5.0 out of 5 stars Karaoke fun, January 24, 2009

This is great fun for the kids. It was easy to set up. There's room for two microphones (it comes with one, but you may buy another), and you can add an electric guitar.

I have a Sansa mp3 player, which connected easily and works well, though it doesn't seat in the mp3 holder well. That might hold an IPOD, but I don't know. It sits, but it's not well-seated and can fall out easily.

The mic volume can be controlled up or down and there are independent switches for each mic, but if the volume of the music is turned down, the mic is also turned down. There is no way to turn the mic volume so it is louder than the music. It is possible to turn the music completely off and sing to nothing.

There is an echo option which can be controlled to allow for more or less echo in the voice.

The vocal eliminator function will eliminate vocals from a track at the touch of a button. The vocals are not completely eliminated and the music is a little distorted, but that is to be expected when eliminating vocals from a track. It is not possible to do without a little distortion. It's a nice feature to have so we don't have to go out and buy a bunch of karaoke music.

The biggest drawback to this karaoke system over others is that it lacks the lyrics display. Of course, when using our regular mp3's, we don't have lyrics anyway; but there is no option of getting lyrics display if we wanted it. I simply go find the lyrics on the internet and print them out.

The kids enjoy this microphone. Sometimes, they don't necessarily use it for singing, but it's a fun system and we will get lots of enjoyment out of it as we have already.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sing Away!!!, December 9, 2008

By	R. Brickner - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Memorex MKS-SS1 SingStand Home Karaoke System (Electronics)

I have wanted a karaoke machine for years but hated having to buy so many cd's for the music. Well not anymore, I can use my own music. I loved this machine and so did my 3 kids. I have used it almost every day since I got it.

I do have 3 problems with the SingStand but for me personally it didn't take away enough to give it less than 5 stars. 1) The space for the ipod is not big enough. 2) When I first plugged it in it didn't work. I had to remove and insert the plug several times and then it worked fine. 3) The "vocal" button to remove the original vocals makes it sound kind of garbled. Again, for me these are not big issues but they might be to someone.

I would highly recommend this product.

It works great! Would recommend it to anyone who wants a decent mic. Sound is pretty good. Has great features that can make a song an instrumental and adding additional instruments.
