Karaoke Machines & Systems

Karaoke Systems

Turn your next house party into a singalong with a karaoke machine or home karaoke system from DJ City! Our range includes compact karaoke sets for casual home use, kids' karaoke machines, portable karaoke speakers and more complete all-in-one karaoke systems for parties, events and regular performers. Find karaoke systems with built-in speakers, wired or wireless microphones, Bluetooth audio, USB playback, vocal effects and LED party lighting. Some systems are designed as simple all-in-one solutions, while others can become part of a larger sound system.

Choosing the Right Karaoke Machine

The best karaoke machine for your setup depends on where you plan to use it, how many people will be singing and where your music and lyrics will come from: For casual home karaoke, an all-in-one machine or portable karaoke speaker offers an easy place to start. These systems combine the main audio components in one unit and are practical for family nights, birthdays and small parties. For two singers, look for a karaoke machine with two microphone inputs or a system supplied with two microphones. This makes duets easier and avoids passing one microphone between performers. If your chosen system does not include the microphones you need, explore DJ City’s range of karaoke microphones. For larger rooms and events, consider the speaker output, microphone control and available audio connections. A system with separate music and microphone level controls gives you more flexibility, while a larger party speaker may provide more coverage for a busy room.

What Should a Karaoke System Include?

A karaoke system generally needs a speaker, at least one microphone and a source for music and lyrics. An all-in-one karaoke set may combine several of these components, but inclusions vary between products. Before buying, check:

If it includes one or two microphones
Whether the microphones are wired or wireless
How music connects through Bluetooth, USB, AUX or another input
the unit has a rechargeable battery or requires mains power
If a screen or song library is built in
If you can adjust microphone volume, echo and other vocal effects

What should I look for when buying a karaoke machine?

Look at the number of microphones you’ll need, the size of the room and how you want to play your backing tracks. Check whether the machine includes a speaker, wired or wireless microphones, Bluetooth, a rechargeable battery and independent microphone controls. Some karaoke systems might require you to use your own phone, tablet or television for streaming songs or lyrics.
Do karaoke machines come with microphones and songs?

Many karaoke machines include one or two microphones, but the contents vary by model. Songs may come from a connected phone, tablet, television, karaoke app or streaming service rather than being stored inside the machine. Check the individual product description to see exactly what is included.
Can I connect a karaoke machine to my phone or TV?

Many modern karaoke machines can receive audio from a phone, tablet or compatible television using Bluetooth or a cable. However, Bluetooth normally carries the music rather than displaying lyrics. You may still need to show the lyrics on the connected device or another screen.
What is the difference between a karaoke machine and a karaoke system?

A karaoke machine is usually an all-in-one product that combines a speaker, microphone inputs and music playback in one portable unit. A karaoke system can also describe a larger setup made from separate microphones, speakers, a mixer and a screen or media player. An all-in-one machine is generally easier to set up, while a component system can offer more power and control.
How do Bluetooth Karaoke Machines work?

Bluetooth is commonly used to stream backing tracks from a phone, tablet or compatible television to the karaoke machine. The microphones connect separately through a wired input or a dedicated wireless receiver, so Bluetooth does not always mean that every part of the system is wireless. You may need to use your phone, tablet or television to display Lyrics using a karaoke app, YouTube or another compatible service.
