great vid, simple & straight- now its 2022 - wud u mind updating this w newer/cheaper tech- so that its fully modular (if mics break just replace those)- perhaps using a separate bluetooth +physical mixer
All you need is 1 bose s1 pro Bluetooth speaker, and a pair of wireless microphones, and an iPad or something and you have a system that can easily fill a room of 50 people with ease.
Very enjoyable video. I got a kick out of the family pets too! I just ran a karaoke set up on Saturday for a friend's retirement party and used Karafun 2 software. As long as they offer the short term subscription, I will never again use the old CDG discs that I've had since the 1990's. It just so much easier and you have access to over 30,000 songs for only $6 for a 2-day subscription. Since I was at a remote location with no internet access other than tethering my computer to my phone's hotspot, I downloaded about 1000 songs to my laptop prior to the party. Each song is about 5 meg, so it took awhile to do this on my home network. Glad I did, because the 8 to 10 songs I downloaded at the party using my phone's data connection took about 1 minute each. Not bad, but it does delay things a bit. I did have trouble balancing the music and the singers. This is partly due to the fact I had never used the software and the piecemeal equipment set up I was using. For example, my mixer had an overall volume and each microphone had its own. To bring up the music I had to simultaneously lower the mic inputs to minimize feedback. I had two types of input; a portable karaoke system that John mentions in the video (for background music) and my laptop. Each input had different output levels going to the mixer, which meant I had to constantly adjust volume levels as I switched back and forth between the two. The issue was the singers who had vastly different experience using microphones or doing karaoke. Singing either too far or too close to the mic, moving it around that occasionally brought feedback into the mix, etc. We did have someone who was a real singer, and she sounded very good once I dialed her mic into the music. Holding the mic properly, pulling it further away when she hit some high notes, and minmizing random movements are all good habits. My next step is trying to integrate the microphones into the computer for a more unified control of the mix. Would be nice to be able to control the mic levels and effects from the same device providing the music & lyrics.
Nice video. Hope you don’t mind me posting here how I setup my karaoke system. Mine is almost totally wireless with a couple of provisos. A smart TV ( Vizio )with Bluetooth and a PA system ( Absolute ) with bluetooth, 2000 watts, came with 2 wireless mics, rechargeable battery, and has echo, bass and treble functions. I pair the TV and PA so all sounds come from TV to the PA ( no lag at all ) then with my phone go to RUclips, search for any karaoke videos and cast ( mirror ) it to my TV. If the PA’s battery is fully charged I don’t even need it plugged into a wall outlet, runs for like 4-5 hours full blast. If everyone in the room is connected to the same wifi they can pick a song in RUclips in their own phones, and it will automatically queue up so your guest doesn’t have to bug you and you don’t have to ask each and everyone their request. Heck you don’t even need a TV at all. Last 4th of July we took the PA to Second Beach near Forks Wa. Paired it with my IPad and everyone there friends and strangers had a hell of a good time. I got the PA at Fry’s Electronics for $199 on sale and if your smart TV doesn’t have Bluetooth, you can get a Bluetooth receiver/transmitter in Amazon for $20 and if you don’t have a smart TV you can get a Chromecast or something similar.
@@stephanieknecht9914 I kinda detailed most of it from my post above as to what TV and speaker you need. i don't know where you're from but i got the TV at Bestbuy and the PA speaker at Fry's electronics, just make sure the PA speaker has bluetooth, echo,treble and bass functions, has a built in battery so you don't need an external power source. the PA i got ( brand name is Absolute ) came with 2 wireless mics not the best quality but very good enough for casual get together. also depends on how loud you want it. mine has 2000 watts and that can get really loud. do not get a PA speaker with less than 500 watts ( The DIY couple's PA speaker is actually a very brand ) Fry's has a lot of selection some of them come with like dancing lights and sound effects. sorry i don't have a channel.
Steve Armstrong Is there anyway we can skip on a PA speaker and just have the mic and music coming from the tv/sound system we already have with the tv?
PachiaY Lee then you should follow John’s advice. Get a mixer to connect your mic and sound system together. If you’re gonna use your TV’s stock speaker the sounds won’t be great even with a mixer. But if you have a surround system then a mixer is all you need.
