Thanks

This look pretty reasonable. I have just this from a March Newsletter.

Have a look at the Behringer range of mixers we use these for karaoke application and they work well.

Same here. I use a 12 Channel Behringer Xenyox Mixer for Karaoke.

I use a small Alesis mixer which has 4 mic inputs and echo/reverb FX's which are essential for Karaoke.

This is my one, http://www.alesis.com/multimix8firewire

However you probably don't want the firewire option and you may prefer sliders to twisty knobs. And you may want more channels???

I 2nd the beringer mixers mention above too!

i've gone down the powered mixer route --- use an f.b.t or a dynacord and got an old studiomaster for backup

If you question is which is the best on to use and money is no problem......Dynacord, Dynacord, Dynacord.

If your question is which is the best desk to use that will not break the bank then there are fairly some nice powered desks out there for £500 ish look around. These are both powered mixers.

Unpowered mixers I would probably always go for an Allen & Heath or Spirit Folio or something.

Behringer is a good recommendation. For karaoke buy cheaper stuff, it doesn't matter that much because karaoke tracks are so badly put together and often the singers aren't much better! Buy two - one for a spare. Get one with sliders not knobs for faders. You can control four micophones with one hand simultaneously. We use Yamaha's which have basic compression on 4 channels - this helps to compensate for singers with no microphone technique. They RRP at about 200 quid. Downside is the external mains transformer that is like a house brick.

Don't bother with peavey - we've had 3 repairs on faulty sliders in 2 years.

We have number of powered mixers including Dynacords and Studio Masters that are ideal for karaoke. I do believe we have a Behringer kicking around too!

If you're on a budget, there's the SoundLab G742 which I bought for £350 and made about £20 worth of modifications to to bring it up to a reasonable standard. It's a reliable workhorse now!

If your after a mixer-only that's suitable for karaoke then try the KAM Audio Pro 1500 which is ideal for karaoke and a decent price too.

Dunno, but Daryll's selling a Yamaha, which I believe would suit the OP.

I've never been one to sell gear. I have plans for world domination and put out a thousand DJs every night so the kit will all come in useful one day! :D

Well, I can dream!

I did get the Behringer for free as it required a few sliders replacing. I think it's been used twice. One of the Studio Masters is bust but I might get round to fixing it one day. The Dynacords are used for karaoke and for charity nights when we do the Blues Brothers tribute show as they have lots of inputs. And the Soundlab is set up in my room with a small pair of 8in speakers so I can practice. I've also got 2 small mixers one of which is part of my dads hi-fi set up so he can practice his karaoke singing :eek:
