How to Use Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphones?
1. Intro
For a long time, I have wanted to try out wireless microphones for karaoke. I’ve always used wired mics and wondered if wireless ones would be as good or bad as wired ones. Does anyone have any experience with wireless microphones?
Does anyone have any experience with karaoke equipment? I honestly don’t know what it is about karaoke that makes people want to sing and not communicate with their neighbors. Maybe it is because of the singing and the music, maybe it is because you don’t have to shout, maybe it is because you don’t need to take your shirt off while dancing on stage with a microphone in your hand, maybe it is because you can sing without having to talk over each other, but I am convinced that there are other factors involved like being able to keep singing at the same volume as talking during a commercial break or watching TV while singing in your living room.
I wonder how many people actually use these kinds of dynamic microphone in their homes, especially if they are of the “monitor-type” that sit on your desk or laptop. In my home (or mine) I use a Shure SM58 Wireless Microphone (which was a gift from my wife) which has worked very well for me for years, but then again I am not usually singing out loud in public (I just record TV shows and movies by sound).
As far as buying karaoke equipment, I think what most people do first (next after choosing the right microphone) is buy an amplifier which will boost the signal level so much that you can hear yourself clearly even when using cheap little earbuds or headphones. There are no such things as cheap little earbuds/headphones; they are just not cheap enough to make them worth using. That means that if you are going to buy a karaoke system and an amplifier then you should also buy some speakers which could be used for both systems – since you will probably be playing music from CD/DVDs too.
Then there is also the question about what kind of speakers should one buy for both systems: bookshelf speakers or studio monitors? Or does one have enough power output from a power supply to run both systems? If you plan on doing mostly DVD work then yes it makes sense to get studio monitors (since people do most DVD work by sound), but if you plan on doing mostly CD work then probably bookshelf speakers will
2. Karaoke Equipment
There are several reasons why you may want to purchase wireless microphones, or even karaoke microphones, for your karaoke machine. A good reason to buy wireless microphones is that the quality of sound isn’t as important as the convenience of using them for recording and playback. Karaoke speakers come with a built-in speaker which means there is no need to buy a separate speaker system. Wireless Bluetooth microphones are also easy to integrate into your karaoke equipment, so you don’t have to worry about having wires running across your stage, as well as being able to synchronize your microphone with a computer or smartphone.

3. Karaoke Microphones
Over the last few years, Bluetooth has been a huge topic of debate and discussion. Some people love it and some hate it. Some people are using it for business, others for pleasure. Some people want to be able to call someone on the other side of the world and still communicate without having to switch mobile phones, some people want to be able to use their own phone with a microphone, and some just don’t care about that.
We know many of you use your smartphones for things like making and receiving calls (which is why we created this article). But what if you wanted a microphone that would work with your phone but also with any other smartphone? What if you wanted it so that you could use your phone when travelling or out in the bush? With our wireless Bluetooth microphones, you can do both!

4. Karaoke Amplifiers
If you are going to use wireless microphones for karaoke, you should know the proper way to connect them to your PA system.
I’m also not going to go into specifics on this because others have done a great job of it, but here are some general tips:
1) The microphone should be connected directly to the transmitter of your wireless PA system. This is because the microphones must be powered by an AC adapter or battery pack (which can be a bit tricky). For portable units, make sure that the unit has a small power supply and an AC outlet. You can also use adapters purchased from various audio equipment stores. It's quite cheap and easy enough that even if you're not in charge of sound quality, at least making sure everything works is a good idea – just in case!
2) The microphone itself has two small metal prongs which stick out of it (there are two on each side), so find out which side goes with which port on the PA system – usually, it's the left side (but sometimes there might be one or two more on the right). In most cases though, there is just one on each side of the mic – unless you have several microphones or use high gain speakers.
3) Connecting to a receiver isn't difficult either – but remember that they tend to have separate volume controls for sound quality and input levels. Also make sure that your receiver has an adjustable gain control so that it doesn't come out all blown up or muffled when you start playing some loud music!
4) When using headphones with your wireless microphones, make sure that they are wired directly into the headset jack on your PA system rather than via any Bluetooth connection. If they are connected via Bluetooth, they will tend to cut off when you stop playing karaoke and vice versa – which makes them unusable for karaoke!
5. Karaoke Mixers
To be honest, we’re not exactly sure why wireless microphones are so under-rated. They do, after all, sound great. Especially when you realize that the microphone itself doesn’t have to be in a very big, bulky case.
A wireless microphone is simply a small piece of audio equipment that you attach to your belt or bag (or wherever you want it) and which transmits its audio output wirelessly to your headphones or speakers. So if you have Bluetooth-enabled headphones or speakers, then all you need is a wireless microphone system. And the wireless microphone system can be as simple as attaching a headphone jack onto the end of the USB-C cable that comes with most smartphones nowadays; or switching off your laptop’s built-in mic in order to use your smartphone’s built-in speakerphone instead; or using an external mic clip (a regular clip with an extra attachment part).
What is really amazing about this technology is that it works so well. For example, we recorded ourselves singing “I Can See Clearly Now” from the movie The Big Lebowski for our podcast “The Business of iPod”—with no wires between our ears and our iPods!
It was fun and easy to record, even though I was nearly shouting at the top of my lungs. And once I got it right, I could sit back and enjoy myself while listening back through my headphones—all without having to deal with wires sticking out at every angle!
And because this technology works so well, there are many applications for it (and not just karaoke)! You can use them for other things besides just recording music: playing games like Guitar Hero on a smartphone; taking photos around town; making video calls with people nearby (without worrying about their computers being on); or making short videos while hanging out at home — anything where you don’t want wires getting in the way . . . .
This is clearly one area where Bluetooth technology has been unable to match wired solutions: there still isn't enough bandwidth available for people who use multiple devices together — but there's now definitely plenty of bandwidth available for those wanting to set up their own networked applications without having any sort of cables hanging around. The ability to place an external microphone without having wires around makes this more convenient than ever – now you can take music from your Mac computer into another room where your PS3 controller won't interfere with its inputs
6. Karaoke Speakers
There must be a reason why wireless microphones have not taken off yet. Wireless microphones, in general, are more convenient and less prone to breakdown than wired ones. They’re also less expensive, because you don’t need to worry about cables and power cables and connections. Wireless microphones are also very portable (you can take them with you anywhere) and if you’re looking for a portable mic for your karaoke set up, look no further.
Wireless microphones have been around since the 1990s but have only recently become popular as manufacturers started to explore the technology (in particular Shure). Most people who buy a wireless microphone system do so because they are looking for a cheap solution to their karaoke setup.
The main benefit of wireless microphones is that they can be used with practically any audio source — whether it is an MP3 player or an audio-video device — without having to worry about the proper connection or compatibility with other devices.
What makes wireless microphones so convenient is that they are able to connect wirelessly with virtually any audio device; and it is possible for one person running around in public or elsewhere on the planet while another person at home is enjoying their own private karaoke night. This makes wireless microphones perfect for traveling and long trips because they are easy to use wherever you happen to be located (even when your primary location isn’t home).
Beyond convenience and cost, wireless microphones also offer some additional benefits that make them an ideal choice: they let users sing better! The simple fact that vocal chords can transmit energy on the microphone allows people who aren’t naturally vocalists (like me!), who spend most of their time singing at work (or wherever else), to sound much better than they would otherwise be able to do without a microphone. This actually isn’t too surprising considering how much singing has changed over time, especially in the past few decades — from people using reed instruments like flutes or saxophones, all the way up into more modern genres like opera singing which require more subtlety and control over how much air gets passed through your mouth as opposed to being blown out directly into your ears.
This has led many people to start using wireless microphones as part of their vocal training regime as well; which really helps in terms of getting rid of bad habits such as yelling too loudly or humming during speech pauses — both of which lead singers down a road where they will inevitably sing badly in

The following post is a summary of the various microphone systems from Shure, both their standard microphones (the SM57 and SM58) and their special microphones for use with Karaoke equipment. All are based on the same technology but there are huge differences in price, features and quality.
In order to get started with karaoke, you need at least an SM57 microphone for broadcasting (which we'll call the "karaoke" mic). What's the difference between karaoke and regular radio? In karaoke, when someone says "I love you" or "I'm sorry", you hear their words instead of your own voice. When they say "guy in blue shirt over there", they hear it — not your own voice.
Shure karaoke receivers allow you to connect a microphone directly to your computer via USB so that it can be used as a wireless receiver to connect directly to your Shure mic. This is a pretty common feature these days; almost everyone has one of those little USB receivers these days. As long as it's powerful enough, this will work just fine with most mics and microphones. If you have something much more powerful than that, that's probably not the right way to go — because sound quality will be degraded considerably compared with using the built-in microphone on your computer (because it will have no line-of-sight connection).
Most wireless receivers also offer line-of-sight connections as well. In general, both line-of-sight or USB wireless connections work fine for most applications but if you need true wireless connection then USB is probably better since it has no line-of-sight connection limitations (no radio transmissions). The only time I've seen a problem using line-of-sight without a receiver is when I'm trying to validate some weird kind of signal coming from my computer speakers — even though there's nothing transmitting on my end at all!
To get started with karaoke, I recommend getting an SM57 receiver ($60-$150). Note that this kind of receiver isn't designed specifically for use with karaoke so if you want some control over how loud the audio gets louder as you play through different songs then I recommend getting an adapter which allows you to adjust the volume on either side of your mic independently from each other (which is what this article was written for). For example: You can put one side up by about 2 decibels louder than the other side (
