For my Vietnamese wife a good karaoke setup is serious business. Problem is, I noticed that some people spend thousands of dollars on unnecessary stuff like gigantic receivers and speakers, only to end up with hiss, clipping, and clunky operation. Smart/consistent home setup should definitely fit under $1000, and that's with speakers and expensive Nvidia Shield box. You could definitely cut it to under $500 and still have a great setup. I did some research and put together a convenient setup for amazing quality at-home karaoke that isn't worth thousands, isn't a chore to operate, and passes Asian quality standards with flying colors.
How to use this setup once it's ready:
- You find any song on your phone's Youtube and cast it to your TV
- You pick up the microphone, start singing, and it all just sounds surprisingly beautiful
This guide assumes that you already have a TV with HDMI ARC or Optical/Coaxial audio output, and that you have WiFi at home.
