2026 KBEATBOX Australian Karaoke Powered Speaker Range

KBEATBOX is back for 2026 with exciting new models, upgraded features, and the return of several customer favourites that were sold out for months due to overwhelming demand.

Whether you're looking for a simple portable karaoke setup, a powerful all-in-one entertainment system, or a premium karaoke experience for the whole family, the 2026 KBEATBOX lineup has something for every occasion.

Designed and manufactured in Vietnam by Soncamedia, KBEATBOX systems continue to lead the way with features like wireless microphones, Smart TV integration, rechargeable batteries, Bluetooth streaming, and support for karaoke apps from your Smart TV, phone, tablet, or laptop.

Several models in the new range now also include livestream functionality — including the new entry-level KBEATBOX CarryOn — making it easier than ever to sing, stream, and share your performances online.

At the top end of the range, Soncamedia has also introduced the new premium D'Auris series, delivering a high-end karaoke and music experience designed for customers wanting something truly special.

With that said, let’s get into the 2026 KBEATBOX lineup…


KBEATBOX CarryOn – Portable Karaoke Without Compromise

New for 2026, the KBEATBOX CarryOn becomes the new entry-level model in the KBEATBOX range, sitting before the compact CS Series models including the CS-200PU V3, CS-286Plus V2, and CS-366Plus.

Designed to help bring karaoke to the masses, the CarryOn delivers an incredible feature set and portability at pricing rarely seen before for a system of this type.

Weighing only 3.6kg and delivering 25W RMS power, this lightweight all-in-one karaoke system is perfect for home entertaining, travel, outdoor gatherings, and easy room-to-room portability.

Despite its compact size, the CarryOn includes a 2-speaker design, wireless microphones, DSP digital sound processing, Bluetooth streaming, anti-feedback technology, and livestream support via OTG connection — making it one of the most feature-packed portable karaoke systems in its class.

Complete with two wireless microphones and support for Smart TVs, phones, tablets, and laptops, the CarryOn is designed for customers wanting affordable, simple, and truly portable karaoke without compromise.

Compact Series – The Rise of the Small Powerhouses

Compact models have grown in popularity year after year. I still remember just a few years ago when they were hard to sell. The perception was always, “A small box can’t possibly sound as powerful as a big one!”

Well — that’s not always true. With some convincing and plenty of demonstrations, the tables have turned. Today, the Compacts rule the roost in KBEATBOX land.

The entry-level series 1 CS-200PU had a lot to do with that shift. When I first saw it in back in August 2023, I’ll admit — it sat unopened on my desk for a few days. I thought, “That can’t be very loud.” When I finally tried it, I was blown away. It was hundreds of dollars cheaper than anything else in the range at the time, which started around $799.

It quickly became a must-have.

Now in its third generation, the CS-200PU V3 (2026 edition) has been upgraded across the board — more power, a smaller timber box (still leather-wrapped), a stylish rounded finish, and a new optical input for Smart TV connection. The amplifier, speakers, and mixer all received an overhaul, delivering 30 watts RMS more power than the Series 2 — all at the same price.

That never happens.

Clearly, KBEATBOX intends for the success of this model to continue, and I can already see customers ordering multiples for family and friends. It’s shaping up once again to be the Hot Christmas Item, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it sells out before year’s end.

Next up, KBEATBOX has released what I like to call a “Mini Big Box” — the CS-286PLUS. Think of it as the bigger brother to the CS-200PU-V3, sharing the same vocal and music features and connectivity options, but in a slightly larger design with an 8" woofer. Even though the amp is 10 watts less (70W RMS), the bigger woofer and cabinet easily make up the difference.

Available in limited quantities for its Australian launch, the CS-286PLUS has already generated strong interest and adds a nice variety to the entry-level end of the range.

And remember — when I say “entry-level,” don’t underestimate what that means here. KBEATBOX systems start at the CS-200PU and go all the way up to the CB-51NEO — there’s something for everyone’s needs and budget.

Compact systems have become so popular partly because entertaining spaces are smaller today. With more people living in apartments, 70–80 watts RMS can easily fill a room without overpowering it. Add in their portability and lightweight design, and they’re perfect for family and friend gatherings.

To close out the compact lineup, we have the premium CS-366PLUS — a smaller dynamo with 150 watts RMS from two 6.5" woofers. This model was part of the 2024/25 lineup and is back due to popular demand.

Can’t decide between the three? Read my detailed comparison:

Beyond the Compacts – Modern vs Retro

But that’s not the end of the KBEATBOX 2026 story. We also have the larger compact premium models returning and evolving for the new year.

The popular FLAC 36 is back for 2026 as the upgraded Version 2, now featuring Soncamedia’s new Smart Microphone Technology with motion sensor auto on/off and drop protection. Delivering 200 Watts RMS power, the FLAC 36 V2 also remains the only model in the KBEATBOX range with direct HDMI ARC connectivity for compatible Smart TVs — making integration easier than ever.

