Sonken MDJ-003 DJ Buster Karaoke System with MP4000

The Sonken DJ Buster Series has been an extremely popular unit over the years.

It all started back in August 2011 with the very first model, the MDJ-001, it represented a true all-in-one solution for all your karaoke needs.

Featuring a top of the line Karaoke Player capable of playing CD+G, DVD, VCD and Digital Downloaded Songs in MP3+G format, it could even record your performance.

The package was complete with a powerful amplifier and speaker system built in, in a mobile all-in-one box with wheels and suit case style pull along handle.

It was loved by performers, schools, function centres and the like and especially at home, at it had everything you could want in an affordable all-in-one package.

There have been improvements as technology improved, a couple of years later we had the MDJ-002 which was modularized with separate amplifier (choice of KA-09 and KA-10) and karaoke player (MP2000) but still in an all-in-one road case. This also allowed for external speakers for larger settings and we even did a touch screen option for playing MP3+G songs on the Android Tablet. This was a very popular version as you could configure it several ways.

Sonken even experimented with an all digital version, playing MP4 karaoke files, together with a Portable Powered Speaker System (with rechargeable battery) complete with 2 Wireless Microphones. This time it had an in-built HD video projector and came with a portable cinema screen.

It was an amazing concept, as this was truly a portable device with it's rechargeable battery system. Customers liked the in-built video projector but they still really wanted the option of playing their karaoke CD+G, DVD and VCD discs, along with Karaoke MP3+G files.

So with this in mind, we set out to develop the best of all 3 models, and that brought us to the current model released in March 2018, the MDJ-003. 

This has the option of either having the Sonken MP4000 Professional Karaoke Machine installed at the top which can play all the karaoke songs be it CD+G, DVD, VCD or MP3+G, but also could stream via Bluetooth from your Phone or Tablet (using Karaoke Apps or even from YouTube) and even record the vocals from these digital devices back on the MP4000 to USB or SD Card.

You also had the Powerful 150 Watts RMS Amplifier and Speaker System the most powerful yet in the series complete with a Guitar input as first featured on the MDJ-001 but excluded on the MDJ-002.

Plus its very own Bluetooth Streaming Feature, SD or USB slot to play MP3 Audio files, FM Radio, Line Input for other devices, plus a front facing Blue LED Light Strip for extra party atmosphere which could be switched on or off.

It also came with 2 Wireless Microphones as standard and included an internal rechargeable battery system for the Amplifier and Speaker, or could also be used on mains power. It also has a DC 12 Volt external power source connection, i.e. connecting to a car battery.

The Sonken MP4000 Player does however require mains power to function.

The best part is, that it is also much lighter than all the previous models dropping from nearly 30kg on the MDJ-001/2 series to only 18kg making it much easier to move around.

So if you're looking for the ultimate portable karaoke all-in-one system make sure you take a look at the...

And most importantly we have the all the karaoke songs available from the all the Karaoke Studios in the World.

If it's available to sing on Karaoke we have it.



The Sonken MP4000 Karaoke Machine is exclusively available from KHE.com.au in various packaged deals including songs and wired or wireless microphones.

Also avaliable in a combination with the KBEATBOX Karaoke Powered Speaker System with thousands of songs, we call it the DJ Buster!

Professional Mixer With Bluetooth for your Home Theatre Amplifier

Did you know you can add on a Karaoke Mixer for your existing Home Theatre Amplifier or HI-FI System?

This allows you to use your existing Amplifier for Karaoke purposes.

You can of course use either wired or wireless microphones and you have a host controls at your finger tips to adjustment and mix your voice along with the music for that perfect performance.

Simple then connect your Karaoke source i.e. (Karaoke Hard Drive, DVD Player) to the Line Input of the Karaoke Mixer to play your songs.

Or use the Bluetooth connectivity option so you can play songs from other devices like your smart enabled TV, mobile phone or tablet using a Karaoke APP, YouTube or streaming service.

This just one of the ways to use your existing audio gear and adapting it so you can also use it for Karaoke purposes.

Please note, we don't recommend using a Sound Bar for karaoke purposes at all, regardless of how expensive the Sound Bar is as you can run the risk of damaging the small speakers inside when using microphones.

Likewise if your Home Theatre speakers are satellite speakers then you should also not use them in our opinion, for the best results 2 Channel Stereo should be selected on the Home Theatre Amplifier using the front mains providing they have both a woofer 6" or greater in size with a separate tweeters in each, keep in mind any sub woofer will be disabled in 2 channel stereo mode, don't use surround mode.

In these circumstances it might be better to look at a couple of alternatives for karaoke at home, like a Bluetooth / AUX enabled Powered Speaker which comes with 2 Wireless Microphones.

KBEATBOX are the market professionals in this space and have many different sized solutions dedicated to this purpose.

Many of our customers have decided to go down this path and have chosen a dedicated all-in-one karaoke solution from KBEATBOX, which then leaves your Home Theatre as is for what it was originally designed for which was watching "Movies" in surround sound and leave the karaoke stuff in the capable hands of KBEATBOX.

Now some of our customers still want a dedicated Karaoke Mixing Amplifier and Speaker Package these are not portable in the traditional sense and much like your Home Theatre System are generally setup in a dedicate area and left in place.

They are designed to give singers more mixing capabilities over that of the All-In-One Systems which as simplified so anyone can use them with ease. 

These units do take more time to understand how to use them, and like most things once you have a play around with it you quickly get to understand whats sounds best to your ears.

You also get two speakers as standard with these systems so naturally again the output power is greatly increased when moving to these types of systems.

And to finish off we have a new product recently introduced by ACNOS SoncaMedia which is a ultra compact Karaoke Mixer which is really easy to use, with all the must have features anyone can understand how to use in seconds.

It's called the Mi-30s Bluetooth Karaoke Mixer and the best part is it comes with Professional UHF Wireless Microphones included. I can tell you the Wireless Microphones included are excellent and well worth the price of the Mixer on it's own, really your getting the Mixer part for free in my opinion, its unbeatable value for money.

But don't think because its compact that it doesn't do much, it has every connection you could ever need, so you can connect a Smart TV, Laptop, Phone, Tablet or Karaoke Hard Drive (Like the ACNOS KM-8) with ease.

Yeah it features Bluetooth, Optical Input, Optical Output, Line Input, Line Out, HDMI ARC, USB (for MP3 Audio Playback) and even a Guitar Input.

They even have ACNOS Mixing APP for more audio enhancements.

So with the Mi-30s you can connect to anything essentially feed the audio into the Mi-30s and then output the audio through your existing sound system and sing-along with the included microphones.

It's probably the easiest and most cost effective way to get into karaoke today, and its so portable you can take it with you to friends and family gatherings and connected it in minutes and have hours of fun!
