You could start by realizing that making the right choice of both karaoke equipment and machine installation requires specific skills and a serious approach. For a true karaoke fan, it would be helpful to keep in mind that building a high-Q home karaoke is not limited to buying a costly device full of features. So what comprises a perfect home karaoke machine?
A karaoke machine itself
Here’s the trick, a karaoke machine you opt for will tell you what equipment it needs to run perfectly fine. By choosing a professional set, you get every chance to present your family with another way to have quality time together. The professional karaoke machine is the heart of your at-home karaoke complex. Its primary task is to maintain the database of karaoke tracks and play them. In our other write-ups, you can find information about the types of modern karaoke machines. However, if you want to get a professional device, make sure you choose relevant microphones, sound, and video equipment. The point is, your new karaoke machine can reach its potential only with high-quality acoustics and microphones.
The right place
Before buying a device, you need to think about the right place for your karaoke complex to give it enough space to sound. Location determines the choice of sound equipment to create the right ambiance. In this regard, a spacious room with good acoustics will make the best choice for your karaoke machine. Also, make sure the room has a good Internet connection: the karaoke system will need it.
To ensure safe use, check the quality of the home electrical wiring. A karaoke room must have an adequate number of 120 V power outlets. Please note that all the devices should be turned off when connecting the karaoke system to other devices.
Sound equipment
Many devices can improve the sound quality of your home karaoke complex. When choosing sound equipment, consider its quality and the karaoke room acoustics. For instance, you use Hi-Fi or Hi-End home theaters set in stereo mode for your karaoke complex. On the other hand, since the home theater is designed for playing sounds, you can hardly use it for vocal performances.
To fully reveal the beauty of your voice and enjoy professional karaoke sound, we advise you to consider professional loudspeakers purchased from well-known vendors. For instance, Studio Evolution karaoke machines run fine with Dynacord or QSC equipment. For karaoke fans seeking unique design solutions, a set of subwoofers and studio monitors from KRK, MACKIE, or PreSonus will make an excellent alternative. The best option for your home karaoke will be EvoSound an affordable audio system from Studio Evolution that includes a soundbar and subwoofer. It was designed specifically for karaoke performances and can deliver excellent sound quality.
Here are more tips we suggest to consider. Don’t place the loudspeakers too close to the walls. Experiment with the location of your sound equipment to achieve better results. To configure the sound frequency, use a 1/3-octave graphic equalizer supplied by Studio Evolution. It makes it easy to customize the sound of the karaoke system to the room acoustics. Alternatively, you can use specific installers or call professional KJs for help.
Video equipment
To connect to professional at-home karaoke machines, you can use a monitor, a TV, and even a video projector. Since Evolution’s at-home karaoke machines support Full HD format, make sure you choose devices with the relevant features to play videos. Full HD monitors and screens will work well for the complex incorporating the Evolution Compact HD karaoke machine. The media center feature will enable you to watch your favorite TV shows and movies in superior quality.
Microphones
The choice of microphones is one of the essential steps in creating a top-notch at-home karaoke complex. The precision of sound transmission and voice quality depends on the type and model of the microphone you use. Wired microphones and radio microphones are both good picks. Classic wire vocal microphones by SHURE, Sennheiser, or Audio-Technica provide the best sound quality in tandem with professional karaoke machines. Those microphones can go without recharging and are pretty convenient to use. The button on the microphone body allows the vocalist to turn the microphone off and on independently, and the wire is long enough for at-home karaoke nights.
A machine with wireless microphones will be an excellent alternative to old-school wired microphones. High-quality radio microphones have long been popular with at-home karaoke lovers. Digital wireless microphones have high sensitivity, noise protection, and wide frequency response. For example, Studio Evolutions in-house developed wireless microphones that are designed specifically for the best singing experience as they’re based on a digital technology that safeguards users from audio delays, distortion, or any other troublemakers. The operational range of digital microphones SE • 200D is 40 meters – more than enough for any at-home party, while one charge ensures 10 hours of continuous operation. The displays on the microphones and receiver allow you to monitor the channel, volume, and battery charge. Modern microphone systems are compact and well-designed. They will definitely fit your new home karaoke set.
You can customize each microphone and achieve the perfect sound of your voice using the parametric equalizer in the Evolution Lite2 and the 3-band graphic equalizer in the Evolution Compact HD.
Controls
An at-home karaoke is a separate drawers system that is easy to control. Studio Evolution karaoke machines come with a large, handy control console that makes it easy to search for songs, set all the necessary settings, record performances, and play movies on the media center.
Alternatively, you can use our special EvoControl (for iPad and Android tablets) and EvoNet (for iPhones and Android smartphones) applications to control your Studio Evolution home karaoke machine. Add songs to your favorites list, enable vocal and voice processing effects in a single click/tap, and enjoy your very own karaoke night.
A ready-made set that consists of equipment from different manufacturers will not always be the best option that fits the specifics of your home. And that is why we recommend you carefully “assemble” your home karaoke machine by choosing items with relevant features. On the other hand, there’s a better option: you can always get the suitable karaoke set from Studio Evolution.
Sure thing, creating a perfect home karaoke complex may seem a tough job. However, if you take your time and focus on every detail, you will get a full-fledged cutting-edge karaoke system that can amaze you with its outstanding performance.