Then we have the all-new Acoustic 3, combining stunning retro-inspired styling with powerful 220 Watts RMS output. Featuring a large 10” woofer, advanced DSP processing, anti-feedback technology, and premium karaoke performance, the Acoustic 3 is designed for customers wanting powerful sound with a more furniture-style appearance.

Unlike most KBEATBOX models, the Acoustic 3 does not include a built-in carry handle.

However, Soncamedia offers an optional deluxe carry bag with wheels and trolley handle, making transport simple when required. This premium carry bag is also compatible with the FLAC 36 V2 and flagship D’Auris 300 models.

Soncamedia D’Auris 300 – Premium Karaoke Enters a New Generation

New for 2026, the Soncamedia D’Auris 300 represents a new premium direction for portable karaoke, combining elegant design, powerful performance, and advanced sound processing into one impressive all-in-one system.

Delivering up to 200W RMS power, the D’Auris 300 features a premium 3-way speaker design with a powerful 10” subwoofer, dual 4” midrange speakers, and dual Neo tweeters for deep bass, detailed vocals, and crisp high frequencies.

The system also introduces Soncamedia’s advanced “DOUBLE THE DOUBLE” DSP technology, using independent processors for vocals and music to create a more balanced and professional karaoke experience. Combined with anti-feedback technology, Smart TV optical input, Bluetooth streaming, OTG livestream support, and premium wireless microphones, the D’Auris 300 is designed for customers wanting more than just a karaoke speaker — it is a true premium entertainment system.

Positioned above models like the FLAC 36 V2 and Acoustic 3, the D’Auris 300 showcases where the future of premium portable karaoke is heading for Soncamedia and KBEATBOX in Australia.

Then there’s the Hi-Net450 Gen2, replacing the Hi-Net3600. This is a true innovation — the only KBEATBOX model with Android OS onboard, complete with voice-controlled song selection.

Perfect for projector setups, the Hi-Net450 Gen2 connects to your Wi-Fi and lets you use karaoke apps (and even apps like Netflix!) without needing a smart TV or phone. It can store up to 2,000 favorite songs and operates as a complete self-service karaoke system — just grab the remote, pick a song, and sing.

👉 Video Projector Karaoke – Meet the Hi-Net450 Gen2

Many buyers of the Hi-Net series are people who don’t have smart TVs, or who have dedicated home theater rooms and prefer not to use their cinema system for karaoke (to avoid any risk of damage). It’s been a massive success in these setups.


Big Box Series

Back for another round in the Big Box lineup are the CB-41NEO and CB-51NEO. These have fast become the benchmark models, offering either a 15" or 18" main woofer in a 3-way speaker configuration producing 200 or 250 watts RMS respectively. The result? A massive, room-filling bass response that makes every song feel live.

Pair two of these systems together using TWS (True Wireless Stereo) mode, and you’ll unleash an incredibly powerful stereo wall of sound. With full onboard mixing for music and vocals, two UHF wireless microphones, and the ability to expand up to four wireless singers (thanks to the Sonken Ezy Mic 4.2 add-on system), you’ll be hard pressed to find a system offering this level of performance.

New for 2026 in the Big Box range is the entry-level KB-39NEO Karaoke Powered Speaker System. The model number might look familiar — and that’s no coincidence. It pays homage to the original KB-39 series that started it all for KBEATBOX, first introduced around 2015 and running strong until late 2021.


Today’s KB-39NEO is made from timber, not plastic like the original, giving it that deep, rich bass sound that KBEATBOX fans love. Replacing the old CB-4051-MAX, the KB-39NEO is smaller than the CB-41NEO but features impressive technology upgrades. It’s a 2-way configuration with a 15" main woofer and 3" horn tweeter, delivering 80 watts RMS.

It comes loaded with features including:

  • Music and vocal mixing

  • Bluetooth

  • Smart TV optical input

  • Line in

  • OTG live stream and record

  • Guitar input

  • MP3 playback

  • Anti-feedback technology

  • Multi-channel digital reverb

  • Bass boost

  • DSP Music Enhancer (via Mixing App)

  • TWS & MWS pairing for stereo or dual-speaker setups

The power and performance at this price point are exceptional. Many listeners are genuinely surprised when they first hear it — expecting they’d need to spend more for the CB-41NEO. There’s definitely a sound difference between the two models, and I cover that in my comparison article, which I recommend checking out.

That rounds out the Big Box Series for KBEATBOX 2026.


Final Thoughts

So there we have it — the 2026 KBEATBOX Australian Karaoke Powered Speaker Range.

From entry-level compacts to powerhouse Big Box systems, it just keeps getting better. There’s truly something for everyone — whether you want a lightweight portable system for family nights or a thunderous setup for your next big event.