I have the the same setup but i found out tht a non wireless microphone is better..well it depends on brand and the amount of money..and get more output mixer with fx on it...i got small one but end up to buy a bigger mixer with fx on it
For a beginner like me, it would be helpful if you would walk thru and show how the part of connecting all the cable to the speaker, laptop, mixer, etc
Just saw this comment in a previous video "THIS is how you RUclips! you make a 1 minute video for a tip, not a 10+ minute video with an intro and a vlog and a quick trip to the store and an interview and a review and an outro. good job Techmoan"
Thanks for the video. I bought the Fifine mics and its base actually is a mixer by itself. I went with the apple tv Airplay route. From AppleTV to TV I used HDMI, from apple tv to mic base optical to Analog transformer. From Mic Base to Home theater 1/8 stereo plug to RCA
Great info, thanks! BUT..the best part of the video is your cat laying on the box! We have a tabby cat that climbs in any and every box we get and open!
Thank you great information 1 question you mentioned Karafun how is the quality of music is it original sound . Is there another provider besides Karafun. Thank you.
Hi: We were using my high end stereo for karaoke. The distortion blew one of my power amp channels. I bought a second hand complete karaoke system for my wife. Now we have own separate systems. I didn't ask for a demonstration. I just didn't unhook anything, thought bring it home, power up, wife be Whitney Houston lol. No sound. The lady moved back to China. OOOPS - HELP please!!!! Components: 1. Behringer Power Amp 2. Muzio MX8000 Pre- Amp, Effect, Mixer 3. Muzio U-9900PRO for Wireless Mics 4. Muzio (black box with no dials/switches) Must be a hard drive or something 5. Touch Screen with very elaborate menu, ie., artist, country, language, etc. If I click artist and country, thousands of artists from that country would appear with pictures attached, then click song that we want. Seems like a lot of songs are stored (maybe previous owner's favourite), some need to be downloaded. Powered up. All set to go, Pick song, I can see a small meter moving (indicator of something playing), but no sound lol.
Thanks for this video. Very helpful. I Ike how you unbox and explain it. ..your cat and dog are fun to watch too. Include them again in your future videos . Where do you control the echo of mic??
i think you overbought stuffs boss, im a dj and im going to be getting my first karaoke gig in july (goodluck to me lol), but im thinking just to connect two wired microphones to the active speaker and use an aux wire from my laptop to the same active speaker while hdmi split the visuals to a TV. Cos my speaker and most speakers does have mic and line out control separate, only thing is i wont be able to add the reverb which to me is fine, and if i must i can just make the connections tru my NS7ii dj set. i think thats it. dont u think thats just simpler and cheaper if i might add lol.
He didn't necessarily overbuy. I use a separate Yamaha mixer that I paid $200 for at Guitar Center, and then use laptop connected to mixer and mixer connected to the powered speakers and HDMI from laptop to TV. With the mixer I get better sound and more inputs. Sometimes we connect 4 mics at once for background vocals or duets and just having fun. I have more effects and overall better control over the sound with the mixer. Also, my wife's mic requires Phantom Power so I needed a mixer with +48v Phantom. I can also connect my laptop via USB which provides 24-bit/192kHz. I guess it depends on how serious you are into Karyoke. My wife and her sisters are all singers so they tend to enjoy a really good setup for Karyoke. If you want an okay system then by all means get a set of affordable powered PA speakers with built in mixer or an all in one system with powered mixer, but for those that want a higher quality sound and/or more power I recommend spending a little extra on speakers and a separate mixer.
How did you connect the laptop to your tv I guess you use the HDMI and sound from your computer. How did achieve the sound from mixer, If you use HDMi?
Anybody can help me here...i have a home theater sony...and a mic..for videoke...if i am using dvd or cd mode the mic is working....but the thing is id i connect my ipad bluetooth to home theater bcoz the ipad is connected to internet so meaning i can search any song from youtube...now if i put the home theater in bluetooth mode to connect in ipad...the microphone is not working....i badly need it for tonights occassion...please help me how solve this problem
that was an awesome explanation of everything. Question; can a speaker like the "ION tailgater plus speaker" with just an aux cable input work well in place of the kind of speaker you have. its also an active speaker. thanks for reply.
