HERE ARE SOME OF THE ACCESSORIES THAT MAKE ADVANCED ENTERTAINMENT SO ADVANCED
Individual Volume Control on Microphone Inputs - A separate knob to control volume on EACH microphone. Some of the less expensive karaoke systems only provide one volume control for both mics making it impossible to adjust singers if one duet partner has a stronger voice than the other.
Key Control (also known as Key Changer) - This will change the key the song is in. Most karaoke machines change keys in 1/2 steps each time you hit the button up or down. Changing the key too high or too low will usually result in the background singers sounding like toads or chipmunks. Most higher end karaoke machines have key changers. If a machine says it is 19 steps, that means you can go 9 steps lower, 9 steps higher or stay normal (19 steps).
Pitch Control - True pitch control slows down or speeds up the karaoke song. It can sound a little like the key is changing. Pitch control is a feature that dance groups like to have or DJ's like to use. Most karaoke systems on the market DO NOT have pitch control.
Echo (also known as Reverb) - All karaoke machines have this. To little makes a singer sound flat and too much is annoying. Echo makes a singer sound fuller and richers---hides imperfections. If you are speaking (not singing) into a microphone NO ECHO is much better---speaking voices should be flat.
Delay - Added effect that enhances echo on some karaoke systems or mixers. Delay means how much time between "Repeats". If you say "what" it impacts the distance between the "what------what------what------what" This is considered a hi end feature only found on premium karaoke systems.
Vocal Cancel (Multiplex Button) - Another term that gets abused. Some people think this term is a Vocal Eliminator. Vocal Cancel means when you hit this button, the vocal guides on a karaoke disc with vocal guides will disappear. Years ago, some karaoke discs were created with a vocal guide imbedded in the same track as the karaoke version. You needed to hit this button to sing alone. Now, most karaoke discs with vocal guides provide two separate tracks for each. A karaoke feature that isn't as important these days!
Vocal Eliminator - Rare feature only found on RSQ and JVC Triple Tray Players (remote function). Also on a few mixers. This feature is where you can play a REGULAR cd in the karaoke player and strip the lead singer (no words will appear on TV). This is not 100 effective.-----it just depends how the original recording was created in the studio. Some studios will weave the tracks together and when you strip the singer, you will also lose some of the music (weaker sound) and not all of the singer.
Graphic Equalizer - Found on a few karaoke machines and some mixers. Allows the customer to adjust karaoke song to their liking. The easiest way to "set" an equalizer is to adjust levels so they look like lazy smile-then slightly adjust from there.
Built In RF Video Output - Most karaoke systems come with a RCA Jack Video output. Most TV's accept a RCA jack video input and there is no problem. Some older TV's do not have an RCA input ---only the RF input (looks like a cable TV plug type input. Karaoke systems with a built in RF output send out signals "both ways". Having the option built in is especially helpful in cases where a machine is taken different places and you never know what kind of TV you will be plugging into.
Bass or Treble Controls - Bass impacts the "heaviness" or lower end of the music and voice. Treble is the edginess or tinniness of the sound. Having the ability to control bass (also known as Low EQ) or treble (High EQ) is a great feature. However, the BEST systems and mixers will allow you to control the bass and treble of the music separately from the microphones. This is because you may want to add bass to a "tinny" voice, but not add any more bass to the music. The VocoPro Twister allows you to control separately the bass and treble of the music is controlled on the front of the unit, and the voice is controlled on the back.
Audio Output Jack(s) - If the system has this, you can run the sound out of it into an amplifier to get even more power. This is a nice feature on the smaller wattage karaoke system.
Multiple Audio Output and Input Jacks - Helpful for customers who want to add auxiliary equipment for mixing or recording purposes, such as CD Burners, Tape Decks, or effect mixers.
NTSC or PAL switchable - NTSC is the TV format in North America. PAL is the format in Europe. This makes the system easy to use anywhere in the world.
