Wireless Microphone Karaoke Mixer System, Dual Handheld Wireless Microphone for Karaoke, Smart TV, PC, Speaker, Amplifier, Church, Wedding - Support HDMI, AUX In/Out

I like to host karaoke nights at my home which I run through my PC attached to our living room TV and AVR, and I use YouTube for the songs. Traditionally, I would plug a microphone into the PC; however, this causes a distracting audio delay, so I went searching for better solutions. I tested three solutions: this system which plugs right into my existing setup, a big stand alone karaoke speaker, and an Ikarao system that I jerry-rigged to work basically the same as this Rybozen. I then tested all three both by recording myself tapping the microphone of each system to objectively measure the delay and in actual use of singing karaoke. I am very pleased that this Rybozen came out on top in every possible way. In my initial set-up, I plugged my PC into HDMI in and ran HDMI out to my receiver where my PC would normally be plugged into. Right out of the box with that set-up, the delay was significantly improved, and in my experimenting, was the least delay of all my options including the designated karaoke machine with its own speaker. I further tweaked it by running the aux cables into the receiver for the audio (I'm using a Denon AVR that supports a separate Audio In for all inputs, you have to tweak the AVR settings to instruct it to override the HDMI audio signal), and that made the delay almost non-existent. Even before my testing, this was my favorite. It was the simplest option easily plugging right into my existing setup. It is also significantly cheaper than other karaoke solutions. I love the simplicity of the five dials to cover Music volume, Mic volume, Echo, and Treble making it super simple to adjust these on the fly as people are singing. In actual use, the microphones were also my favorite of the three. They come with optional foam covers which help reduce the plosives, and overall felt the most like a real microphone (the Ikarao comes with these stick microphones that feel like you're holding a baton). Overall, if you're looking for something portal, or you don't already have a home setup where you just need to plug in some wireless mics, you may want to go in the direction of an Ikarao (which came in second in our ranking). But if you're trying to run karaoke through a receiver and basically use your own AV equipment, this Rybozen is a no-brainer. Nothing else comes close to it.

After receiving a purchase request for a Karaoke machine (from my better half), I initially was pretty turned off by all of the "Color changing LEDs" type stuff on MOST of the Amazon Karaoke machines... which (to me) means the mfr focused more on "show" and less on function and Quality. Their small size also told me that their sound output was probably well below my "acceptable minimum". I had decided to use a small guitar powered speaker we have in order to get a decent full-range sound... and when I found this product, its versatility convinced me. One feature that I didn't remember reading was about the Bluetooth Audio Input... versus using a cable (either can be used). This allows the use of a spare Android tablet for the YouTube Karaoke videos "up close", and leaving this mixer and my speaker anywhere in the room we want to... without cables between. The wireless microphones work perfect, and I'm again... pleasantly surprised that they have automatic UHF channel assignment, ensuring no interference from anything else. The wired microphone input is another "plus", as it allows us to use a couple of professional dynamic mics we already had, if we feel the need to "upgrade". The Echo function works perfect, and really does help by increasing the "presence", and feel like you're part of the original recording, and not just a cheap voice-over. (it also helps hide imperfections of our singing!) Oh... and it even came with a set of AA Alkaline batteries for the wireless microphones... nice. Five stars! Hopefully it lasts a good while, but so far it has all the signs of a quality product that should last for years. (I've been an electronics product design engineer since the late 70's, so hopefully my experience has guided me to this :)

There is a HUGE delay from the mic to the speaker of the TV even though had the echo turned all the way down. It made it impossible to sing along to anything.

The price is right. Everything works as it should. Mixer volumes work. Microphones work with good range. Reverb/echo control is basic, but good enough. It looks good, but feels cheap because it's so lightweight, thin plastic knobs that easily rock side-to-side. Just loking at it, looks pro though. My real complaints: 1) There's hissing. 2) Powering off doesn't bypass the mixer, it cuts off the signal completely. The mixer has hissing, very noticeable when there's silence. If your setup is only being used for Karaoke this is no problem because you'll just turn off the power to everything when you're done. But if you have this mixer connected in your entertainment sytem (for instance, TV and AVR), the hissing is there during moments of low sound during movies or music. The hissing also there when you turn off the TV if your AVR is left on. A simple solution would be to turn off the mixer, but you can't because the mixer is in between your TV and the amplifier (or AVR in my case). This mixer doesn't bypass when you turn it off. It cuts off the signal completely. So without it, you get no sound.

