Ic... how about for a basic mic receiver that has 1/4 inch normal audio-out or RCA audio-out... can I connect it to a 3.5mm normal audio-in of a speaker? How about if it's the other way around... I connect from 3.5mm audio-out on the mic receiver to 1/4 inch audio-in or RCA audio-in of a speaker?

When connecting a basic mic receiver to a speaker... is it the type of input must be the same as the type of output ie. if it's from a mic-out on the mic receiver, it has to be plugged into a mic-in of the speaker?

Not all products have the same features. u need to read the manual or product description to know what type of output to connect what input. But yes generally mic to mic, line to line. If either too soft/noisy or distorted/loud then u know it is wrong.

Ok... I have asked the seller and he told me what u have told me... the audio out on my mic receiver is a mic out and that I can connect the mic receiver to a mic in... he said that is the only kind of input I can connect it to... thanks for your guidance...

Went MIA as was tied up with work.

But ya, essentially there's no standard. All manufacturers do it their own way. Generally Mic outs are weak, non-amplified. Audio outs are a cleaner, stronger signal compared. So long the connectors (ie. XLR-XLR, 3.5-3.5, 6.35-6.35, optical-optical, RCA-RCA etc) are compatible, it should work, just loud/soft.

For 3.5mm take note that there are TS, TRS and TRRS connectors. for the 6.35mm, TS and TRS.

Generally wireless mic receivers need an amp. Without 1, connecting the mic out to a powered speaker is unlikely going to give u the desired results, and instead u will end up with weak or no sound from mic at all. Hope this helps u with ur shopping considerations

Thanks for getting back... do u mean for the connections... it should be whatever output we use connected to the same type of input ie. XLR-XLR... 3.5mm-3.5mm etc?

Actually I was mistaken that I could directly connect a music source and directly connect a mic receiver to an active speaker and be able to do karaoke... I have to instead connect both the music source and the mic receiver to a mixer first then connect the mixer to the active speaker in order for the 2 signals to both come out of the speaker at the same time.

Yup. U need a mixer. If ur mixer doesn't amplify signals, then u will also need an amp before outputting to the speakers.

Or just get a Popsical set. Life doesn't have to be unnecessarily difficult.

hi all, seeking advise from expert here.

I just bought a mixer amplifier, a cheapo $120 brand new. My setup was using popsical on 3.5mm directly to creative speaker also have 3.5mm input.

Popsical system having problem with one of the mic but they doesn't seem to care even I want to buy a replacement.

1) Anyone familiar with adding wireless mic to popsical system
2) Alternative is to add a mixer amp, enhance the system and additional slot for mic

Now is I bought a cheapo amp from carousel and a new mic from challenger. How come I have sound, nice clearer music when I add in the amp but wired mic doesn't work? I got borrowed another wired mic but doesn't work.

I reflected to seller on the amp issue, we exchanged for another amp and still happen, mic no sound and now seller doesn't respond to me anymore.

Connection is through 3.5mm/RCA audio in and out to another 3.5mm to creative speaker.

please advise. thanks a lot in advance.

Hi all,

I wanted to get a new karaoke system but my greatest worried is the sound. I have great neighbors but i don't want to have any conflict on all this. Care to share what is the best and most effective way to sound proof it? Any guestimation on this kind of sound proofing? Thanks

soundproof your main door, soundproof your living room windows, add acoustic panels if you want to, a carpet, thick curtains.

But if soundproofing of windows and door is solid then you probably don't need the rest.

Oh no.. Means have to search for another streaming KOD service. Does anyone have recommendations?

Cheapest one is probably using Youtube (free).

Paid services -- I only know about Chinese ones.
1) WeSing
https://www.wesingapp.com/

2) Other Chinese apps which may not be easy to subscribe from Singapore. You may also need China VPNs like Transocks or AJS.

QQ Music TV version -- not exactly a Karaok app but can be used as one.
唱吧
天籁k歌
酷狗K歌
酷我k歌

3) Some of the Karaok systems from China may have built-in apps as well but I have not used them myself.

Anyone likes kod.sg systems at the pubs? It can be set up for home karaoke too. Anyone interested can PM me.

I can't seem to find where to buy this system. Can you tell me where?

I just bought a Powerhouse $1399 karaoke set, I still have an old Q Acoustics M4 soundbar lying about and was wondering if can use it as an add on to the speakers.

Alternatively also thinking of changing out the 280W speakers it comes with. Polk perhaps? Any advise?

 

[wetdreamx]

[potato13]

I think i saw this brand jazpiper Pro V4 and jazpiper max V5..
