Play Karaoke CD+G or MP3+G Songs on your Max Karaoke System

Not only does the Max Karaoke Portable System allow you to play the very latest Karaoke Songs in pristine HD-MP4 quality on your the large 15" screen whilst you are sing-along on using the 2 included wireless microphones.

But you can also bring along your existing Karaoke content (CD+G or MP3+G) you have already purchased from Karaoke Home Entertainment and Picknmix.com.au.

Now the Max Karaoke system will not directly play these older media types but you can convert your CD+G or MP3+G's to MP4 using special optional software.

Then you can still enjoy your existing songs, keep in mind you might like to re-acquire new versions in HD-MP4 which also come with the Multiplex aka MPX on/off feature. 

Then you can sing-along with the cover-vocalist to better learn the song, also good if you have shy singers to have these special vocal tracks.

The Series 2 Max Karaoke - WSS (Wired Screen Share) - Released September 2019 enables you to also connect your Mobile Phone or Tablet via a USB cable and then SHARE the contents displayed on your Phone / Tablet (both audio and video) through the Max Karaoke Portable System.

With this amazing feature (WSS) you can then also stream audio/video content from YouTube through your device via the Max Karaoke.

Karaoke For Kids (and the Adults too)

What's the one thing all kids love to do.. Sing

Yes singing, they love watching TV's shows like Australian Idol, X-Factor, Australia's Got Talent, The Voice and Voice Kids and they want to join in.

Karaoke for the kids is a great way to keep your kids entertained all year round with birthday parties, Christmas holidays, new years eve parties and breaking up school holiday boredom.

It's fun for all ages, even the adults, yes once the kids are tucked in at night give it a go!

Singing is a great educational learning tool as it helps your kids with their reading as they sing-along with the on-screen lyrics.

Singing a great confidence booster for children when they get up and sing in front of others.

It's easy, affordable and great family fun and your friends will love it too.

We get many calls from parents looking to hire a karaoke system for a children's birthday party or special occasion, when we tell them how cheap it is to own a system and its yours forever, they are really surprised. In most cases they've been quoted between $300 and $500 for the hire of a system, for a few hours of fun.

The range of karaoke music available is massive, all the latest Australian radio hits are available, including popular children's songs and nursery rhymes, with new songs available weekly.

I will run through some of the popular options for both kids and adults to enjoy the experiencing of singing.

 Karaoke is a lot fun, confidence building and really good for your health too as well as being very affordable, so read on and let's see what might best suit you.  

There are Karaoke options for everyone starting with the Karaoke Mixer, which connects to your Smart TV for streaming services (YouTube, etc) or via Bluetooth (to your Phone, Tablet, Laptop, Smart TV etc.) for streaming audio through the mixer and even your DVD Player so you can sing-along to Karaoke DVDs etc.

The sound is feed into the Mi-30s Mixer via AUX, HDMI, Optical Audio or Bluetooth from your device (i.e. Phone, Tablet, Laptop, Smart TV etc.) then you output the sound from the Mi-30s to you existing sound system or even sound bar via AUX or Optical Audio Out.

So the Mi-30s gives your existing sound system both a vocal and music mixer and 2 Professional Wireless Microphones to sing-along!

The ACNOS Mi-30s as pictured above also comes with a bonus Karaoke APP for your phone or tablet so you have free access to thousands of karaoke songs in Vietnamese, Chinese, Philippines and English.

But of course you can also use the any Karaoke Apps or Karaoke Streaming Services with the Mi-30s, their is no limit to Karaoke Apps, Streaming Services available in your app store (Android or Apple) and of course many people just use YouTube Karaoke.

.....

The 2nd option is a Karaoke Powered Speaker and these are designed to with having everything in one easy to use box, Amplifier, Speaker and Wireless Microphones and this way you have dedicated karaoke sound system for this purpose, as many customers don't want to use or mess with an existing sound systems setup. 

More importantly customers want the flexibility to be able to move the system around or take it with them to friends houses or even away on trips.

A Karaoke Powered Speaker is a stand-alone device, so you can listen to your music via your mobile phone or tablet from apps like Spotify, YouTube etc using Bluetooth.

They are all portable with a rechargeable battery (3-5 Hours) usable time and you also can play MP3 audio from a USB Memory Stick.

 You can get them in various output powers from 50 to 300 Watts (RSM) and different phyiscal sizes with something for everyone and every occassion!



