LAPTOP KARAOKE MACHINES

A laptop is also commonly known as a notebook which is a portable computer. A laptop that is going to be used as a karaoke machine will need to be powerful enough to run special karaoke hosting software which will handle the song list and playing of the music and lyrics.

Connecting a karaoke laptop to a sound system is usually an easy thing to do because the laptop will have an audio-out connection built into it which can connect to almost any amplifier or mixer with the correct cable. Make sure you have the correct cable to match the size plugs your laptop has. Some karaoke laptops will have a separate video-out connection to allow for the connection to an external TV or monitor which will be a lot better if you have a crown and a lot of people singing. If you are using your system at home or on your own then the built in screen will often be enough.
