If you’re just getting into the scene you might want to consider starting off with a discount Karaoke machine. You can end up spending quite a bit of money for the more professional models and if you don’t use the machine very often, you might find yourself with a real case of buyer’s remorse.
What to Choose
The type of Karaoke machine you pick will depend on what you want to use it for and how often you intend on using it.
Portable machines (sometimes called all-in-one machines) provide you with everything you need to rock the house all in one compact compartment. You’ll get a speaker and amplifier, screen and microphone – usually on wheels to make it really portable. All you have to do is plug it in and you’re ready to sing. These are best for those who love to Karaoke but think of it mostly as a hobby. They’re also great if you like to host Karaoke parties.
Microphone machines are the simplest version of the Karaoke system – they’re simply microphones with a small screen that play digital recordings. You sing into the mic and become an instant star. These are best for the occasional singer because they’re inexpensive, take up little space and can be pulled out at any time.
Professional systems are for the die hard fan or the professional Karaoke DJ. These systems can cost up to thousands of dollars and have the highest quality players, speakers, mixers and microphones. They may even include lighting and big screen for video play. If you’re really into the scene (or are opening a Karaoke bar) you’ll be the envy of all your friends when you show up with your professional equipment!
Karaoke DVD players are a subtle addition to your home theatre system. Best for the occasional Karaoke party, they work in conjunction with your home stereo system or additional speakers and your TV screen. They’re a convenient way to dabble in Karaoke, since most homes will purchase a DVD player at some time.
Kids’ Karaoke machines are a great option for the little rock star in your home. They’re more durable and easier to use then traditional machines. They also cost significantly less so they make a viable option for someone who’s looking for a casual system.
