Friday and Saturday only at Rite Aid

Normal price $50

Craig brand
ages 8+
CDG
Mic
built-in Stereo speakers, about 3"
runs on 8 "C" batt's or included A/C cord
multiplex cd voice reduction
basic mixer (mic and main knobs)
echo knob (zero to max)
outputs: RCA video and left/right audio
2 mic inputs, 1/4"
sample disc included with 4 songs
bright red LED display shows which track you've selected

Cons:
no way to repeat a section of a song to practice. Whole track only.
mic amp not very strong, so you have to sing loud
sing halfway loud and it distorts :roll:

Unable to test at this time whether it's the mic or the amp where the distortion is coming from, as I only have XLR cords -- no 1/4" cords. But I'd bet it's the mic. The audio sounds fine (it does pick up a slight 60 hz hum that you only hear between songs, which goes away when you unplug the mic)

Oh yeah, just what I need as a backup machine. What a waste of $20......

Wait, Craig brand rocks! lol Plus it's got the "echo knob"! If the 60 Hz hum gets too loud, I'll just unplug the mic and tell everybody to sing louder! :)

Hook a better mic to it and the hum will probably go away.

Hey thanks, I will go check that out today. It could make a nice gift for my friends lil kids that like to go over to "Aunt Marlene's house to sing Karaoke. (And sing "oops I did it again" ten times in a row)

as for the negative comments... I did mention that this karaoke toy is for ages 8+

and yes, adding a decent mic will probably fix both issues

Excuse my earlier snotty comments, it actually looks like a very good deal especially for kids. :)