Do you like the Rockville speaker? Does it still work great? They have excellent ratings on Amazon, but after digging further into the company, most people are saying their products are not reliable.
Thanks for the video mate, it was very helpful. I just didn't understand if it gives you the score with this setup? I don't see the microphone being fed back to the PC so the karaoke app could analyse how good/bad you are.
Thanks for the video! I purchased the same setup an noticed you don’t get hardly any of the bass/low notes on mic one or two, even with the low knobs all the way up. Looks like the EXT IN, (1/8” stereo Jack), is the best way to add true audio in. Probably wouldn’t need the 1/4” stereo cable and the 1/8” adapter for your computer, since the microphones come with a 1/8” male to male stereo Jack. Don’t really know for sure if this is the right way, but any input /advice would be appreciated. Thanks again!
Do we need a separate speaker? Is there any way to just make the sound come from the tv’s speakers or the sound system that we already have for the tv? Please let me know. I’d really appreciate! TIA!
Hi Very good information. I have a amplifier with surround sound, bu the volume from the microphone is weak, how can i enhance that. Thank you in anticipation.
I have over 2000 karaoke tracks on my laptop so I think this setup will work for me when I’m at my mom’s who doesn’t have internet. Come to think of it I may not need the mixer. There is echo effect on the mic receiver... going to watch again to see benefit of the mixer. One thing, does the echo effect only effect the mics or would it effect the computer input too?
I don’t know much about this, so I am confused. So are Fifine microphones with the receiver is not part of a karaoke system itself ?? Are they just basically wireless microphones ?
can you please provide link from amazon for the other cables? An HDMI cable (connecting your laptop/device to a TV) A 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adapter, and a 1/4 inch male-to-male audio cable (to connect your laptop's audio output into the mixer) Thanks so much.
In regard to those who mention recording performers 'real-time': This, in my opinion and through trial and error, is NOT as simple as some might think it is. It had been simple enough at one time, but since Windows 10 this all changed for me and I watched as it happened and began to fail. Ans so, a couple of points from someone (which, of course is myself) who struggled at the exact same point every time and where setting up used to be the simplest part but no longer is in regard to using an Windows 10 itself to record the exact same sounds of music, vocals and even video recording at the same time, in real time through a PC / Laptop: I really cannot solve how best to do recording in real-time any more using a PC. Recording video (using an attached webcam) music and vocals is no longer a breeze. I never even used a mixing deck, but instead an external sound-card which I used with earlier PC's I'd built myself and had the absolute minimum of fuss without a nest of cabling. It really used to be that simple. A simple USB cable from external sound-card linked to the PC, a mic attached to the external sound-card and there was nothing more needed. Back then it was called 'What You Hear Is What You Get' and it was a simple click on a radar button to set the entire thing up, Windows itseld configured WYHIWYG but I have yet to find out what was replaced for this simple WYHIWYG system as it was some years ago. It's a question / problem I have scoured the Internet with that, it seems, no-one appears to have the answer. Regardless of how I try to set my sound-card (either internal and external) which appears should be a simple task I cannot get this to work ‘Karaoke-style’ and I have over 50 Karaoke tracks of me singing with video using only an external sound-card. The closest I did get (after Windows 10) was with so much latency that it was totally impossible to sing in 'real-time' WITH video both recording at the same time. I truly don't think anyone has a solution in using a simple external sound-card; I've tried everything, nothing works. If someone says they have a solution I'd be more than happy to hear it :-) ~F~
@@ethelgarland Hi Steve. Imagine, if you will, yourself singing for pleasure. The only difference is that you are singing Karaoke but with no audience because that's all some people are looking for. In essence, Going back more than 10 years ago I could either hear music through my speakers whilst using a mic ... or ... I could use headphones which meant only I heard the music coming FROM my PC whilst I sang into the mic: It meant that only sound heard would be my vocals going INTO my PC and nothing else. Back then I used (for free) Windows Sound Recorder to record both music and vocals. It was that easy; basic, simple and needed only either a Laptop or PC. So simple. In the same way, a good, mid-range soundbar would be enough to fill more than a small room and you really need nothing else. The only issue you have then is getting a mic INTO the TV so both music and vocals are heard. There are many ways to do this that I've seen. What appears to be the simplest solution being attaching a sound mixer to your TV using AV leads (I think most TV's no longer have AV In and Out leads although I might be corrected here. HDMI link IN to TV with AV links to a sound mixer seems a good idea. But in either case, it's way to much fuss for what I need it for. I'm not sure I really answered your question here ... in which case I'm sorry in not being helpful ~F~
Couldn't you have just use the mic receiver as the mixer for the computer and mic instead of the Alesis if you didn't need all the bells and whistles ?
