Karaoke microphone - what is it?

The microphone is designed to amplify your voice when singing or talking to a crowd. This instrument is used in almost all stage performances, be it skits, addresses or concerts. According to their purpose, microphones are divided into several types.

Karaoke microphone - what is it?

Karaoke microphones are a specialized class of devices that are aimed at improving sound transmission conditions. Among modern products, there are increasingly wireless models that allow you to connect to a smartphone or computer via Bluetooth and use the karaoke programs installed there. Their technical feature is a noise elimination system, which helps to get rid of extraneous sounds that invariably accompany the singer, wherever he hides.

Possibilities

The microphone transmits sound to an external device or its own speakers. If it is wireless, then it most often has its own speaker output, the power of which depends on the manufacturer. Some wireless models allow you to transmit sound via Bluetooth to speakers. Wired devices connect directly to the audio device.

Additional features include:

• multi-stage protection from wind and other noise, ensuring cleanliness;
• additional diaphragms that transmit voice without distortion;
• protection for the head made of metal wire, which protects the device from damage;
• filter system that does not allow breathing noise to pass through;
• the ability to switch the direction of sound, which helps to configure the device for different venues.

Advantages

The undoubted advantages of a specialized microphone are the purity of the reproduced sound and ease of use. Using a karaoke microphone you can:

• Sing at a party for family and friends.
• Sing alone when you're bored and have nowhere to spend your time.
• Voice over a video or speak while recording a stream.
• Strengthen the sound of a piece of music.

And much more, depending on the owner’s imagination.

REFERENCE. High-quality microphones for karaoke can cost from several tens to hundreds of thousands of rubles. If the buyer is not seriously involved in singing or recording sound, then he will not need a high-precision expensive model. A cheap sound amplifier will be quite sufficient.

Getting started and setting up

After an expensive and powerful thing is purchased, the question arises of how to use it. If the model is wired and without any additional buttons other than on/off, then you don’t need to configure it - just connect it and it will start working.

If you purchased an option with a “toolbar” with many buttons, then before use you need to practice a little to master all the functions. To do this you need:

• Turn on the microphone by holding the power button for three seconds.
• Move the output device switch to the desired position depending on its OS: Android, Apple or other.
• Turn on your device (phone, tablet, or computer, if the microphone has the ability to connect to it), go to the Bluetooth settings and connect to the microphone.
• Find a video with the backing track of the desired song and lyrics, or simply turn on the already downloaded Instrumental version of the song if you know the lyrics by heart.
• Start listening and try changing your listening settings, such as bass level, to find what works best for you.

As you can see, setup is not difficult for a person who knows how to press buttons. Using the keys on the device, you can set the music volume, pause, and switch between videos forward and backward. Charging is usually done through the included cable, the connector for which is located on the bottom of the handle.
