Silent Karaoke: How to set up

Karaoke has been a part of Japan’s culture and immediately became popular to other countries in the past decade. It gives a chance to people who love singing their heart out and externalizing their internal rock star.  However, not everyone is fortunate enough to have a pleasant singing voice and this may be hard to handle by a typical listener.  It is definitely entertaining but sometimes can be inconvenient to others especially when it goes outside and bother the neighbors.  In the previous post about the different RF wireless headphone applications; this could also be used to solve our karaoke problem.

What you will need for a silent karaoke:

• • Karaoke Machine

• • Microphone

• • Mixer

• • RF Wireless Headphones/ Silent Disco Headphones

• • Transmitter

• • Connecting Cables

1. 1. Let’s say we will be using a karaoke disk system with a wired microphone that will be connected to the TV. Use the cable to run the karaoke system to the TV and should come out of a “line out” from the karaoke system.
   2. Connect the output cable of the karaoke system to the mixer. Plug in the microphone to the mixer too. Connect the output cable of the mixer to the transmitter.
   3. Plug in the power supply to the system and switch on the wireless headphones.

Once you start singing, the sound and your voice will be broadcast on the wireless headphones so only those who are wearing it will be able to hear you. Now you can have your own silent karaoke anytime.
