Introduction
The best part of karaoke is the sound. When you’re on a
karaoke stage, everyone can hear you and everybody can see you. You’re going to
want something that lets you hear just as clearly as you see. That’s why we
searched for the best microphone system for karaoke, even though there weren’t
any that were cheap enough for us to recommend. We wanted to find something
that would allow us to put our money where our mouth was and get some
great-sounding results at a lower price point.
Microphone
Systems
While
there are more than enough products on the market offering karaoke wireless microphones and
audio recording, there are a few things you need to consider before buying.
This article will help you decide on the best microphone system for your needs.
The
microphone you choose depends on what your application is. If you are a
professional sound engineer, you may be looking at different microphones for
your studio or personal use. If you are a home user, these microphones will
come in handy as well. You should consider things such as:
• The
type of microphone that is most suitable for your application (loop-through or
condenser mic)
• The
type of microphone placement (trunk or side)
• How
much amplification is required (adjustable volume or fixed frequency response)
• What
type of background noise will affect your recordings (wind, water, rock
concert…)

Microphone
A
microphone is an electronic device that converts sound waves into electrical
signals. Microphones are used in a wide variety of applications, including
recording and broadcasting, musical instrument amplification, speech
recognition and monitoring.
The
microphone has many different types: dynamic microphones and condenser
microphones. One type of microphone is called a dynamic mic or condenser mic
because it captures the sound waves generated by an acoustic source such as a
singer or musician. The other type of microphone is called a dynamic mic or condenser
mic because it captures the sound waves generated by an electric source such as
a singer or guitarist.
Dynamic
microphones use electromagnetic induction (i.e., magnetic fields) to create the
electrical signal in response to sound waves from the source that is collected
and amplified by separate transducers (binaural microphones). The transducers
convert mechanical movements of the ear into electrical signals that are picked
up by the transducer's diaphragm. When these signals are amplified in a preamplifier,
they become amplified audio signals that are then communicated over the speaker
wires to loudspeakers where they produce audio sounds.
Condenser
microphones use electro-magnetic induction (i.e., electromagnets) to create an
electrical signal in response to sound waves from the source that is collected
and amplified by separate transducers (binaural microphones). These transducers
convert mechanical movements of the ear into electrical signals that are picked
up by the transducer's diaphragm. When these signals are amplified in a
preamplifier, they become amplified audio signals that are then communicated
over speaker wires to loudspeakers where they produce audio sounds.
While
there may be some overlap between these two types of microphones, both types
offer their own unique features - dynamic mics have longer
"lifetimes" than condensers, which have shorter lifetimes than
dynamic mics - so you should definitely choose one according to your needs for
each specific situation!
Bluetooth
Microphone
For a
while, we have been hearing a lot about Bluetooth microphones. The idea is that
they are low-cost and good enough that people don’t really need to buy them.
So, they’re not common, but they are out there.
But
then I went to my local Best Buy and was surprised to find out that they didn’t
sell anything like that… I guess the big question is: What exactly do you need?
Wouldn’t this be the sort of equipment you would get in any karaoke bar? Isn’t
the point of karaoke to sing along with other people? So then I got more
specific:
I need
a microphone… 🙂
And
there it is! :D There are different types of microphone. Some are directional
(like boom mics), others omnidirectional (allowing you to amplify sounds from
whatever direction you may be facing). There are also wireless microphones. And
then there’s what we call “headphones,” which basically just attach to your
ears like earplugs and pick up sound from where your ears are located on your
head. I think that covers it for me! 🙂
Shure
Products
I
wanted to write a post about microphones. I’ve been using the Shure SM57 for
years and it still works great, but I wanted to share with you what I’m
currently using. It’s a Shure SM58, which is essentially the same thing, but
comes in pink instead of blue.
The
reason I use it is that it gives me two things that the SM57 doesn’t:
high-quality sound and an external mic boom. The boom clip can be clipped to
anything (my shirt, my backpack) so that if I need to be out of range of the
camera while recording, it doesn’t get in the way.