My setup was tv (output was labeled for headphones) to mixer using aux audio cable and mixer to mini speaker using another aux audio cable. No hdmi to avoid delays. This worked great for karaoke using youtube but the mixer can also connect via Bluetooth to a phone if you want apple music’s karaoke feature for example. I added a mini disco ball and a string of led lights for a karaoke party and the setup was quick and easy as well as cleanup. These are all in a bag now as my “karaoke party kit”. Will be adding zills and a tambourine soon to make it a “Turkish karaoke party kit” 😁 No bulky speaker to deal with and the price is good. I’m super happy with my purchase.

HDMI connection is not working. Good idea but needs more improvement. Should be plug and play. Received this wireless microphone system and spent a few hours trying to set it up but nothing worked. I had to return it because I didn't want to spend more time messing around with it.

I play the Native American style flute, and I perform concerts from time to time using a lot of backing tracks that are stored on my phone. My previous setup was to plug my wired microphone into my speaker, and then use bluetooth to send the backing tracks from my phone into the same speaker. The problem with this was that my backing tracks all had different volume levels, and I would have to adjust the volume on my phone (which is on a tripod next to me when I perform). I couldn't have someone adjust the volume on the speaker, because that would adjust the volume of my flute playing into the wired mic as well as the volume on the backing track. So ... I was looking for an audio mixer that would have separate volume controls for my wired microphone and for my backing tracks. Most of the audio mixers and karaoke machines I looked at had only a master volume control that would simultaneously adjust mic volume and backing track volume -- so I was very happy when I found this product. Here's my setup now with this audio mixer. Because the mixer has bluetooth, I connect my phone to the audio mixer instead of directly to my speaker. Then I use an aux cable to connect the "aux out" on the mixer to the "aux in" on my speaker. That takes care of the backing tracks, and I can have another person sit by the audio mixer to adjust the big "Music" volume dial as needed for the different backing tracks. For my flute playing, I connect my wired microphone directly into one of the two microphone jacks on the front of the audio mixer. I set the volume dial for that microphone at a given level and leave it there for the entire concert, since I don't need volume adjustments for my flute playing. I also set the "echo" dial at a certain level for my flute playing into the wired microphone, but the echo has to be turned all the way down when I talk into one of the hand-held microphones that comes with this audio mixer. I do wish there were separate echo dials for the wired microphone and the hand-held microphone!! (NOTE: If the wired microphone is plugged into the "mic 2" jack on the front of the mixer, then you have to use the blue hand-held microphone that connects with the "mic 1" volume dial.) I would have been happy to just find an audio mixer that had separate volume controls for my backing tracks and my flute playing, but the addition of the hand-held microphones is a plus for me. (One mic would have been enough for my needs.) I do some talking between the songs I play, and my wired microphone is set at a lower height than my face because that's where the flute's sound hole is. So in the past, I had to bend down to speak into the wired microphone. Now I can just grab the hand-held mike when I talk, and remain upright! The volume for the hand-held mic can be controlled separately from the volume for the wired mic, and the volume can stay at a given level thoughout the concert. There are two things that would make this product even better. First, as I mentioned earlier, I wish there were separate "echo" dials for mic 1 and mic 2, since I use one mic for flute playing and the other for talking. Secondly, it would be really nice if the big "Music" volume dial had numbers written around the outside so that you could establish a specific numeric volume level for each backing track in advance, and have that written down on a sheet for the person who is running the audio mixer. Overall, this is a great product for my purposes. Even though it was kind of pricey at $100, I'm glad I bought it.

Spent an hour trying to find a workaround for the big delay that happens when you do HDMI out to your TV. If you’re like me and wanted a simple hookup, this is not the item for you. It works fine IF you’re using an external audio (with a normal speaker connector or Bluetooth to an external speaker), but if you want something simple - HDMI out to your TV and computer IN via HDMI (i.e. stream youtbube karaoke from your laptop), you’ll be disappointed. I have a TV with a Sonos speaker system that’s plenty loud. I hooked up my MacBook HDMI out to this unit’s HDMI in, and then this unit’s HDMI out to my TV’s HDMI in, and the video played, the music played, everything looked fine…BUT, when you go to sing in the mic, there’s a significant delay of about 1 second, so that when I hear my voice come out of the TV speakers along with the music, it’s OFF by about a second, which ruins this for karaoke. Bummer, as this is a good unit otherwise. I also tried loading the youtube app onto my TV and avoiding the MacBook altogether, but it’s still an issue - the HDMI out from this unit to the TV still has a delay when it comes out of the TV speakers. Wish they had a little 1-2 second tuner ON this unit, so that you could simply adjust the delay with a knob. It’d be amazing if it had that. For now, returning it, and going to get something else. NOTE: if you have a great external speaker and - as other reviewers recommend - you can just run the screen with your TV and all audio (the mic and the music) with a separate audio-out cable (like the one they include), then this probably would work fine. I just don’t want the hassle of a separate speaker system. Was hoping this could all work with just my TV setup.
