We all love a good singalong whether it is in the car belting out our favorites or in the shower, where we certainly have no inhibitions about unleashing our inner star performer. So what are the best karaoke machines to show off your talents?
Undoubtedly singing machines make us feel good and with a mic in your hand and a professional backing track you are sure to make your time in the spotlight truly memorable.
Finding The Best Karaoke Machines
It can be quite a daunting task deciding on which karaoke machine to buy as there are so many options on the market for you to choose from.
Many have different features incorporated in the set-up, and although we know that all of these systems are going to bring lots of fun and entertainment you need to choose the best karaoke machine to suit your needs.
How To Choose The Best Karaoke Machine
When shopping around for a karaoke machine you will find a lot of company names that you may not have ever heard of. This is simply because most karaoke machines are manufactured by these companies and there are not many 'Brand' names for you to choose from.
Bear in mind that some products advertised as karaoke machines may simply consist of mic & speaker combinations without songs & lyrics included.
If you are ok with using karaoke video on YouTube then that is fine. Search for a song title followed by 'karaoke or lyrics' and you will definitely find something that suits.
For a more streamlined experience our recommendations on what are the best karaoke machines, we suggest a set-up with on screen lyric & backing track playback which will give you a true karaoke party feel as you 'croon' or maybe scream your way through all your favorite tunes.
Features - What Do I Need?
The various components in a karaoke machine may leave you 'scratching your head' wondering as to what purpose they all serve.
We have compiled a detailed explanation of parts to help you along.
The Backing Track
This is all part of the fun, the music that you sing along to. It is specifically recorded for karaoke and although lead vocals are not included some backing vocals may be heard.
Mic
One? Two? Solo or duet, it is entirely your decision as to how many mics are required. Obviously the purpose of a mic in case you didn't already know is to 'sing into'.
Prices do vary, but for around about $15 you should get one that is suitable for a home karaoke set-up.
Most karaoke set-ups have 1/4inch jack inputs so you need to ensure your chosen mic has the same type of cable.
Purchasing 2 mics means that you can perform some of your favorite duets along with friends & family to keep your karaoke party rockin' into the small hours.
Speakers
Boom! Boom!. These are where the sound comes from on your system. Some machines already have built in speakers & others require you to simply plug into a speaker, hi-fi, tv or pa system.
If you are wanting better sound quality volume, then plug into a hi-fi system even though your set-up may already have built in speakers.
If only to annoy the neighbours!!!
The Mixer
Where your vocals & backing tracks are mixed. Balancing levels & making vocals sound even better by adding effects such as Echo & Reverb.
What are the best best karaoke machines to achieve the ultimate mixes?
More professional set-ups allow you to alter pitch, in effect making even the worst 'off pitch' singers sound in tune.
Who doesn't want a bit of that!!!
With separate microphone, backing track inputs & stereo output, this will mix the sound sent to the speakers.
Screen
The screen displays all the lyrics, although very few karaoke machines have built in displays. Normally you will use your tv, pc screen, tablet or phone.
If you do not want eye strain when you are dancing and singing, then obviously a larger screen will work much better.
All-in-One Karaoke Machine or Individual Components
Depends on the equipment you have already!
Most of us will have a tv to plug into but separate hi-fi speakers will probably be much more powerful and will manage your 'hollering' far better.
I don't know about you, but I hate lots of cables that I have no clue as to where they are all supposed to go.
What are the best karaoke machines to avoid all this hassle?
My personal choice would be an all-in-one set-up to keep things more simple.
Some karaoke machines do have built in screens and others require a tv lead but the lyrics will be much easier to follow on the tv.
