A Yamaha ten-channel mixer with built-in reverb and echo — the difference between a voice over music and a karaoke vocal. A touch of echo is flattering on every singer, and this is the knob that provides it.
Four mic preamps take wired mics or wireless receivers, the stereo channels take the tablet station or a phone, and the XLR mains feed any powered speaker. The USB interface will even hand you a recording of the night, if you dare listen back. At 2.1kg it lives happily on a side table next to the snacks.
Who it’s for
Anyone running more than one mic source, and anyone who wants live control — vocals up for the shy singer, echo up for the big ballad. It is included in Party Karaoke for exactly that job.
When to skip it
- The JBL EON ONE MK2 already mixes five channels inside the speaker; casual nights can plug straight in.
- One mic set and one music source into a Bose S1 Pro+ — its two inputs cover it without help.