@@thatdiycouple5513 I have a Smart TV with a separate AV receiver with passive speakers. I was thinking of how to rig up a karaoke system when I saw your yt video. I was thinking of using chromecast to get the karaoke AV to the TV, then convert the audio out using a toslink to RCA converter and pipe that output into the input of Fifine wireless Microphone Mixer that you have and then take the RCA output of that and input it to the RCA CD/DVD input of the AV receiver. Thats why I was wondering why would i need the Alesis mixer. I am also wondering if I would get any sound delay.
@@thatdiycouple5513 I just got the Fifine today and hooked it up. Was kinda of tricky because the Smart TV was controlling the A/V so had to switch off the auto syncing so that the A/V would read the composite input instead of HDMI ARC. The TV stereo audio output plugged into Fifine then from there to input of A/V amp using CD input. The Fifine controls the TV input music volume with the music knob but I also can control it remotely from the TV volume. Mic volume on the Fifine was good enough for both mics and the A/V amp took both mixtures and wow , everything worked. I left the microphone audio at 50%. All the necessary cables worked out too. I didn't have to get a Toslink converter , I used the TV's earphone jack and the stereo to RCA cable that was supplied. Not sure the Fifine is worth $$$ bucks, but it works.
Bellagio - Appreciate if you could do a video about your setup. I am setting up a similar Karaoke with LG 4k TV and yamaha rx-579 receiver. I have ordered my mixer and will use Fifine K025 wireless microphone. My LG tv has only one optical audio out. That is another challenge to figure out the connections. Kindly do a video. It will help many. Thanks!!!
@@PrakshGo Just get a toslink to RCA adaptor on amazon. Make sure its has SPDIF optical and not just SPDIF coaxial. The TV optical goes into the converter and the RCA output goes to the input of your mixer. Then add the K025 to your mixer and the output of the mixer to one of your composite inputs of your rx 579. I don't know how smart your TV is to know if you want sound output to go to optical (sometimes called PCM) or to your HDMI ARC (if your using that) , you might have to switch it manually. I didn't use my optical output, my Sony has a earphone output so I used the cable Fifine came with so didn't have to use an adapter. What mixer did you get ?
I guessing you hooked up the hdmi to usb on laptop. Was wondering if i could connect the same setup with a good sound bar and smart tv ? I pretty much have all the same equipment you have, but if i could eliminate the laptop and active speakers.
i think its possible and it also gave me an idea that i could also use my android box to do the karaoke. KARAFUN - ANDROID BOX - TV - SPEAKER & MIC - SPEAKER...
That DIY Couple , could you explain more on how you hookup up the TV to laptop? Could you hookup the TV directly to mixer and stream the laptop KaraFun to smart TV or Smart box , i have the Nvidia Shield Pro basically a smart android box. Don’t want to use the TV speakers of course. I have a smart tv but don’t have the AUX option to hookup directly to mixer, wondering all the different ways to hookup from TV to mixer.
Thank you for making the how to video! I already have my receiver and speaker connected to my display. How do I go about connecting it all together with the mixer and mics? I guess my short question is, will your set up work with an existing receiver and speakers? Thanks for any comments!
