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)

Very easy to set up.
Works well and with the Fillipino crowd met tough reviews at my first karaoke night. Could not of done it with out it. Worked well through surround sound.

HDMI Use
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!

Useless!! Not recommended!!
You practically need to put the Mic inside your mouth for it to pick up your voice! Even then the volume is still very low! Not to mention unsanitarry! Imagine exchanging Mics with antoher user. This one is not good at all! I’m still in search for a good one.

Microphone delay creating an echo on both the wireless mics and my own corded mic
I was disappointed with the mixer and I ended up returning it for a refund.I hooked the mixer up to my Vizio M-Series soundbar and my Vizio M-Series TV. The wireless microphones that came with the unit and my own corded microphone both had delays that created an echo.I hooked it up using all sorts of combinations using Optical, HDMI Aux. I changed the soundbar equalizer to all the different settings it had eg (Movie, Music, Direct, Game). The echo still remained.The mixer and microphone did not feel cheap — they had a bit of weight to them and seemed like quality. The mixer and microphones may work for other brands of soundbars and TVs — I don’t know.I do think that the mixer will work with a receiver instead of a soundbar without the mics having an echo.It also probably best not to be running raw mic vocals through your home theater system as this could blow the speakers. Home theater systems use compression on the audio and are not designed to handle raw vocals. So be careful, if you plan to use you home theater for Karaoke.

I ordered this for my living room. I liked that it was easy to connect between by Smart TV and my Bose 2.1 channel stereo (which were already connected with optical cables). I was delightfully surprised with how easy it was to setup and get working.I ended up running the mic gains at full and drawing back the music volume to get a blend I liked. But overall, the system is flawless. The microphones use standard AA batteries and connectivity has been solid. I’ve only used it a few days, and to be honest I kept all the packaging assuming I would be returning it. However the fun/cost ratio was so great, I decided to keep it.For songs we just use Youtube. Serach for “Karaoke {song name}” and you can get pretty much anything.Only two minor issues. I leave the system in line permanently. So this means it also acts as a flow through device for my cable box. The cable box outputs Dolby+ format. This device can’t understand Dolby+ so it doesn’t work. You need to set the cable box audio output to stereo. Since I have a 2.1 channel stereo, this is not a problem for me. If you’re rocking a big 7.1 system you may lose all your surround channels if this is in-line. Second issue is latency. The wireless mic has a very small latency… maybe 50 to 100ms. It’s almost undetectable, but it’s there. I assume this issue will exist in every low cost wireless mic. A wired mic wouldn’t do this. (you can add one).So overall, this has led to some happy times. I love the optical connections as it means no noise and I can use my existing expensive stereo system.

Sound Town has great features which includes, Tone, Volume, Music, Mic volume and even a mic (wired) jack port at front. The 2 wireless microphone has great distance and good feedback.The setup was a breeze using optical connection on my Samsung TV and Sound Town Karaoke Mixer.All the necessary cables needed for connection comes with the package.Note on using optical connection. This mixer uses PCM format, ensure in your TV Settings – Sound, to choose PCM format. Am using Meredo Sound Bar for the optical connection output (or you can use an amp or speaker but ensure it has optical port to use this optical connection).Installation only took 10 minutes.Amazing product. Delivered same day.
