RSQ NEO-22 Karaoke Machine (CD+G/DVD/MP3+G)

The name RSQ (Real Sound Quality) based in the USA is well known in the Karaoke world and is strongly linked to the brand JVC (Victor Company of Japan, Ltd) who made the some of the worlds most popular karaoke machines like the SV-222 single tray and MV-333 triple tray.

Of course back then state of the art technology with only CD+G and VCD playback, long before the dawning of DVD and today's MP3+G.

Today the SV-222 and MV-333 models are getting old and JVC the original makers for RSQ of the technology simply don't have any more spare parts for these ageing superstars.

Technology has moved on and new formats have emerged like MP3+G the digital equivalent of CD+G (and yes you can convert you existing CD+G's into MP3+G files see www.mp3g.com.au ) and RSQ's own format NEO+G a super capacity format, though the NEO+G format really never caught on as the NEO discs will not work on other karaoke machines.

But when you have owned something so reliable for so long whether it be branded JVC or the later RSQ you don't want to jump ship too fast and I can understand that, and many owners of their JVC/RSQ Karaoke Machines just don't want to part with them.

JVC is no longer making machines but RSQ have followed on from where JVC left off with the brand new RSQ NEO-22 Karaoke Machine and it still uses the famous JVC mould for the front fascia.

A Professional Karaoke Machine, strong and sturdy and with all the technology for today's Karaoke world built in so now you can upgrade your old work horse and enjoy all the new content available which our older machines simple struggle to play with the new RSQ NEO-22 Karaoke Machine now available from Karaoke Home Entertainment.

This system is no-longer available but we suggest you take a look at the www.mp4000.com.au professional karaoke system which has been designed by Sonken Australia.

Let's Record Your Karaoke Performance!

The idea of recording your performance generally invokes one of two responses from people when we mention of the idea of recording your karaoke performances.

Its either, why would you want to do that? or... and oh really tell me more...

Yes the two couldn't be further apart there's not even a hope of middle ground here, for some people the idea is enough to freak them out, they just love to sing and have some fun.

But for many karaoke singers the idea is to improve their performance, so they practise the same song time and time again the same song until they nail it.

A popular way to help this process is to use Multiplex Karaoke Discs, also known as MPX. These are the same as the normal karaoke tracks but they also feature chorus line backing vocals. These discs give you the ability to switch the vocals on and off again, in real time.

The stereo backing track consists of a Left and Right audio channel. Using a Karaoke Machine you can knock out the left or right audio track, using the L/R button on your remote control. Together they play in Stereo, when you switch off the left track you drop the lead vocal leaving the just the backing track playing on the right, is is also known as the karaoke version which features the chorus line vocals only.

These MPX songs let you sing along with the cover artist, no it's not going to be Kylie Minogue or Frank Sinatra but a professional cover vocalist performing the song in the style of the original artist.

This way you can learn the right times to come in and get the style of the song down pat and when you think your good enough to go solo, just switch the the left track to switch off the vocalist and go for it.

This technique can help you improve your singing and performances, the other way is to record yourself, so you can hear how you sound, it might explain why the police keep showing up at your home on karaoke night or why the cat has moved house. The only way to know for sure is to record and then you can work on improving your vocal sound.

It was a very expense process for one our karaoke regulars who spent many hours at a recording studio. Over the last year he spent over $5000 recording his favourite songs making Cd's for his friends and family. One day when he visited the store to purchase more songs, I learnt what he was doing with the songs. When he told me how much each session was costing him I said why don't you just get one of these, it costs less then half a recording session.

He looked at me like I was pulling his leg, can you really do that! Yes you can I said.

We have many different solutions for recording. There is a portable device which will connect to any Karaoke Machine with RCA audio outputs (which is every machine/player ever made has), this portable device will also connect to any amplifier or mixing desk console with either line or record output.

That means you can take this portable device which is the about double the size of a USB memory stick with you to the karaoke venues ask the DJ to connect it to the line out on his mixer press record when it's your turn and away it goes. 

It will record all the music and your voice straight to it's memory banks, when you're finished press the stop button and you can listen back via the headphones or connect it to your PC and take the songs off the device so you can play, mix, email, facebook, share or whatever you want to do with the songs. Sounds to good too be true? This product is called the Recordio.

Other options include a Karaoke Player / Machine that also records your voice and the music being played directly to a USB memory stick or SD Memory Card. All you have to do is connect a microphone to these types of players insert a karaoke CD+G disc select the song you want to play, press record and the machine will start recording. Once you're finished you can play it back instantly it will even record the on-screen lyrics so you can see if you were in or out of time.

You can also change the key up or down, add echo, reduce or increase the music volume and of course the volume level of the microphone all of which will be recorded.

This is the device that everyone uses to record their singing performances, its called "Recordio" the Portable USB Digital Recorder.

You Wanted The Best, The Hottest Band In The World KISS

KISS is the iconic American rock band which formed in New York City in January 1973.

Best known for its members' face paint and flamboyant stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid to late 1970s on the basis of their elaborate live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits and pyrotechnics.

Counting the 1978 solo albums, Kiss has been awarded 28 gold albums to date, the most of any American rock band.

The band has sold more than 40 million albums in the United States and their worldwide sales exceeds 100 million albums.

The 1973–'80 original lineup of  Paul Stanley (vocals and rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (vocals and bass guitar), Ace Frehley (lead guitar) and Peter Criss (drums) is the most successful.

They are still rocking the world today with concerts, I last saw them in Melbourne at the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park in 2008 for the after race concert which was fantastic and though I love motor racing this was better then the race for me!