But the best part is you can sing-along karaoke style using Karaoke Streaming Services and view the lyrics on your mobile phone, tablet, laptop or smart tv and connect either via Bluetooth or Line Input Cable the audio and sing-along with the Wireless Microphones.

This option of a "Karaoke Powered Speaker" is today one of the most popular ways to enjoy karaoke as everyone just about has a phone, tablet, laptop or smart tv to provide the karaoke content (Karaoke App or YouTube) so you just have to pair your device and sing-away!



You can even add on a 15.6" KTV Touch Screen if you want a dedicated system without the need to pair someones phone or tablet, this way anyone can just walk up and select a song from either a karaoke app you have installed or YouTube and start singing.

Plus you can also output the KTV Touch Screen to another TV via HDMI so more people can see all the fun and join in!

.....

The third option is the Sonken MP-4000 Karaoke Machine, this Professional Karaoke Machine connects directly to your home television to view the karaoke lyrics and you play karaoke discs or downloads (from USB) and is the system of choice if you don't want to use Karaoke Apps or YouTube as many of these services has advertsing in between songs or visiable on the screen whilst a song is playing unless you have a paid service (subscription).

This is a system the customers use when they want that professional sound and on-screen look. It lets you build a karaoke library of songs that you and your friends love!

You can connected the MP4000 to a home theatre system or Amplifier and Speaker System for a bigger and larger sound experience.

You can have some 3000 songs running from a USB/SD Card memory stick from a simple to use on-screen song menu so you can quickly select your songs. With over 100,000 songs available to purchase and growing weekly this gives you great flexibility in growing your song library.

Single song or full album's can be downloaded instantly 24/7, you then download to your PC and copy the files to a USB/SD Card for use in a the MP-4000 Karaoke Machine.

As an added bonus this Karaoke Machine will also record your performance to a USB/SD so you can improve your singing by playing back your performances and share it with your friends. 

It also features Echo for the microphone and Key Control as well and also supports Multiplex (MPX) Karaoke Vocal on/off songs.

You can also Stream Karaoke from your tablet or phone through the Sonken MP-4000 and sing-along and even record that performance back to USB/SD Card, though the video picture will remain on your device (i.e. Phone/Tablet).

The Physical Effects of Singing

According to Heart Search UK Singing is good for you!

All types of singing have positive psychological effects. The act of singing releases endorphins, the brain's "feel good" chemicals. It’s exactly the same when you eat a bar of chocolate. The good news with singing is that you don’t gain any calories!". 

Singing in front of a crowd, a-la karaoke, naturally builds confidence, which has broad and long-lasting effects on general well-being.

Regular exercising of the vocal cords can even prolong life, according to research done by leading vocal coach and singer Helen Astrid, from The Helen Astrid Singing Academy in London, "It’s a great way to keep in shape because you are exercising your lungs and heart. 

“Singing has physical benefits because it is an aerobic activity that increases oxygenation in the bloodstream and exercises major muscle groups in the upper body, even when sitting.

Singing has psychological benefits because of its normally positive effect in reducing stress levels through the action of the endocrine system which is linked to our sense of emotional well-being. 

Psychological benefits are also evident when people sing together as well as alone because of the increased sense of community and belonging.”

And as Sheldon Cooper (from Big Bang Theory) says "Live long and prosper", I wonder if he had Karaoke in mind when he said that!

It's easy and fun to get in to karaoke you can do it on your phone, laptop, tablet or get a dedicated karaoke machine.. 

Check out the ACNOS Mi-30s Karaoke Mixer with its two Wireless Microphones included, you'll be able to sing-along using Karaoke APPs, Streaming Services and even YouTube through your existing sound system all using your Smart TV, Phone, Tablet or Laptop.

Sonken SA-760 Karaoke Professional Amplifier

Very excited to announce the new Sonken SA-760 Karaoke Mixing Amplifier is now available exclusively to Karaoke Home Entertainment, previously only available in the USA now made especially for Australian market by Sonken.

Interested call 1300 550 630 to order yours!

Sonken KA-11 Karaoke Mixing Amplifier with Bluetooth & USB Record

Post Update May 2022: Sonken KA-13 Now available.

A new model from Sonken has arrived and it’s called the KA-11, this Karaoke Mixing Amplifier is the result of a couple of years work at Sonken to cleverly amalgamate two popular features in to a single working model being Bluetooth and Vocal/Music USB Record.

The KA series which stands for "Karaoke Amplifier" started with the 7 Series a few years ago and closely followed by the Series 8, which represented a high quality audio product including full mixing capabilities on board, without the need for a separate mixer unit, all at an affordable price to boot.

