoke minimises trips over wires and nullifies any microphone swinging that could cause an issue to others or to the mic itself. Check each product to determine just how far the wireless reach is for the product, some allow mic signals that can be received from all around the room.

Karaoke is a lifestyle choice for many professionals, with their mobile karaoke services they will travel around their area to bars or other similar venues and allow customers to join in. The mics they use will often be wireless due to the reasons mentioned, they will also come with a large selection of instrumental music for venue guests to choose from. These will often be very well-known songs, this is so other guests that do not want to take part can still enjoy the fun of karaoke.

The mics we supply come in many colours, shapes and sizes but again be sure to double-check the available mic inputs on your existing machine or the system you plan on ordering. There are also kits of multiple microphones in the same box, if you have a system where there are numerous ways to input microphones, you could easily have 5 different singers performing. However, this multi-mic practise is reserved mostly for larger, competition-style karaoke events and house parties in sizeable homes and gardens.

As mentioned earlier, XLR inputs are the most commonly found when it comes to dynamic, cardioid microphones such as the ones found here. They will often be a metallic silver at the point of connection to an XLR cable, this cable then goes into your karaoke machine or mini mixer. Once the connection has been made you should be able to turn up the mic volume and hear all of your vocal amplified at volume, then all you need is a karaoke video to sing along too.

There are a few ways to improve the longevity of your equipment, sticking to these methods will enhance and improve your microphones life span. While singing, try not to cover the metal windscreen that you sing into with the palm of your hand. This blocks up the vocal signal and sends it on a continuous loop through itself which can cause noisy feedback and nobody is desperate to hear that sound.

As touched on earlier, never let your microphones be swung around by their cable, this will not only compromise the cables inner integrity but also runs the risk of damaging the microphone itself. Not to mention potential party guests this may come into contact with during swinging, it is generally safer to refrain altogether. Always use a mic stand where possible, not only does this look more professional but will keep the microphone still and in a position of full working order.

Mic drops, while they do have their place in physical comedy absolutely do not translate well in the real world. Singers tend to do this to add a bit of attitude into their performance and to get a chuckle from a couple of audience members. All they are really doing is trashing your stuff in front of you and it is you that must front the replacement bill after the party is over, of course, this is up to you but our advice is not to allow mic drops.

How do I connect my karaoke microphone to my phone?