A year earlier Paul Stanley was touring on his 2nd solo album "Live To Win" in Australia and that was a great solo performance, and if your a KISS fan grab the album and better yet the Live DVD of the solo tour which is excellent as he performs with the Rock Star: INXS house band and sings classic KISS songs and from both solo albums.

Want more songs for your Magic Sing?

Are you frustrated that you can't get the songs you hear on the radio for your Magic Sing Karaoke Microphone?

Are you constantly looking for more songs? Abba, Lady Gaga, The Bee Gees, Cliff Richard, Elvis, Guy Sebastian, Sky Hooks, INXS, John Farnham, Garth Brooks, Jim Reeves, Michael Jackson, Michael Buble, The Eagles and the list goes on, and I'm not talking about one or two songs but 15, 20, 50 of there songs?

If you are, you are not alone, the Magic Sing units are a neat little karaoke system and especially good with you want foreign languages as they have a host of different song chips from Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, Thai, Spanish, German, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, French, Hindi, Arabic and Italian songs all for Karaoke.

The biggest single issue is the lack of English song artists, not a day goes by at Karaoke Home Entertainment where we are asked "do you have the latest songs"?

The answer sadly is always "no" not because we don't have it or don't want to sell it, we just can't get it.

We have been selling Magic Sing for over 6 years now and it is by far our biggest frustration, there is a new model every six months you can bet your bottom dollar on it, but you are lucky to see a song chip released during the year.

We always suggest to a new customer before you choose which model you are going to buy make sure they have available the songs you know and more importantly want to sing, because if they are not there your never going to be happy as the chances of them releasing more song chips is just not realistic.

In 2010 we got wind of a new range of English song chips which we were told are going to replace the current 25 English song chips. Well we said to ourselves 8 chips less in the range but we are getting new songs so that has to be good for our customers.

Wrong... the problem is their was nothing new forthcoming, in fact all they did was reshuffle the deck in this case the song deck, moving songs around from one chip to another re mixing them to look like new compilations but they were just the same old songs from before.

In the reshuffle we actually lost songs, one chip I think is was volume 5 had 7 Abba songs everything available on Magic Sing. Now the same songs are spread cross several chips, forcing you to buy several chips to get them all.

We have asked them to make specific Australian content music but the best they came up with is two chips called Aussie Radio Hits 1 + 2 which are main stream artists on the global stage but no Aussie artists soh's to speak, these chips are by far the most popular, but are getting very dated now.

Magic Sing has also been promising the option of downloading songs for your Magic Sing, models as far back as the 2005 the first model the ED-8000 had a USB port and they even made a blank recording song chip pack so you could do two things, one; record your singing performances and two; download songs from magic sing (at a cost of course) and compile your own custom song chip.

Well sadly it's 2012 and that still don't exist, it does in Korea the home town of Magic Sing but the site is 100% Korean and doesn't to my knowledge accept international clientele.

Not that you can read or work out what to do in any case. We have given up asking about the download option as it is clear they have no intention of doing it which is a pity.

ET-23KH Magic Sing Model released February 2013 which now was MP3+G Download Technology so you can expand the song library beyond chips, now you have access to all the songs on CD+G or MP3+G in this hybrid model.

Multiplex songs were introduced in 2010 with selected models but they only gave around 10 to 30 songs depending on the model as a tease and it came with the future promise that they would release Multiplex only song chips. I have been told they have many hundreds multiplex songs but don't want to release them as they don't think anyone wants them!

I told them everyone who owns a Magic Sing wants Multiplex songs, we get asked all the time for them, we pressed hard to get them to make available even if only on our download service. I was told we would get answer re our download proposal with in 3 weeks, well it's February 2012 and I'm still waiting and yes I have followed it up every month for about six months to get the same response "3 weeks".

In December 2011 the prices of chips finally dropped in price and they now all sell for $89.99 which is a fare drop from the highs of $129.99 but they are the same old chips.

TIP: You can find some newer songs on Filipino/Tagalog/English chips as this market is very large so they placed newer chart hits on these chips, but they refused to release them just solely on their own without the Filipino songs.

For the price of a few Magic Sing Song Chips you can have the very latest Sonken MP4000 Karaoke Machine which will play not only CD+G, DVD but also is a MP3+G player!

Problem solved, see Magic Sing at best has maybe 6000 to 7000 English songs, I think the figure is closer to 5000 once doubles are removed, on the MP3+G format alone their are over 100,000 songs, from the worlds largest names in Karaoke like  Abraxa Karaoke, SBI Karaoke, Aaron Aardvark Karaoke, Zoom Karaoke, Vic Karaoke (New Zealand) and many others.

The songs from these manufactures are professional sounding tracks with backing vocals and you can even get multiplex songs too if you so choose. Purchase the songs you love, download them to your PC and transfer to a USB Memory Stick or SD Card to play them on the MP4000, the best part is each week there are new songs added.

You can get songs from the 1920's to the songs your listening to on the radio which are hot right now!

You create a song for all your MP3+G songs and enter in a unique song number to play the song instantly. You can also scroll through the selection on the TV menu by song or artist.

It's just too easy!

The best part is that you will no-longer be limited to a select range of songs on disc (CD+G, DVD or VCD) or via digital download in MP3+G format.

So stop being frustrated and get singing, enjoy everything that karaoke has to offer! Don't be locked in set yourself free explore the karaoke world and all the songs it has to offer.

Take the step today, talk to a KHE team member let us show you what you've been missing out on all this time. And for the price of a single song chip you are one step closer to realizing an amazing karaoke experience.