Using laptop is ok but but kinda hustle a bit, here in our country it's easy to buy USB/ karaoke dvd player with built in songs and remote control, just buy an audio amp with speaker or 2.1 speaker mic input and finished
@@thatdiycouple5513 lots of it, Wait try to visit china town or Filipino Store there in your area most probably you'll find one a Karaoke Dvdplayer the new ones is with Usb stick flash drive player with thousand songs, media com, Tj, platinum, megapro
I have a PA system, how do I connect a monitor to my laptop which has a karaoke app on it to my laptop so I can get lyrics up on a separate monitor. Many thanks
Female DJ Frizzie , i connect my iPad or I phone to my TV to watch RUclips. 1- you need to have an “Apple TV”. It costs about $120. Connect the the Apple TV to the TV by wire (HIMD) 2- Then you turn on “Screen Mirroring” from your IPad. Whatever on your IPad or Iphone will be shown on the TV. Make sure your IPad and your the Apple TV connected to the same WiFii.
That DIY Couple thank you for your response. I have scarlet 18i20. I am not sure if this has a USB out. Will check the mixer you used in the video. Thanks again.
Use youtube as your karaoke...then mirror your phone or tablet...much better..then get much better mixer with like at least 8 or more channel coz it has fx on it...and i will control how much echo you need
Reason I'm looking at all this stuff I went to a friend's house his karaoke blue away power sing karaoke machine he said his music was free from RUclips if Cara I'm wondering about this because you said you had to pay for Cara I'm talking to my text so forgive the spelling I know how to spell Keira I do not want a monthly fee for my karaoke any suggestions anybody
so u have an above 1K setup for home karaoke... and then u r taking the signal out with a 3.5 audio jack............ seriously..,if ur going to use a 3.5 out for audio out just buy the 10usd karaoke mic..... with a setup such as this... u should use a USB for the minimum quality.
the cat! how beautiful! it's so cute how cat's like boxes
This guys explains things better than my current professors :S
Love the cat in the box

Do you like the Rockville speaker? Does it still work great? They have excellent ratings on Amazon, but after digging further into the company, most people are saying their products are not reliable.
@@thatdiycouple5513 Thank you!!
What about a Voice Pitch Correction unit?
Was going to buy BOSE S1 but Best Buy said it’s not for Karaoke??? Advice?.
great to finally have someone else do the research ...still a work in progress but not anxious to buy such a heavy speaker ..great insight
Thanks for the video mate, it was very helpful. I just didn't understand if it gives you the score with this setup? I don't see the microphone being fed back to the PC so the karaoke app could analyse how good/bad you are.
Thanks for the video! I purchased the same setup an noticed you don’t get hardly any of the bass/low notes on mic one or two, even with the low knobs all the way up. Looks like the EXT IN, (1/8” stereo Jack), is the best way to add true audio in. Probably wouldn’t need the 1/4” stereo cable and the 1/8” adapter for your computer, since the microphones come with a 1/8” male to male stereo Jack. Don’t really know for sure if this is the right way, but any input /advice would be appreciated. Thanks again!
Do we need a separate speaker? Is there any way to just make the sound come from the tv’s speakers or the sound system that we already have for the tv? Please let me know. I’d really appreciate! TIA!
Hope you have a diagram for the connections you did especially the computer to mixer
You did a really good job brother
He did, makes you hope he invites you over to sing and drink!!
Thanks for the great DIY tip.... just a thought; can i use my own music in laptop and use this system? if yes then what I will loose on.
Not sure of anyone asked but could you use computer speakers and some how plug that to the mixer?
the speaker has a built in aimplifier/mixer it seems, can't you plug it to the laptop directly without an additional mixer?
Hi Very good information. I have a amplifier with surround sound, bu the volume from the microphone is weak, how can i enhance that. Thank you in anticipation.
Use RCA to Audio then it should single you voice to the centre speaker then you can raise the volume, careful you don't damage your speaker
I have over 2000 karaoke tracks on my laptop so I think this setup will work for me when I’m at my mom’s who doesn’t have internet. Come to think of it I may not need the mixer. There is echo effect on the mic receiver... going to watch again to see benefit of the mixer. One thing, does the echo effect only effect the mics or would it effect the computer input too?