In 2013 the KA-09 and KA-10 Series were released, the look and the feel remained pretty much the same but we got two new features being Bluetooth in the KA-09 and USB Vocal and Music (MIX) Recording in MP3 in the KA-10 model.

Of course you could still connect your Karaoke Machine but with the KA-09 you could also stream music via Bluetooth from your digital devices i.e your smart phone, tablet or smart TV through the amplifier and sing-along mixing the music to your specific requirements, at the same time.

The KA-10 didn't have Bluetooth but you could record your performance back to a USB Memory Stick mixing both your vocals with the music sound track coming from your karaoke machine or CD or DVD player connected to it.

Essentially Sonken had created a home recording studio for you.

The really cool thing was that you could essentially have your cake and eat it with the KA-10 model because for a few dollars extra you could get a USB Bluetooth adapter called a dongle so when you weren't using the record feature you could instead stream from your Bluetooth devices just like the KA-09 model could. 

That was very cool and made the KA-10 more popular as it could essentially have both features.

As a result the KA-10 was quite often sold out due its dual capability. Sure there were plenty of people who had no interest in playing back a recording of themselves, that to some was just too scary a prospect.

It was KHE who suggested to Sonken throughout 2017 that they should look to consolidate the two models into a single offering, giving both features to everyone and at the same time fixing the supply issues.

The idea was simple enough but the technical ability to join the two features into a single product took some time to achieve, together with a lot of testing. We are happy to announce the release of the 2018 model the KA-11 Series with both Bluetooth and USB Record in the single model.

Sonken have also improved the sound quality, output power and the lifespan of the product with all the technical knowledge gained from the previous generation models resulting in the finished product being the new KA-11.

The KA-11 is now available from Karaoke Home Entertainment with or without matching speakers, check out the packages online and yes we do ship Australia wide.

More about Sonken...

Sonken is a Sydney, Australian based technology company with its very own factory located in mainland china producing it products to its propriety specifications, this also gives them a competitive edge as they are simply not just importing someone else's product.

The are the manufacturer, importer and distributor and any and all customer feedback is directly channelled back into research and development as they work towards a 100% percent customer satisfaction and a zero failure rate on any level constantly improving their technology and manufacturing processes. 

Unlike many other importers, they also back up there products with a local warranty and service centre in Sydney (NSW) and Dandenong South (VIC) , but most importantly the products all comply with Australian Government product laws governing for safety standards.

That simply cannot be said for all importers, I have seen several overseas karaoke brands being sold here, imported solely by the store selling them, the problem with this if the store closes down there goes your warranty, if the product becomes faulty do they have the spare parts or even the technical knowledge to repair the item and most importantly does the item meet the necessary Australian Government requirements for power and electrical safety just because they are selling it doesn't mean it has been certified to be sold in this country and anyone can import just about anything without it being certified to be sold, as you know questions only get asked once someone’s house burns down. 

Australia has one of the highest standards in the world hence why some brands aren't available here, the volume is too low for them to improve the technology to make it worth their while. If you happen to purchase any product that has a travel style adapter attached to the power cord that it is a clear sign it hasn't been approved for sale here as that is an illegal practice and you should seek an immediate refund as its very dangerous.

Especially when comes to Wireless Microphones purchased from overseas you can get in to real world trouble if your frequency isn't licensed for use in Australia and the fines are massive. 

All of Sonken's Wireless Microphones are sold on approved Australian frequencies. 

The Australian Government body ACMA polices the frequencies used in Australia. In 2015 these frequencies 694 to 820 MHz (the digital dividend band) were banned in Australia from being used anymore.

Remember that the onus is on you, not the overseas seller, who can't be touched by the Australian Government when things go wrong and if you get caught using frequencies designed to work for example, in the USA. 

Karaoke Home Entertainment (KHE.com.au) has been selling the Sonken range since 2005 and today are their biggest distributor and retailer partner in Australia.

KHE was appointed the sole distributor and retailer in 2022 with a showroom in Dandenong South (VIC).

KHE is actively working in partnership with Sonken to bring exciting products and features to the Australian audio and karaoke market.

Sonken also produce exclusively for KHE.com.au the Professional MP4000 Karaoke Machine (CD+G/DVD/VCD/MP3+G) with Bluetooth.

Our service and backup support is second to none you can read the reviews for yourself on Facebook, Google and on KHE.com.au
