Sound Town 16 Channels Wireless Karaoke Microphone and Mixer System with Bluetooth, HDMI ARC, AUX, Supports Smart TV with HDMI Output (SWM15-PRO)

I bought this for my parents as they like to do karaoke. It’s connects seamlessly with their surround sound bar via HDMI arc so that they can still use Dolby atmos as well. As for the sound quality of the mic, it’s pretty good and you can adjust the volume + echo with the knobs. It comes with 2 wireless microphones and is powered by batteries. There is also room for connecting 2 wired microphones but I’m not sure if it would allow for up to 4 mic’s to use or if it overrides the wireless mic’s. Also the mic doesn’t go as loud as I want it to but you can adjust the main music sound to let the voice come through. Overall for the price point and quality of sound, it’s pretty easy to setup in no time.

Haven't used it much since we got it because we're waiting for the holidays, so I might be editing this review later. What I like: - Mics just worked right out of the box (I don't know why other people were having trouble with their mics in other reviews. Mine just worked instantly no matter what channel I had them on). - Sound is pretty good for a home karaoke system, but I have to crank the mic knobs all the way to the top to get some good audio. Not the worst as I turned up the volume on my receiver too and that helped get the levels I was looking for. What I didn't like: - Wanted to connect my AppleTV to the HDMI input, and then connect the HDMI output to my receiver. Wouldn't work. Tried with a laptop and it still wouldn't work. Only way I could get it to work is by plugging in my laptop to the HDMI, HDMI out to the TV, and then the optical cable to my receiver. I don't know why I couldn't just pass audio in line with the HDMI in/out ports so that's why I gave it 4 stars. That being said, I would recommend this product. It seems great. I'll let you know again after the holidays! - After holidays edit: Have been using the system regularly for weeks since the Xmas holidays and everyone is loving it. Once I got the audio tweaked on my system and the Sound Town system everything has been great. No complaints. I would definitely recommend this as it just works! Now if they could add an autotune feature to improve my singing voice that would be great! :D

Bought this as a gift and tested the product to provide a review. The unit is easy to set up, comes with easy-to-read manual complete with diagrams, so that takes away a lot of the guesswork. Works well with Smart TV as well, just remember to unplug the Optical Cord on your speaker system if you have that. Sound quality depends on your speakers too, so take note of that. No discernible interference from the Mic either. I have an older unit from VocoPro and one of the drawbacks of that is it runs on one frequency while this unit has multiple channels so it minimizes, if not eradicates that crazy mic feedback. Overall, a good unit for anyone with a Smart TV. They have a similar device if using a laptop/computer without the HDMI ARC and it is substantially cheaper. Check that one out if you don't have a Smart TV but still want an awesome system for your home Karaoke!

With this box, you can have two wireless mics add audio to any show, or karaoke video. Echo effect also great for karaoke. My setup: * https://www.amazon.com/Epson-PowerLite-Home-Cinema-Projector/dp/B0044UHJWY * https://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-NR636-7-2-Ch-Network-Receiver/dp/B00IQ0SE22 * https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Gaming-Streaming-GeForce/dp/B01N1NT9Y6 Just unplug streaming device (for me the SHIELD), connect that into the mixer, the mixer into the same spot on the receiver. There's no passive passthrough, you need to have the device on, this does affect multichannel audio, see below. The SHIELD and the Onkyo combo has no delay with this mixer that I could notice, audio and video are synced. With my projector setup, and the output from the mixer going to the receiver, there's no ARC audio return involved, which is the selling point of this device over its predecessor SWM15-HBT https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F8GZVX2. I got this new one in case I want to move the box to a smart TV / soundbar setup, which would be much cleaner with ARC support, I'll update this review when I try it out. I can confirm now that it can do all its predecessor claimed for a full HDMI solution with video from a separate source like the SHIELD or a Roku, outputting to an HDMI receiver, and adds two mics to anything you watch. The mics are OK, I got these foam covers https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019OO4IY6 for them. They connect out of the box once activated. Even if not set too loud they can add echo to anyone's voice and recreate a karaoke bar vibe really well. The only real drawback is that as far as I can tell this mixer only outputs 2ch audio on the hdmi output. That is, if you have a 5.1 or other surround sound setup, you'll only get audio out of front left and right, you'll lose digital dolby or dts. This is fine during karaoke mode, on my setup, youtube just works in stereo while playing videos and singing into the mics. But when not using karaoke, watching a Netflix show or renting a move in surround, you'll notice you're losing out and only getting stereo. As mentioned if this box had a hdmi passthrough mode when not needing any mixing, and that mode preserved digital multichannel audio, only going to stereo when actively mixing, it would be a perfect device. As it is, if you want multichannel you'll be swapping a few cables around. I'm going to pick up an HDMI splitter and try using two different input modes on my receiver. This should avoid me touching wires, will switch a mode on receiver and one will get multichannel, one 2 channel plus mics, with same video feed. Not sure if there is a viable solution with multichannel using splitters that would work with ARC audio return. I was looking for a simple full HDMI solution for karaoke for a long time and this is the closest I've found so far. My previous setup was super janky, using a laptop, one wired mic, cables everywhere, not looking cool for the karaoke party guests. This little box is tiny, never moves, the mics just work, on standard AAs, and full wireless is key. This plus youtube app is a perfect karaoke setup, you can set up queues on your phone and cast it to the TV. If you care about surround sound normally you'll be doing some cable shuffling, or getting a splitter, to get it ready. But once set up using the mics themselves is super easy and the setup will look super polished for any karaoke partygoers.

The product seems to work but not really good as you need to be loud for the mic to pick up some sounds or you should be super close to the mic and cover you mouth and mic to get some better sounds. If the user is a bit shy, mic doesn't pick up anything and seems it is not working. Pairing the Mic is a bit challenging as the timing should be exact and no room for delay.
