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)

It is a very nice gadget for home kareoke and other applications requiring mixing multiple soun sources with a live stream from a HDMI. Pros: 1. Great sound mixing features including controlled echo using two wireless microphones (provoded) or your own plugged in mic, or a musical instrument instead combined with an audio/video stream. 2. Sound quality very good for my ear 3. Many connectivity options including audio/video stream from any HDMI device like Chromecast, a DVD player or a PC with HDMI output. Such PC can be controlled by any mobile device to produce the desired kareoke clip. You can also output sound via Bluetooth, ora cable with 3.5mm jack, or using the optical cable. 4. Responsive user support via email ready to assist you with problems you may initially have Cons: 1 Not easy to use by a non technical person but once some guidance provided by someone who knows and explained, anyone can use the device from then on. This is because of many devices possible to be connected with, and each causing different problems. 2. User manual is very small font hard to read, but it can be found on the net so you can print it in a biger size. 3.Relation to Smart TV is not easy to grasp becaue of variety of Smart TV properties and otions. 4. Potential problems with the microphon output, delayed to an unacceptable level but that was found entirely related to the smart TV (LG) sound processing features which luckily could be bypased after finding the right TV setings thus restoring minimum delay acceptable performance.

This is a pretty complete, budget-friendly karaoke microphone system, and overall it does what it was designed to do. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t a good fit for the way I needed to use it. I specifically needed a two-microphone system with separate outputs so I could send each mic into its own channel on my mixer. This system uses a mono output and is really designed around using the Sound Town control box to handle the microphones. That isn’t necessarily a flaw with the product—it just didn’t give me the individual mixer control I wanted. The bigger issue for me was the HDMI audio extraction. I wanted to send HDMI video to my TV while pulling the audio out to my mixer, but I wasn’t happy with the sound quality when using the system that way. The audio just wasn’t as clean as I wanted for my setup. I ultimately returned it and went with a two-channel wireless microphone system with dual XLR outputs, then added a USB-C hub separately to handle my HDMI connection. That solution worked much better for what I was trying to accomplish. For someone wanting a simple all-in-one karaoke setup and planning to use the included control box, this could work very well. If you already have a mixer and want separate control of each microphone or are particular about audio quality, there may be better options. A decent budget system, but the HDMI audio quality and limited output configuration made it a 3-star product for my needs.

Excelente producto . Funciona muy bien

It has taken me a long time to review this item because I normally don’t review but it’s necessary. I ordered this for my daughter and I to use and have some karaoke fun. When the box arrived , I allowed her to open because she’s a pre teen that was excited so she’s going thru the box and looking for instructions for use. Well thank goodness I was close to hear what was next. As she’s reading these instructions, I hear things that are not makings sense and then she says mom I can’t find the buttons or settings that are on the instructions so I look at it myself and realize that the instructions are not for 2 mics but for some type of adult toy!!!! Sure , it’s pretty comical BUT when your child is asking questions that are things she has never heard before as a parent it’s upsetting, more at Amazon that this actually happened. I calmed down a little , we set up the mics- doesn’t sound the best and I did read reviews prior to purchase so now I’m thinking that I just received a faulty product. Hey it happens, but when I called amazon customer service to tell Them what happened and had the representative laugh it off a few minutes I was serious and told him hey do all of these boxes contain the same instructions and obviously they don’t know so I told him I wanted to escalate not to get a refund but to let them know that they should be more careful when putting things together in the facility before sending and obviously checking before it ships. So now I have 2 mics that I didn’t even bother to return that are pretty crappy and had quite the frustration to go with it. Again, perhaps this is just the one I received that’s faulty but the sound quality is not the greatest and doesn’t connect easily so it’s a quick step process the instructions are very vague.

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.

This Karaoke system solves exact issue of HDMI IN and OUT; YES sound out over HDMI. At this price range seems this is the only product that does mic sound mix over HDMI and doesn't degrade original content quality. Only issue I found which is irritating but not blocking functionality is every time you want to start the setup you need to force restart the mixer otherwise the signal from player - in my case Apple TV - wont reach the target system - in my case AVR.

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.

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.

No funcionó y se tuvo que devolver. Necesita más control de calidad

The product fails to mix correctly with my third-party microphone. Returned the item with the seller’s stamp, but I’ve had no refund or update for three weeks. The seller has been unresponsive. The issue is finally solved by Amazon A-to-z Guarantee. Caution to buyers on compatibility and its refund.

Love it

Works as intended! A good price. Simple set up. Mic sounds not bad. Perfect for this price point!

Muy s gusto con mi compra
