Sound Town Wireless Microphone Karaoke Mixer System with HD Audio Return Channel, Optical (Toslink), AUX, Supports Smart TV, Media Box, PC, Bluetooth, Soundbar, Receiver (SWM16-MAX)

This is the perfect device for home karaoke! What I like:Compact - it takes up hardly any space below the TVGreat sound - the mics sound great and are very simple to use. We've never had any problems with feedback, even when standing under the speakerBattery life - we've used the mics for about eight hours, and still full batteriesCables included - the packages includes all the cables you might need. I used both toslink cables to get sound from the TV in and then to my amplifier out.The device easily connected to my home stereo and plays over my in ceiling speakers. I didn't need to get a large, bulky device. I noticed my favorite KTV places have switched to just a tablet with YouTube on it. This is in fact a better experience than the dedicated units with downloaded midi songs. The same setup works great at home. Just use YouTube on your Smart TV, and connect this device to mix in your microphones.So much fun, and it's easy enough for the whole family to operate.

It was easy to setup. People are saying the mic is low. You just have to make a few adjustments. I put optical wire from the TV to the Amp. I put the AUXILIARY wire from the Amp to the soundbar. Turn the soundbar to the auxiliary. Your voice will sound very loud. I forgot to mention this is the first ever review.

This little thing is great. I have an older HTPC that I have been using for years, used to use it for a lot of things but now just karaoke. Unfortunately, the power supply died and I don’t want to keep upgrading that for karaoke, so enter this little gadget. I was super excited that it has HDMI in and out making it super easy to connect. I tried to hook it up to my AppleTV box, but it wouldn’t work at all with AppleTV 😔. So, I figured i would try with my XBox instead. Works really well, only the HDMI audio would click out every 20 seconds or so - really annoying. I instead ran the optical cable (included in the box) to my receiver, using HDMI video out + optical audio and and it works great!I did need to buy an HDMI splitter to go with this (splitter, not a switch, as I don’t want to have to push another button every time I use it). You could leave this unit turned on at all times, but I don’t like the bright red power light while using other sources and I don’t believe this unit supports HDR video (not sure about 4K either) so I set it up so this only turns on when I want it for karaoke. Hope this helps people with ideas on how to set this up at your house!

Easy to install between your soundbar and TV. I used the optical cables. The only issue I have is the balance between the mic and the sound input could be better as I cant quite get enough mic output no matter how much I try.Theres also some effects which is great but they effect both mics. It would be better if it could be set to each mic as Id prefer the reverb to be on the backup singer microphone only, or the tone adjustment to be different between mics as one mic might be a male and one might be a female.But for the price this is note bad.

What a disappointment. I was excited about this product and the fact that I could get it the following day through Amazon so I didn't read the hit or miss reviews.It arrived on time and was easy to connect the optical cables that come with it to the TV and my AV Receiver, but neither one of the microphones will pair to the Karaoke receiver.Following the troubleshooting directions in the manual I powered down the mic and the receiver. Then held the mic power button down til I got the flashing "1d". At that point I quickly released the power button and quickly press it one time which put it into pairing mode, which was confirmed by the flashing signal icon in the top right corner of the mic's LED display. Then I turned on the karaoke receiver and waited for it to pair and nothing. After about 10 seconds the mic moved out of pairing mode as the icon stopped blinking.It tried this several times and nothing. Tried it in an area that had no other electronic devices and nothing. Even when out and bought the best world champion AA alkaline batteries available just to check that box and nothing. Tried to contact the manufacturer, but their support line has better than bankers hours Mon-Fri from 10am to 5:30pm so I sent a detailed email help request.We'll see what happens, but regardless, any simple fix if one even exists should have been in the manual.

I have use this system for over a month. In summary, the system works as advertised with excellent wireless connectivity. The audio quality of this unit is outstanding, and it helps that I connected this unit to a reasonably quality sound system for this assessment. The unit is hidden behind my TV screen for esthetic reasons. As a result, my TV is blocking the direct line-of-sight communication between the unit's antennas and the wireless microphones. Yet, at 20 feet distance, the wireless connections are excellent. I get about three hours of uninterrupted quality wireless connections on a fresh pair of alkaline battery. After that, I experienced intermittent connection drops (time to replace the batteries).

Difficult to hook up to smart tv and surround sound system. One of the microphones stopped working after having two months. Only used 4-5 times.
