Experience in Buying Good and Suitable Family Karaoke Amplifier

Home karaoke amplifier is an audio device used to amplify and process audio signals, helping speakers produce clearer, more vivid sound, playing an important role in enhancing the home entertainment experience. 

According to a survey from VietAV, 75% of users noted that investing in a suitable amplifier significantly improves sound quality compared to using integrated speakers or low-power amplifiers.

When choosing to buy a home karaoke amplifier, you need to pay attention to 4 important technical parameters: output power (Watt), frequency response range (usually from 20Hz - 20kHz), harmonic distortion ratio THD (<1%), and signal/noise ratio SNR (>90dB). In particular, the amplifier capacity should be about 1.5 times the speaker capacity to ensure the best sound quality.

The secret to choosing the right amplifier includes: determining the room space and usage needs (rooms <20m² should choose 100-150W, rooms 20-40m² need 200-300W), calculating the compatible power with the speaker, checking sound processing features such as echo and equalizer, choosing a reputable brand, and should experience it in practice before buying.

The market currently has reputable karaoke amplifier brands such as Jarguar (Korea), Arirang, Boston, BK Sound and Paramax (Vietnam) with prices ranging from 3-20 million VND. Depending on your needs, you can choose the right brand and product.

Refer to the article below by Phuc Truong Audio to help you choose a family karaoke amplifier that suits your needs and financial capabilities.

What is a Family Karaoke Amplifier? 

Karaoke amplifier is a specialized audio device that amplifies signals from sources such as microphones, karaoke players, background music and transmits them to speakers. In addition to increasing volume, the amplifier also processes signals to balance audio frequency ranges (bass, mid, treble), thereby providing clearer and more vivid sound quality.

What technical specifications should a home karaoke amplifier ensure?

4 technical factors that a home karaoke amplifier needs to have:

• Output power (Watt): Shows the ability to amplify sound, suitable for room area and sound requirements.
• Frequency Response: The sound spectrum that the amplifier can handle, usually from 20Hz – 20kHz (Hi-Fi sound standard).
• Harmonic Distortion Rate (THD): Indicates signal fidelity, a value lower than 1% is considered good.
• Signal to noise ratio (SNR): Ensure the sound is free of noise, usually >90dB.

For example: If you use a wireless microphone to sing karaoke, the audio signal from the microphone will be amplified and processed by the amplifier so that the voice is emitted through the speaker clearly, without distortion or noise.

Why should you choose the right family karaoke amplifier?

Using the right home karaoke amplifier will help you ensure the following issues:

• Enhance sound quality: Amplifier helps vocals become clearer, bass becomes stronger and treble becomes clearer.
• Protect audio equipment: An amplifier that matches the speaker's capacity will avoid overload, helping to increase the life of the speaker and other equipment.
• Integrating modern technologyi: Many amplifier models today support features such as Bluetooth, DSP (Digital Signal Processing), and Feedback Control, providing convenience and superior sound quality.

Secrets to Choosing a Good, Suitable Family Karaoke Amplifier

To choose a good and suitable family karaoke amplifier, you need to carefully consider factors such as room space, capacity, features, brand and budget. Take the time to learn, listen and choose products from reputable suppliers for the best sound experience. A good amplifier not only improves the quality of the voice but also brings complete entertainment moments for your family.

1. Determine usage needs

Each family has a different karaoke room space, purpose of use and musical taste. Understanding the needs helps to choose the right product, avoiding waste or choosing the wrong equipment.

Some illustrative examples:

• Small room (<20m²): You should choose an amplifier with a capacity of 100W - 150W, enough to create clear sound without overloading.
• Large room (20m² – 40m²): Need a larger power amplifier, from 200W - 300W, to ensure the sound spreads evenly.
• Professional entertainment room: If you combine karaoke with high-quality music listening, consider amplifiers with integrated DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) to process digital audio signals, such as the California PRO-888 or Jarguar PA-506N series.

2. Amplifier capacity and speaker compatibility

Amplifier power plays an important role in amplifying the audio signal and compatibility with the speaker. If the amplifier has too low power compared to the speaker, the sound will be distorted or lack power. Conversely, too high power can damage the speaker.

Formula for calculating suitable capacity:

Amplifier capacity ≈ 1.5 times speaker capacity.

For example: If the speaker has a capacity of 150W, choose an amplifier with a capacity of 200W - 225W to ensure the best sound quality.

Practical example: For BMB CSD 2000 SE speaker (Power 300W), you can choose Jarguar PA-506N amplifier (Power 450W) to ensure balance and efficiency.

3. Sound quality and processing features

Karaoke amplifiers not only amplify signals, but also process sound through features such as filtering, balancing tones and adjusting echo. Choosing an amplifier with good processing capabilities will help the voice become clearer, more transparent and not distorted.

Important features to consider:

• Echo & Reverb: Helps the voice have smooth resonance, suitable for karaoke.
• Equalizer (EQ): Customize bass and treble to suit each type of music.
• Bluetooth & USB: More convenient for connecting to modern devices such as phones and laptops.
• Integrated DAC: Improves sound quality when playing from digital music files.

For example: HAS MC2300S Amplifier is highly appreciated for its in-depth echo adjustment ability, suitable for families who love karaoke.

4. Brand and reputation

When buying an amplifier, the brand and origin of the product are important factors to ensure quality and durability.

Prominent brands in the market:

• Jaguar: Amplifiers from Korea, famous for their high durability and stable sound quality. For example: Jarguar PA-506N Gold.
• California: American company, specializing in home karaoke sound, stands out with its diverse sound adjustment capabilities. For example: California Pro 888E.
• Arirang: Vietnamese brand with affordable price, suitable for basic needs.
• Paramax: Another Vietnamese brand, focusing on the low-cost segment but with good sound quality.

Note about counterfeit goods: According to statistics from inspection agencies, more than 20% of amplifiers on the market are fake or poor quality. Therefore, you should buy from reputable distributors or stores with clear warranty policies.

5. Price and product segmentation

Home karaoke amplifiers currently cost from 3 million VND to more than 20 million VND, depending on brand, capacity and features.

Price segment suggestions:

Price	Who is it for?	Product examples
3 - 5 million VND	Beginner, basic needs	Arirang SPA-203 III
5 - 10 million VND	Middle-class family, room <25m²	Jarguar PA-203N, Paramax SA-1000
10 - 20 million VND	High requirements, large room >30m²	California Pro 888, HAS MC2300S
Over 20 million VND	Professional karaoke system	Jarguar PA-506N Gold, Mixer Yamaha

6. Experience before you buy

Sound quality is a personal perception and can vary from person to person, so visit a professional store to listen to it before making a decision.

Advice: 

• Test sing a familiar karaoke song to check the echo and reverb quality.

• Listen to different genres of music (pop, bolero, remix) to evaluate the tonal balance.

7. New trends in karaoke amplifiers

Nowadays, digital amplifiers with integrated AI and remote control via phone applications are becoming a trend. For example, Paramax D88 has the ability to automatically calibrate the sound based on the room space.

Some modern amplifiers have built-in mixers, which save space and are easier to use, such as the Yamaha MG10XU.

8. Choose a reputable shopping address

Choosing to buy amplifiers at a reputable address not only ensures product quality but also helps you avoid counterfeit goods and receive a good warranty policy.

Note when choosing a shopping address:

• Check certification documents: Make sure the product has a clear origin, complete warranty stamps and invoices.
• Customer reviews: See reviews and feedback from previous buyers to know the store's reputation.
• After-sales policy: Choose a place with a transparent return and warranty policy.
