Getting Sound Right
Where to Put Speakers
Speaker spots matter a lot for the best sound. Set main speakers at where your ears are, tilted a bit toward where you sing. For deeper bass, put your big bass speaker by a wall but not in a corner to keep sound clean. Keep speakers 3 feet from walls to stop echoes.
How Loud?
Get a good sound mix with smart checking. Set mic power low enough to avoid noise but keep voices clear. Change song sound to have a 70:30 mix of music and singing. Use the talk test – you should chat comfortably when music is off.
Fixing the Echo
Room sound changes a lot about sound quality. Hard bits bounce sound back, while soft stuff stops echoes. Put up sound helpers like blankets or special panels to clear up sound. Keep your karaoke system in the middle for even sound all around and less sound messing.
Best Sound Moves
- Monitor spots: Point ground speakers at 45 degrees to singers
- Stop feedback: Make safe spots between mics and speakers
- EQ settings: Lower problem sound ranges between 250-500Hz
- Digital fixes: Lightly even out singing levels
