Step 1 – Determine Budget and Space for Installing Karaoke System

Before purchasing a karaoke system, users should determine their budget and room size to allocate reasonable costs for speakers, amplifiers, microphones and accessories. At the same time, choose the appropriate equipment configuration for the space to ensure optimal sound quality.

1. Make a reasonable budget plan

Job reasonable budget planning is an important step to help buyers determine the investment cost for speakers, amplifiers, microphones and accessories. From there, buyers optimize sound quality according to their needs and room area.

Phuc Truong Audio recommends that buyers should allocate costs according to the following ratio: LoA (40%) - Amplifier/Digital Echo (30%) - Microphones & accessories (20%) - Source (10%) for the most balanced sound effect.

Budget segment	Investment value (VND)	Characteristics	Suitable Object
Basic (Cheap)	Under 10 million	Adequate equipment to meet the needs of small family singing	Small household, low budget
Mid-range (Popular)	10 - 25 million	Stable configuration, clear sound quality, durable	Family has private room, lover of singing
Advanced (Professional)	Over 25 million	Powerful, detailed, near studio-quality sound	Advanced audio player

Important note: Don't be too "economical" with speakers and amplifiers/digital reverbs, because these are two devices that determine the overall sound quality.

According to GfK Vietnam's 2024 home audio equipment market survey, mid-range customers account for more than 60% of the total number of karaoke system buyers during Tet.

2. Choose the configuration suitable for the room area

Sound quality is only achieved when the power of the device is suitable for the area and material properties of the room. Below is a table of suggestions for choosing choose configured by space area, compiled from actual acoustic tests.

Room size	Suggested configuration	Technical notes
Under 15 m²	Bookshelf speakers, wall-mounted speakers, moderate power	Limit bass that is too strong causing background noise
15 - 25 m²	2-way full-range speaker, amplifier from 300–500W RMS	Ensure sound spreads evenly, not harshly
Over 25 m²	Floor standing speakers (column speakers) or high power dual speakers	Should add subwoofer to increase bass depth

Step 2 – Choosing Core Equipment in Karaoke System

In the karaoke system, Speakers are the soul that determines more than 70% of sound quality., and the amplifier or digital echo is the heart that controls and amplifies the signal. Choosing the right equipment in terms of type, capacity and specifications will ensure a clear, balanced and powerful sound experience.

1. Karaoke speakers – the soul of the system

Speakers are the most important part of a karaoke system, responsible for transmitting all the energy and nuances of sound to the listener. In fact, more than 70% of the overall quality of a karaoke system is determined by the selection and matching of speakers suitable for the space used.

When choosing karaoke speakers, users need to pay special attention to the following 4 technical parameters:

• Common classification: Full-Range speakers, 2-3 way speakers (clearly divided into Treble - Mid - Bass).
• Sensitivity: ≥ 90dB helps speakers to be easily matched with amplifiers, saving energy.
• RMS power: Suitable for room area (about 10–15W RMS/m²).
• Treble sound quality: Paper Treble for soft sound, Titanium Treble for bright, detailed sound.

According to technical experience of Phuc Truong Audio, when testing in practice, customers should listen to music with a wide frequency range such as Bolero or Pop Ballad to check the sound balance between frequency ranges.

2. Amplifier or Digital Echo – the heart that controls the sound

If the speaker is the soul of the system, the amplifier or digital echo is the “heart” that controls the sound. This device takes on the role of amplifying and processing the signal, helping the sound to be clear, strong, and emotional – the decisive factor in the listening experience in both home and business karaoke systems.

Currently, the two most popular lines of equipment are traditional karaoke amplifiers and modern digital reverbs:

• Karaoke amplifier (traditional):
  • Advantages: Easy to use, natural sound quality, suitable for beginners.
  • Limitations: Few advanced tweaking features.
• Digital Processor:
  • Has EQ, compressor, reverb, delay, automatic anti-feedback.
  • Allows for studio-grade audio calibration.

Recommended power:

• The amplifier should be about 1.2–1.5 times higher than the speaker's RMS power.
• For example: 300W RMS speakers should be paired with a 360–450W amplifier to avoid distortion.
• Many Vietnamese users have the habit of choosing amplifiers with "slight excess capacity", helping the speakers operate more durably and reducing the risk of burning the coil when singing loudly during Tet.

Step 3 – Add Supporting Equipment to Complete the Sound Experience

Supporting devices such as microphones, music players and subwoofers play an important role in completing the karaoke experience, helping to create clear vocals and flexible music sources. Choosing the right space and capacity also ensures deep bass, balanced and stable sound.

1. Karaoke microphone – important input factor

The microphone determines the stability and detail of the voice, as this is the first device to record the sound. When choosing a microphone, users should note the following technical characteristics:

• Wired microphones: Stable sound, detailed, high durability.
• Wireless microphones: Priority should be given to UHF technology, with anti-howling, and reception distance over 20m.

Currently, the E3 and BCE microphone lines have good noise filtering capabilities and are most popular with consumers during the 2026 Tet season.

2. Music player – flexible source

Sound quality and karaoke experience depend largely on the music source. When choosing a player, consider the following two popular groups of devices:

• VietKTV, Hanet, Karaoke Plus Head: Providing online copyright music library, regularly updated, with phone control support.
• Smart TV or Karaoke App: Economical solution, suitable for young families, can connect Bluetooth or HDMI to digital echo.

3. Subwoofer – increases sound depth

For a stronger bass and more vivid sound, using a subwoofer is essential. When equipping a subwoofer, users should pay attention to:

• Role: Increase bass power, creating a more "satisfying" feeling when listening to remix or dance music.
• When to use: Rooms over 25m² or when listeners love strong bass.

Phuc Truong Audio suggests that small rooms should choose a sub with a capacity of ≤ 200W to avoid sound resonance causing background noise.

Tips for Smart Karaoke System Shopping Before Tet

Choosing and purchasing the right karaoke system before Tet not only helps save costs but also ensures optimal sound experience. Buyers need to consider factors from choosing equipment, time of purchase, to checking quality and after-sales service.

1. Should I buy a combo or combine the equipment myself?

The decision to buy a complete combo or to combine each device yourself directly affects the sound quality and the ability to upgrade in the future. When choosing, you should refer to the advantages and disadvantages of the following two options:

• Buy combo:
  • Advantage: Convenient, the devices have been pre-matched and compatible, saving time in selecting and installing.
  • Disadvantages: Less customizable to personal music preferences, difficult to optimize for each specific karaoke room.
• Self-mixing:
  • Advantage: Flexible, can optimize sound quality according to room and personal listening taste, easy to upgrade equipment later.
  • Disadvantages: It is necessary to clearly understand the capacity, impedance and the ability to match speakers, amplifiers and digital echoes. Errors can easily arise when choosing the wrong parameters.

According to experience from Phuc Truong AudioNew players or first-time buyers should prioritize a complete combo, while experienced players or those with existing equipment can mix and match to achieve optimal sound quality.
