How to Appropriately Set Up a YouTube Karaoke System for Home Party?

 Today, many people want to enjoy karaoke from their own homes. Well, with the introduction of advanced technology, you can set up a karaoke system at home using YouTube karaoke.

The initial investment in the Karaoke system can be costly. But you would also need to update the music library, which will further increase your expense. Fortunately, with YouTube, you can enjoy the content for free through any device that can access it.

Here is a list of equipment that you need to get a YouTube karaoke system working:

1.   YouTube Player

 

If you want to play karaoke songs by using YouTube, you need to access the website. You can do that with your Smart TV with ease. However, you can also access the site with your laptop, smartphone, PC, or digital media players such as Apple TV or Google Chromecast.

 

2.   Microphone

 

For an entertaining karaoke session, you should have at least two microphones. Although you can work with wired microphones, the wireless ones are the best option as these would enable singers to move around without any bumps or crashes from troublesome wires.

 

When it comes to wireless microphones, you can get ultra-high frequency microphones (UHF) and very high frequency (VHF) microphones. Most people opt for UHF microphones because they have a more stable connection, especially when there are other frequency signals, such as Wi-Fi routers and smartphones. On the other hand, the UHF microphones can connect via Bluetooth, making it more convenient for connection to your existing home sound system.

 

3.   Active Speakers

 

Although you can use the home theater speakers for karaoke, you may risk damaging them by using them with a microphone. Therefore, it is better to use active speakers that are specifically designed for microphone use. If you’re going to use the active speaker for your karaoke, select the one with an echo effect for the authentic karaoke sound.

 

4.   Mixer

 

You will require a mixer if your speakers don't have an input for a microphone. The mixer will connect the entire karaoke system and have them work correctly. Karaoke mixers come in many different sizes and functionality. You need to ensure that the one you choose has the required microphone input, tone settings, and echo effects. Mixers can also connect the digital player for audio output to your speakers.

 

How to Set up YouTube on your TV?

·        Using a PC

 

In order to connect your PC or laptop to your TV, you would need an HDMI cable. That cable will allow your computer to transfer both audio and video to your TV. From there, you could opt to use speakers or to output to your mixer for better sound clarity.

 

·        Using a Smart TV

 

When it comes to Smart TV, you only have to open the Youtube application. If you experience any issues regarding application updates, use a computer or a digital media player.

 

·        Using a Google Chromecast

 

Google Chromecast has YouTube TV queuing and seamless playing between videos. With these features, you replicate the authentic karaoke experience.

 

·        Using Apple TV

 

When using Apple TV, you can set things up through the mirror setting. With this function, you can project YouTube videos onto your TV and use other Karaoke apps.

 

With this set up, you won’t have to worry about song software and music libraries. With the YouTube karaoke system, you and your friends can take your Karaoke party to the next level.
