Karaoke Singer

When you look at the karaoke machine there are certain things that you just have to have. This is especially true if you plan on using your karaoke equipment in various locations or as a DJ. If you are planning on just serenading yourself at home, a laptop with built-in speakers and a microphone will probably suffice. But if you’re using your system to entertain, you’ll need more. If you are wondering what those things are then here are the top ten things that every karaoke system needs:

1. Microphone & Screen (monitor, flat screen or plasma)
2. Sound System & Speakers
3. Player (Laptop, PC or karaoke machine)
4. Songs (mp3’s, CD’s or DVD’s)
5. Time Bar
6. Audio Compression Feature/Fade Feature
7. Hard drive for music storage
8. Line-up List Capability
9. Power Supply
10. Cases and carriers for portability

The first thing that of course you need with any system is actually two items. There is first the fact that you need the microphone. What sort of a karaoke system do you have if you don’t have something for someone to sing into? To go with that, you need something to read the music off. That is where the screen comes into play.

From there, you have a third item, you have to have a way to play the music whether that is through a play list that you have on the mp3 player or a CD and whether you are using a PC or a professional karaoke machine for your karaoke system.

There are added features which can really enhance your system if you are running a karaoke business. The first one is a bar that tells the person singing how much time is left. There is also the feature of a computerized audio compressor. This ensures that your music is in time and not lagging or too fast before the music is played. You need a way that they can choose the speed and the tempo as they sing. There are also features in which the music fades once a person is done singing. A nice feature is to be able to plug in the line-up for participants to know when they are singing.

Then of course, you might want to consider having a large, external hard drive to store all the music. This is especially true if you are downloading mp3’s. These are just a few of the things to consider. You might want even more for your karaoke system. New products arrive on the market all the time to enhance the karaoke experience.
