Karaoke Portable System

Project Summary

Karaoke is a relatively newer form of entertainment in America. Its origins lie within the Asian Market, starting with the first Karaoke machine made in the 1970s. The basic principle of Karaoke is to provide a back tracking for artists or hobbyists to sing songs without the need for a complete band. Karaoke has evolved from a few hundred units being sold in Japan, to having in-home karaoke machines as home theater systems across the globe. With the increasing popularity in American culture, one can often see Karaoke as a form of entertainment in bars and nightclubs. This is often accompanied by lighting effects and multiple monitors to display lyrics to everyone in attendance, including the performer. Karaoke has also been seen in popular video games such as "Guitar Hero" and "Rock band" bringing a gaming entertainment to singing along with popular songs. The Karaoke Portable System (KPS) brings the essence of singing along with numerous songs in a portable package. With the KPS, no longer will it be required to go to a "Karaoke Night"at a bar, or will it be limited to an at-home experience. The KPS will bring the technology of Bluetooth to Karaoke allowing for Karaoke to exist in any moment, and at any time. The Karaoke System will strive to capture an audience of performers or singers with easy to use functionalities. There will be one button for powering the device on and off and will also have the capability of listening to music by connecting to Bluetooth with a mobile device. The overall objective of this project is to have a microphone that combines portable audio and voice into one device for karaoke while maintaining a low-cost design. .