I also
find that this thing has such a high-quality sound that I don’t have to crank
up the sound on my iPhone just as loud as my phone can go. Other than being
super quiet (which is actually very nice), it sounds so good, I haven’t found
another microphone that sounds better than this one. And if you have an iPhone
or iPad and are interested in learning how to do this on your iPhone or iPad,
check out my post — you won’t look back!
A lot
of people think of microphones as this sort of thing where you put them on your
computer and then record something and then play it back later. But there are
other ways to use microphones besides audio recording:
• You
can use them for videos — for example on YouTube or Vimeo (and most video sites
allow you to upload raw footage from your camera straight into their mixer).
With YouTube, you could even choose not to upload any audio at all; just add a
voice over afterwards, or add some music (or both!). In fact — it is one of
those rare cases where karaoke comes out better if there isn’t any audio at
all!
• You
can use them for live streaming — you could use them like a webcam; just add an
audio source (such as someone singing) and send some over your phone via
Bluetooth or WiFi to a computer running Skype; then play it back at whatever
time you want (if you don’t want people looking at your screen when they are
watching live stream — try switching off focus mode). Note: This has some
limitations due to their size (they are significantly larger than iOS devices)
but they will work well with iOS devices which have a GPS connection built-in

If you
want to build a great business, you need to find a way to make money. If you
don’t have a strong product that delivers valuable value, then your only real
option is to try to make money selling the product. This is an excellent
opportunity for people who have a knack for engineering and design but not
necessarily know-how in marketing or sales. To be successful in this area, you
need to take an existing product (in this case, karaoke equipment) and turn it
into something that can be sold. The most obvious way of doing this is through
a direct-selling company like Ameriprise or Nuvo.
To do
so, you need to do two things:
•
Create value for people who want it
•
Market the value competently
• Make
sure people see the value in what they are buying (you will get far more sales
with better packaging and customer service than with bad packaging and no
customer service)
Looking
at our business, we have some products that are the only ones on the market
that deliver what we say they do. It’s important they are respected by our
customers — but more importantly, they’re recognized as unique investments of
time and money by prospective customers — and rightfully so! The best way to
achieve these goals is through targeting specific audiences (customers) using
targeted marketing campaigns — as opposed to selling generic products on
general markets where there aren’t any specific criteria around what makes each
product stand out from the rest of options available. A good example of how
this approach can work is how we sell our speakers: if someone wants a speaker
that sounds great but doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars, then we want them to
buy one from us instead because it offers superior quality and features for
less than half the price. In return for this higher level of service (and
acceptance), we charge less than half as much per unit sold. And if someone
decides they want one anyway because they think it sounds great too then we get
paid $50 per unit sold instead of $75 in order to keep our margins high; which
means there’s still profit even if only one unit is sold! We generate
additional profit through commissions (which are written off over time) as well
as royalties on speaker sales (paid out at time-of-sale).
The key
ingredient here is premium quality: something everyone wants but no one really
pays for; something everyone expects
Conclusion
The
Shure KSM-103 is the best karaoke microphone available for home use. It can be
used for singing (and other types of music) by people with no musical
experience. Of course, on the other hand, it can be used for singing (and other
types of music) in a professional setting by people with years of musical
experience and good ears.
The
Shure KSM-103 is an excellent choice for home use because it has a wide dynamic
range (12-1,000 Hz), and its frequency response is flat to 2 kHz. Its frequency
response is very flat at 100 Hz and its impedance range is -60 ohm to +20 ohm.
Its
frequency response has a slope of -38 dB per octave and a gain that's less than
0 dB per octave. This means that even at low levels, there's virtually no noise
above 20kHz.
Its
frequency response has a slope of -38 dB per octave and gain that's less than 0
dB per octave. This means that even at low levels, there's virtually no noise
above 20 kHz . The KSM-103 features an adjustable gain knob which can be set
from 0dB to +10dB at any position, making it easy to match your performance
level to the genre or level of your voice when you sing or play on the guitar .
