Need some advice on what eq settings I should use in my setup. I do home parties with a recently purchased Stagepas 300 and have been playing around with the eq settings and still don't think I have found the perfect blend. The stagepas 300 has only 2 eq settings high (10kHz) and low (100 Hz) that go from -15 to +15. No mid eq. Have read many posts regarding eq settings but all have been with 3 or more bands. What recommendations can anyone give for settings for male/female to provide best balance of vocal punch/limiting and no feedback? Thanks.

With only a high & low eq. If you want more midrange, you cut highs & lows boost the channel fader up a bit. You want less midrange, you add highs & lows & back the channel fader down a bit.
Since each & every singer is going to be different, even between male/female, I wouldn't be able to really tell you any settings without hearing the actual voice i'm mixing.

I realize it will change from singer to singer. Just looking for a good starting point.

Well if I only had 2 bands to work with I would start every singer pretty much straight up on both hi & lo & work from there.

Males tend to need less bass & more mids/highs - but not always.
Females usually the opposite.
Again 2 bands there is really no 'starting' point. You will be adjusting every singer to compensate for the lack of midrange control so start in the middle.

Lon's advice is solid. The only thing I would add is that you might want do a bit more research.

The fact is, midrange is the priority for karaoke. A unit without the ability to adjust it was never built for karaoke use....
