Sound Town Wireless Microphone Karaoke Mixer System with HD Audio Return Channel, Optical (Toslink), AUX, Supports Smart TV, Media Box, PC, Bluetooth, Soundbar, Receiver (SWM16-MAX)

Easy to set up, no need to waste time. The sound is worth the price.

Works well, need sometimes to figure out how to connect properly

This little thing is great. I have an older HTPC that I have been using for years, used to use it for a lot of things but now just karaoke. Unfortunately, the power supply died and I don’t want to keep upgrading that for karaoke, so enter this little gadget. I was super excited that it has HDMI in and out making it super easy to connect. I tried to hook it up to my AppleTV box, but it wouldn’t work at all with AppleTV 😔. So, I figured i would try with my XBox instead. Works really well, only the HDMI audio would click out every 20 seconds or so - really annoying. I instead ran the optical cable (included in the box) to my receiver, using HDMI video out + optical audio and and it works great!I did need to buy an HDMI splitter to go with this (splitter, not a switch, as I don’t want to have to push another button every time I use it). You could leave this unit turned on at all times, but I don’t like the bright red power light while using other sources and I don’t believe this unit supports HDR video (not sure about 4K either) so I set it up so this only turns on when I want it for karaoke. Hope this helps people with ideas on how to set this up at your house!

Easy to install between your soundbar and TV. I used the optical cables. The only issue I have is the balance between the mic and the sound input could be better as I cant quite get enough mic output no matter how much I try.Theres also some effects which is great but they effect both mics. It would be better if it could be set to each mic as Id prefer the reverb to be on the backup singer microphone only, or the tone adjustment to be different between mics as one mic might be a male and one might be a female.But for the price this is note bad.

What a disappointment. I was excited about this product and the fact that I could get it the following day through Amazon so I didn't read the hit or miss reviews.It arrived on time and was easy to connect the optical cables that come with it to the TV and my AV Receiver, but neither one of the microphones will pair to the Karaoke receiver.Following the troubleshooting directions in the manual I powered down the mic and the receiver. Then held the mic power button down til I got the flashing "1d". At that point I quickly released the power button and quickly press it one time which put it into pairing mode, which was confirmed by the flashing signal icon in the top right corner of the mic's LED display. Then I turned on the karaoke receiver and waited for it to pair and nothing. After about 10 seconds the mic moved out of pairing mode as the icon stopped blinking.It tried this several times and nothing. Tried it in an area that had no other electronic devices and nothing. Even when out and bought the best world champion AA alkaline batteries available just to check that box and nothing. Tried to contact the manufacturer, but their support line has better than bankers hours Mon-Fri from 10am to 5:30pm so I sent a detailed email help request.We'll see what happens, but regardless, any simple fix if one even exists should have been in the manual.

It's our second one and it's a good upgrade that gives it improved functionality (for those familiar with it, with a smart TV, you no longer need a dongle (i.e. Chromecast to connect).

I was disappointed with the mixer and I ended up returning it for a refund.I hooked the mixer up to my Vizio M-Series soundbar and my Vizio M-Series TV. The wireless microphones that came with the unit and my own corded microphone both had delays that created an echo.I hooked it up using all sorts of combinations using Optical, HDMI Aux. I changed the soundbar equalizer to all the different settings it had eg (Movie, Music, Direct, Game). The echo still remained.The mixer and microphone did not feel cheap -- they had a bit of weight to them and seemed like quality. The mixer and microphones may work for other brands of soundbars and TVs -- I don't know.I do think that the mixer will work with a receiver instead of a soundbar without the mics having an echo.It also probably best not to be running raw mic vocals through your home theater system as this could blow the speakers. Home theater systems use compression on the audio and are not designed to handle raw vocals. So be careful, if you plan to use you home theater for Karaoke.

I initially bought the SWM 15 with HDMI connections but had trouble getting my Sony Bravia to the mixer and to my Samsung sound bar to work. I tried multiple ways of connecting them with the supplied cables. I even tried using the AUX cable from my tv to mixer and optical cable to my sound bar like I read in another review but it didn't work. I ended up returning the mixer and bought the SWM 16-pro with Optical connections. I connected the optical cable to my tv's audio optical out to the mixer optical in than the other optical cable that was supplied to my sound bar and VOILA. Easy peasy! That's how easy I thought it would be with the 1st unit but I'm not sure if my tv is older but using the HDMI ARC didn't work for me. I hope this helps you out because I tried to read a lot of reviews and watch videos but it was trial and error for me.
