Karaoke Forums

Hi, I'm new to the forum and new to karaoke and have been trying to research the best way to add karaoke to my current home theater system. I have a Klipsch HD500 5.1 system powered by Denon AVR-1610 receiver. I just want to add basic karaoke where groups of friends can have fun. The manufacturer for my speakers says it should be okay to handle karaoke, but wanted to hear what you guys think and what is the best way to add karaoke to my system? Thanks.

I personally wouldn't run karaoke through home theater speakers. Seen, experienced & heard from enough people that have blown their speakers. Would be better off getting a separate system dedicated to karaoke.

Here is my prev/current system:

PC: Quad 6600 CPU
Sound Card: HT Omega Striker Omega 7.1/ M-Audio 1010LT

Before I use standalone karaoke dvd player:
RjTech 1500 II

Now:
Mixer: 1402 VLZ III (which is better then Pro version)
Lexicon: MX400XL
Comp: Dbx 1066
Eq: Dbx 2231

Receiver: Pioneer Elite 140w/Chanel
Speakers:
4 BOS Digital 400w/max program
2 Classis Rectilinear III Highboy 400w/max program

MIC: Hisonic Hisonic HSU482H 48/EV D967

I play all 6 speakers during karaoke party at 0dB-4dB levels in Extended Stereo mode.

Music source is DVD playing from PC.

And I am still trying to fine tune vocal on my new system.

I recently bought a Behringer DEQ2496 and use this for vocal only.

The more the I play with it the more I find it much more powerful than I thought.

I replace my current dbx 1066 with this one in the chain. I currently only use GEQ, DEQ, DYN, WIDTH to shape my vocal.

I have to move my dbx 1066 into different location in the chain after main mix output since it is being repalced by DEQ2496.

To me I could use another DEQ2496 in place of dbx 1006 after main mix otuput with more options and features to improve the overall mix.

Well, but I already bought one and I could not return it.
