Sound Town 16 Channels Wireless Microphone Karaoke Mixer System w/ 2 Wireless Mics, HD ARC, Optical (Toslink), AUX, Supports Smart TV, Media Box, PC, Bluetooth, Soundbar, Receiver (SWM15-MAX)

I am an audio enthusiasts and have semi pro dj set-up for small events, mostly karaoke. I can't use it at home , it will be over kill. I was looking for a small set-up for home karaoke , something minimalist to match my jamo and klipsch home audio and found this absolutely beautiful small but powerful home karaoke unit. Pros - quality build, mic response, clarity, simplicity, price, multiple options for input and output [hdmi and optical] wow. I got compliments today 1st time using it. Cons - non so far, but I hope this unit lasts longer as I plan to use it weekly. Lastly, im using the TV optical output to this unit then output optical to my Denon receiver, so then I have options to use the different audio settings, not just plain stereo. Amazing sound quality. Buy it, you won't be disappointed. 06/19 update , I tried using it for a small bday event about 100 people and open air venue. The performance was okay but it drops ones in a while when your about 50ft or more away. I still get nice voice quality though.

I bought the 1st unit for my dad but he couldn’t figure out why it’s not working for him and he lives in another state. After I got the 2nd unit, I found out that it needs an HDMI arc/8K capable cable. A regular HDMI cable won’t work. Great value for the money. It’s a very good and portable karaoke set up that can hook up to many different sound systems. The mic could use compression but it’s good nonetheless. I would’ve given it 5 stars if it came with the right HDMI cable.

I really love it! It works better than the one I haved, It sounds clear and loud.

This product deserves 0 stars. No exaggeration. I work in electronics repair and build audio equipment for my home studio in my spare time. I would not recommend anyone purchase this product. My wife has been begging for a karaoke microphone to use recreationally at home. I found this product while watching an LTT video on YouTube and liked the idea of being able to keep this plugged into an Apple TV in our living room. Its simple enough that my technologically challenged wife should have no issue using it when I'm not around. I read reviews that there is some delay and other reviews that it was fine. I assumed that a small amount of delay would bearable for my wife that just wants to have some fun with our child during their spare time. So, I pulled the trigger and purchased this as a Christmas gift for my wife. Being a gift for my wife, I did not open or try the product until my wife opened it. That was a mistake. I plugged our Apple TV 4K into the unit, and first positive thing I noticed was that CEC works! Pressing the power button on the Apple TV remote turns on our Samsung TV and Yamaha amplifier, but then... no image. Okay, sure.. I half expected the 4K signal to be too much for this cheap of a product to handle. I was prepared! I had her laptop ready to plug in as well. I forced the signal to 1080p on both the laptop and TV. We have an image! Awesome, not too hard, I can save those settings, and its just one extra step for my wife. She can manage that. So, we open up YouTube, throw on a lyric video, and begin to sing.. and immediately hear the absolute worse delay I've ever experienced in my life.. Of all the cheap audio equipment paired with underpowered computers that I learned on as teenager, this has hands down the worse response time ever. That said, I wasn't going to give up. My profession is fixing electronics. I had some ideas on how to reduce the delayed response. I turn the TV into PC mode to reduce latency to the absolute minimum. I do use this for playing games on my PC via optical cabling from a distant room, and successfully with no perceivable delay. I also grabbed a couple 1m high-speed HDMI cables to rule out any issues with signal loss over the length of cables, since the cables I originally used were both 2m. Even with all of this, the response time makes this product absolutely unusable. Its not a pleasant experience to be adequately singing along side music and your voice is almost half a second late. This is even while standing directly next to the receiver.. HEED MY WARNING! DO NOT BUY!

My family wanted to upgrade our karaoke system and I thought this would be an easy way to get up and running with our TV and soundbar and an open-source karaoke system to queue Youtube karaoke videos. It did its basic job of mixing microphone input with the the karaoke feed from youtube but the tone and music adjustments seem to do very little to alter the sound from the microphones. Also, the light up buttons don't stay lit after initial power on, one is bright, others are dim or vary in brightness. I found little difference in effect between Echo and Reverb, but there is a difference from just leaving the effect at Normal, so I just left it on Echo all the time. If I could rate this SoundTown SWM15-MAX more precisely, I would rate it 3.5 stars as it's a kit that includes what you need to get up and running with minimal effort. For my setup, I connected a linux computer running an opensource karaoke application for queuing youtube karaoke songs to the HD IN port, then HD out to my TV, which outputted the audio to my Samsung soundbar. Microphones sound good and had no issues with wireless range. Vocal volume is on the low side since the effect buttons have little effect. On some videos, the music was too low but the music adjustment also had little noticeable impact. There doesn't seem to be a way to pair the microphones to the base so if you have to replace them, you might have to buy the same brand. However, one of the reasons I chose this model specifically is because I already have microphones with wireless 1/4-inch receivers so I could easily plug them into the front jacks and use them. I think a better option for me would be to buy a mixer and use my existing microphones that would allow me to have more control over the sound and overall function.

Quality product that simply works - except for the provided flimsy optical cable

So it's got an annoying low warbling sound output from whatever speaker it's connected to. Changing settings will momentarily cause it to go away but it comes back in a few seconds. Singing will overpower it and it won't be an issue but between songs it gets on your nerves. Video provided so you can hear it. Also, the wireless mics have a noticible delay in the output. For anyone that sings professionally this will be noticed and will be an irritant. Microphones are also not very sensitive and there is a slight buzz in the output. Will it "do" what you need it to do? Yes, but overall it's a poor quality system for the price. **UPDATE** I used wired microphones and almost all the issues are gone. So the problem is the wireless microphones. Still a very slight delay but that's not going away just due to sound propagation. So you're going to need wired mics to get any descent performance so buying a system with two mics you're not going to use? Probably not the best purchase.

SONOS does not make a dedicated microphone that you can use for karaoke or as a PA system (like if you are having an event at your home and want to pipe your voice throughout the house). You can use any microphone in the line-in port on select SONOS speakers but there's a little delay because of the analog to digital conversion inside the SONOS speaker. This delay can be distracting, especially if you are hearing your own voice with a delay through the speakers. This wireless microphone set has digital optical audio output which eleminates the delay. You have to have a SONOS speaker with optical audio input (like the original sound bar). It works perfectly for my purpose. It even comes with the necessary cables for digital optical audio. This microphone also has HDMI output which is digital as well and although I didn't test it, I would imagine it works the same way.
