1. Get your home karaoke setup right

Setting up a home karaoke system can be a mammoth task if you are unfamiliar with the whole host of karaoke equipment. Let’s break it down to find out which are the essential items that you’ll need to make your party a blast.
Microphones
One of the most important pieces of karaoke equipment that needs careful consideration is the microphone for singing. If you’re planning to have a mass sing-along session, you must prepare a few microphones so that there are enough for everyone to share. Are your singing buddies an active bunch who love to dance at a home karaoke party? If yes, consider a home karaoke system that can accommodate wireless microphones to prevent anyone from tripping over wires.
Speakers
The best home karaoke setup should have a good karaoke speaker and karaoke soundbar that can amplify the best quality music and vocals of your singing buddies. Don’t just make do with the subpar sound quality from a regular speaker. Always choose to use karaoke speakers instead of home theatre speakers because the former is designed to support live singing and put your guests’ performance in the best light.
Amplifier
Next, select a karaoke amplifier, also known as a karaoke mixer, that will work its magic to combine audio inputs from different sources like that of microphone, instruments and other music players to produce brilliant singing performances. Karaoke mixers are packed with functions that can change the dynamics of audio. They are capable of augmenting the volume, bass and sharpness to enhance sound features that can make even an amateur singer sound like a trained vocalist.
