Karaoke is a popular entertainment that cannot leave anyone indifferent. With it, you can feel like a real singer, even if you have never made music. Increasingly, karaoke lovers prefer to organize it at home, rather than go to special cafes. And there are several reasons for this: from the shyness of singing in front of the audience to the reluctance to constantly wait for their turn.
Undoubtedly, the microphone is the most important element of karaoke. How is the karaoke microphone different from the usual one and how to choose the one that is ideal for you?
The device and principle of operation of a wireless microphone for karaoke
Such devices are wireless, that is, either Bluetooth or another method that does not require a cable is used to connect them. This is very convenient, since during singing people usually become very emotional, dance and move around the room in every way, and if there was a wire, it would be very difficult to do.
The device of such an accessory is not much different from an ordinary sound amplifier. The voice passes through a special membrane, which allows it to sound louder. Of course, home karaoke does not require strong voice amplification - you will probably be heard this way in the apartment, but without the microphone, the whole atmosphere and the charm of this entertainment are lost.
In addition, very often such devices have special effects that make the performance more fun - for example, an echo. The signal in such a microphone is transmitted using radio waves.
IMPORTANT! Note that the microphone will not work at any distance. It is important to be close to the unit to which the accessory is connected. In most models, the operating range is 5-60 meters.
What to look for when choosing a Bluetooth microphone
The variety of assortment provided in the modern market is truly amazing. How to choose among this huge number of microphones suitable?
To do this, you need to know the main selection criteria that you should pay attention to.
First of all, find out if the accessory is compatible with your computer or TV, depending on which unit you plan to connect it to. This is one of the most important points, because in case of an error, nothing can be fixed and you only have to buy a new device.
Then study the technical specifications - sensitivity level, range, battery capacity and others. After that, try to hold the microphone in your hand - it should lie comfortably and not be too heavy. Large dimensions can interfere with enjoyment of entertainment.
Price also plays an important role. The cheapest models tend to disappoint. Therefore, do not be tempted by cheapness and choose only the accessory that really suits you. But it’s also not worth overpaying - too expensive devices probably have a large number of functions that you will never need.
How to connect a wireless microphone
When the unit has already been purchased, it remains only to connect it correctly. There should be no difficulty with this.
Some models are equipped with special receivers, with which a signal will be sent. In this case, you should connect such a receiver to the necessary device, as well as to the microphone, using the necessary output. After that, turn on the accessory, charge it and set it to the necessary parameters.
Devices that connect via Bluetooth are even easier to connect. To do this, you only need the unit with the presence of this function - for example, a laptop. Turn on Bluetooth and look for your microphone in the list that appears. When the connection is established, perform the settings in the "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel section. There you can choose the necessary volume and sensitivity of the microphone, noise reduction and other parameters.
Before starting use, you can set the desired effect. Do not forget to download the karaoke application, from where the songs will be played. When all of the above procedures are completed, you can begin to have fun.
Now you know how a microphone for karaoke works, what is its difference from other similar devices and how to connect it correctly. Considering all the above important criteria, the selected accessory will have only the most useful functions and a minimum number of disadvantages, without which no technique can do. If you have all the necessary elements, you can arrange real karaoke at home and enjoy your favorite songs alone, or together with your closest friends and relatives.