@@thatdiycouple5513 Some more vids of y'all just singing karaoke would be beast
I don’t know much about this, so I am confused. So are Fifine microphones with the receiver is not part of a karaoke system itself ?? Are they just basically wireless microphones ?
can you please provide link from amazon for the other cables? An HDMI cable (connecting your laptop/device to a TV) A 3.5mm to 1/4 inch adapter, and a 1/4 inch male-to-male audio cable (to connect your laptop's audio output into the mixer) Thanks so much.

Hi ,can I connect the fifine microphone directly to the speaker without using the mixer?

@hellenismosadventure yep they are perfect!
In regard to those who mention recording performers 'real-time': This, in my opinion and through trial and error, is NOT as simple as some might think it is. It had been simple enough at one time, but since Windows 10 this all changed for me and I watched as it happened and began to fail. Ans so, a couple of points from someone (which, of course is myself) who struggled at the exact same point every time and where setting up used to be the simplest part but no longer is in regard to using an Windows 10 itself to record the exact same sounds of music, vocals and even video recording at the same time, in real time through a PC / Laptop:
I really cannot solve how best to do recording in real-time any more using a PC. Recording video (using an attached webcam) music and vocals is no longer a breeze. I never even used a mixing deck, but instead an external sound-card which I used with earlier PC's I'd built myself and had the absolute minimum of fuss without a nest of cabling. It really used to be that simple. A simple USB cable from external sound-card linked to the PC, a mic attached to the external sound-card and there was nothing more needed. Back then it was called 'What You Hear Is What You Get' and it was a simple click on a radar button to set the entire thing up, Windows itseld configured WYHIWYG but I have yet to find out what was replaced for this simple WYHIWYG system as it was some years ago. It's a question / problem I have scoured the Internet with that, it seems, no-one appears to have the answer.
Regardless of how I try to set my sound-card (either internal and external) which appears should be a simple task I cannot get this to work ‘Karaoke-style’ and I have over 50 Karaoke tracks of me singing with video using only an external sound-card. The closest I did get (after Windows 10) was with so much latency that it was totally impossible to sing in 'real-time' WITH video both recording at the same time.
I truly don't think anyone has a solution in using a simple external sound-card; I've tried everything, nothing works. If someone says they have a solution I'd be more than happy to hear it :-)

Wow. So useful and clear info. QUESTION if your TV has a soundbar and a couple of rear speakers in a small room, do we need another $peaker❓
@@ethelgarland Hi Steve. Imagine, if you will, yourself singing for pleasure. The only difference is that you are singing Karaoke but with no audience because that's all some people are looking for. In essence, Going back more than 10 years ago I could either hear music through my speakers whilst using a mic ... or ... I could use headphones which meant only I heard the music coming FROM my PC whilst I sang into the mic: It meant that only sound heard would be my vocals going INTO my PC and nothing else. Back then I used (for free) Windows Sound Recorder to record both music and vocals. It was that easy; basic, simple and needed only either a Laptop or PC. So simple.
In the same way, a good, mid-range soundbar would be enough to fill more than a small room and you really need nothing else. The only issue you have then is getting a mic INTO the TV so both music and vocals are heard. There are many ways to do this that I've seen. What appears to be the simplest solution being attaching a sound mixer to your TV using AV leads (I think most TV's no longer have AV In and Out leads although I might be corrected here. HDMI link IN to TV with AV links to a sound mixer seems a good idea. But in either case, it's way to much fuss for what I need it for.
I'm not sure I really answered your question here ... in which case I'm sorry in not being helpful

I write my own lyrics and want to put it on the flat screen tv instead lookin at the paper what machines do that and how do I do that ?
Write the lyrics down in your laptop and display your laptop on the tv
You use lap top but can you use iphone ?
Couldn't you have just use the mic receiver as the mixer for the computer and mic instead of the Alesis if you didn't need all the bells and whistles ?
