The audio fidelity of a home karaoke setup depends not only on the karaoke machine itself, but also on the accompanying sound gear and microphones. Properly matched acoustics deliver pristine, dense, and expansive sound close to that of a live concert.
Standard consumer home theater soundbars are not engineered to handle live vocal transients, frequently frustrating users with noticeable latency and jarring distortion during peak loads. Professional club and studio PA systems deliver superb audio quality, but their bulky footprint, complex operation, and high costs make them impractical for residential living rooms.
The EvoSound Bar audio system from Studio Evolution was purpose-built to merge pro-grade acoustic performance, effortless connectivity, and sleek home aesthetics.
Complete Package: SE • 1200 SB3 Soundbar and SE • 08 SWP Subwoofer
This 2.1-channel audio system consists of two balanced components:
- SE • 1200 SB3 Soundbar: Equipped with 14 drivers — 12 full-range transducers (2.75″) and 2 HF tweeters (1.25″). 10 front-facing drivers produce a well-defined frontal soundstage, while 2 top-firing and 2 side-firing drivers widen horizontal acoustic dispersion up to 270°. The nominal power output of the soundbar is 150 W (3 channels).
- SE • 08 SWP Subwoofer: Outfitted with an 8-inch low-frequency woofer and a bass reflex port. The nominal subwoofer power output is 150 W, with the overall system reaching a peak power consumption of 600 W.
The audio system’s volume easily calibrates to your room’s dimensions: the default baseline level is set to “60”, with a maximum threshold of “80”.
Tuned for Live Vocals with Flexible Calibration
EvoSound Bar was developed in close synergy with the EVOBOX karaoke lineup. It easily withstands abrupt dynamic swings in vocal volume, delivering rich, clean sound free from distortion, whistling feedback, or clipping.
To fine-tune acoustics to your room’s layout, the system features a dedicated configuration menu:
- 7-band soundbar EQ (57 Hz / 134 Hz / 400 Hz / 1 kHz / 2.5 kHz / 6.3 kHz / 10 kHz with ±10 dB adjustment);
- Subwoofer crossover frequency calibration and phase inversion;
- Maximum volume level limiter.
Connectivity and Multimedia Capabilities
EvoSound Bar serves not only as the audio backbone of a karaoke rig, but also as a versatile media hub for the entire family:
- HDMI Connectivity: The soundbar features two HDMI 2.0 inputs and a TV Out port supporting HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel).
Important technical note: Simultaneous playback of HDMI video and audio from the KARAOKE AUX or Bluetooth inputs is only supported when connecting the karaoke system to the HDMI 1 port. The HDMI 2 input only plays audio routed directly through the HDMI 2 audio channel. - Bluetooth Wireless Connection: Stream your favorite music from a smartphone or tablet via A2DP and AVRCP protocols at ranges up to 35 meters (approx. 115 feet).
- MicroSD Playback: An integrated front-panel slot supports native playback of MP3, WAV, APE, and FLAC audio files.
- Analog and Digital Inputs: KARAOKE/AUX (RCA) inputs, alongside digital optical (Optical) and coaxial (Coaxial) ports for linking TVs and external sources.
- Connecting Additional Speakers: External active speakers or an amplifier can be connected via the analog AUDIO OUTPUT (L/R) jacks, while the AUDIO OUTPUT SUB connector allows you to hook up an additional powered subwoofer.
Design and Verdict
The minimalist silhouette of the soundbar and subwoofer complements any contemporary interior seamlessly. The specialized EvoSound Bar system is a dependable solution that eliminates latency headaches and overloading, delivering pure enjoyment during home karaoke concerts and movie nights alike.