@@thatdiycouple5513 I have a Smart TV with a separate AV receiver with passive speakers. I was thinking of how to rig up a karaoke system when I saw your yt video. I was thinking of using chromecast to get the karaoke AV to the TV, then convert the audio out using a toslink to RCA converter and pipe that output into the input of Fifine wireless Microphone Mixer that you have and then take the RCA output of that and input it to the RCA CD/DVD input of the AV receiver. Thats why I was wondering why would i need the Alesis mixer. I am also wondering if I would get any sound delay.
@@thatdiycouple5513 I just got the Fifine today and hooked it up. Was kinda of tricky because the Smart TV was controlling the A/V so had to switch off the auto syncing so that the A/V would read the composite input instead of HDMI ARC. The TV stereo audio output plugged into Fifine then from there to input of A/V amp using CD input. The Fifine controls the TV input music volume with the music knob but I also can control it remotely from the TV volume. Mic volume on the Fifine was good enough for both mics and the A/V amp took both mixtures and wow , everything worked. I left the microphone audio at 50%. All the necessary cables worked out too. I didn't have to get a Toslink converter , I used the TV's earphone jack and the stereo to RCA cable that was supplied. Not sure the Fifine is worth $$$ bucks, but it works.
Bellagio - Appreciate if you could do a video about your setup. I am setting up a similar Karaoke with LG 4k TV and yamaha rx-579 receiver. I have ordered my mixer and will use Fifine K025 wireless microphone. My LG tv has only one optical audio out. That is another challenge to figure out the connections. Kindly do a video. It will help many. Thanks!!!
@@PrakshGo Just get a toslink to RCA adaptor on amazon. Make sure its has SPDIF optical and not just SPDIF coaxial. The TV optical goes into the converter and the RCA output goes to the input of your mixer. Then add the K025 to your mixer and the output of the mixer to one of your composite inputs of your rx 579. I don't know how smart your TV is to know if you want sound output to go to optical (sometimes called PCM) or to your HDMI ARC (if your using that) , you might have to switch it manually. I didn't use my optical output, my Sony has a earphone output so I used the cable Fifine came with so didn't have to use an adapter. What mixer did you get ?
Bellagio - Thank you! Will give a try once my mixer is delivered. I ordered “Alto Professional ZMX52”
I guessing you hooked up the hdmi to usb on laptop. Was wondering if i could connect the same setup with a good sound bar and smart tv ? I pretty much have all the same equipment you have, but if i could eliminate the laptop and active speakers.
i think its possible and it also gave me an idea that i could also use my android box to do the karaoke. KARAFUN - ANDROID BOX - TV - SPEAKER & MIC - SPEAKER...
That DIY Couple , could you explain more on how you hookup up the TV to laptop? Could you hookup the TV directly to mixer and stream the laptop KaraFun to smart TV or Smart box , i have the Nvidia Shield Pro basically a smart android box. Don’t want to use the TV speakers of course. I have a smart tv but don’t have the AUX option to hookup directly to mixer, wondering all the different ways to hookup from TV to mixer.
Hello can I use monitor of computer as tv of videoke?? please reponse.thank u😘
Thank you for making the how to video! I already have my receiver and speaker connected to my display. How do I go about connecting it all together with the mixer and mics? I guess my short question is, will your set up work with an existing receiver and speakers? Thanks for any comments!
$67 for that Mic set-up!! Not bad at all, Thanks!!
Using laptop is ok but but kinda hustle a bit, here in our country it's easy to buy USB/ karaoke dvd player with built in songs and remote control, just buy an audio amp with speaker or 2.1 speaker mic input and finished

@@thatdiycouple5513 Now thats an even way cooler idea, didnt cross my mind. but how does one go about connecting ipad to tv?
Female DJ Frizzie , i connect my iPad or I phone to my TV to watch RUclips.
1- you need to have an “Apple TV”. It costs about $120. Connect the the Apple TV to the TV by wire (HIMD)
2- Then you turn on “Screen Mirroring” from your IPad. Whatever on your IPad or Iphone will be shown on the TV. Make sure your IPad and your the Apple TV connected to the same WiFii.
Man, go easy on that intro volume !

Use youtube as your karaoke...then mirror your phone or tablet...much better..then get much better mixer with like at least 8 or more channel coz it has fx on it...and i will control how much echo you need
