Siqinisekisa ngokuzimela konke esikuncomayo. Uma uthenga ngezixhumanisi zethu, singase sithole ikhomishini. funda kabanzi>
UTom Dunn ungumbhali ogxile ekufudumaleni nasekupholiseni ikhaya. Wake waqhumisa intambo yokwandisa nge-space heater kanye ne-Marshall half-stack unit.
Ngemva komunye umjikelezo wokuhlola, sihlela ukwengeza i-Ikarao Shell S1 10.1-inch Smart Karaoke Machine njengeyintandokazi yethu entsha. Sizobuyekeza lo mhlahlandlela ngemininingwane eyengeziwe maduze.
Ingabe uyafisa ukucula? Ingabe uyafisa ukucula? Ingabe uphupha ngokucula izingoma zakho ozithandayo phambi kwabangane abambalwa abashisekayo, bejabulela ubuhle bomsindo ngaphansi kwezibani zasesiteji ezijulukayo zegumbi lakho lokuphumula? Nokho, bard yami ethandekayo, ungase udinge umshini wakho we-karaoke.
I-Karaoke iyindlela enhle yokuhlanganisa abantu abathanda umculo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bangabaculi abahle noma cha. Uma ufuna ukuba nesipiliyoni esihle kakhulu se-karaoke yasekhaya, sincoma i-Tonor K20 Wireless Karaoke Machine ngoba izokwenza ubukeke futhi uzwakale kahle kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukhetha ziphi izingoma.
Ifakwe amamakrofoni amabili angenantambo asezingeni eliphezulu kanye nebhola le-disco elihle kakhulu, lolu hlelo lwesipikha esiphathwayo lunakho konke okudingayo ukuze uqalise iphathi yakho ye-karaoke.
Umshini we-karaoke ongenantambo we-Tonor K20 uphumelela kakhulu ekusesheni kwe-karaoke ekhaya okuphumelelayo, okuhlanganisa i-tablet stand, ikhebula le-adaptha, kanye nezinye izesekeli eziningi ezicatshangelwe kahle. Uphinde ube nemakrofoni engenantambo ezwakala kahle kakhulu kunanoma yimuphi umshini we-karaoke esiwuhlolile, enobubanzi obungamamitha angaba yi-100 uma kwenzeka ukusebenza kwakho kungalawuleki. Ngombukiso wokukhanya we-LED owakhelwe ngaphakathi kanye nebhola le-disco phezulu, i-Tonor ingaguqula noma yiliphi igumbi libe yihholo lekhonsathi, okwenza ngisho nabaculi abanamahloni kakhulu bavulele izingoma abazithandayo. Njengazo zonke imishini ye-karaoke esiyincomayo, i-Tonor ayizi nomtapo wezincwadi wezingoma, ngakho-ke uzodinga uxhumano lwe-Wi-Fi kanye nesikrini ukuze ufinyelele i-YouTube (noma ezinye izinsizakalo) ukuze udlale umculo namagama. Kodwa i-Tonor ivelele ngokunikeza konke ukuxhumana komsindo okuzodinga, okuhlanganisa i-Bluetooth kanye nokufakwa komsindo okusizayo (kufakiwe nekhebula). Ungadlala umculo kusuka ku-USB stick noma ikhadi le-microSD. Kodwa-ke, izikhulumi zizwakala kangcono ngamavolumu aphezulu, okungaba nomsindo kakhulu kwabanye abasebenzisi (noma omakhelwane babo). Njengebhonasi eyengeziwe, i-Tonor inekhono lokuqopha elakhelwe ngaphakathi, ngakho-ke ungaqopha ukusebenza kwakho bese wabelana ngakho nabangani, noma ulalele ukusebenza kwakho kamuva bese ulungisa ithoni yakho.
Imakrofoni kaMoukey ayizwakali kahle njengoba besingathanda, kodwa isipikha ngokwaso sizwakala kahle futhi sinendawo yokuma yemakrofoni eyakhelwe ngaphakathi kolunye uhlangothi. Nokho, asiqiniseki ukuthi ubuso besikhova bufanelekile.
Izipikha zomshini we-karaoke we-Moukey MTs10-2 zizwakala kangcono kunezikhethelo zethu eziphezulu, ikakhulukazi uma ziphansi. Izilawuli eziyisisekelo nazo zilula ukuzisebenzisa, noma ngabe ezinye zezici ezengeziwe zingadida. Imakrofoni engenantambo nayo izwakala futhi ishibhile kancane - yize kunezitendi ezimbalwa zemakrofoni ezisebenzisekayo ezakhelwe eceleni kweyunithi. Njenge-Tonor, i-Moukey ingadlala izingoma nge-Bluetooth noma i-port yokufaka eyisizayo, i-USB stick, noma ikhadi le-microSD, futhi ingabonisa nombukiso wokukhanya we-LED onamandla ukuze ukhuthaze amaphupho akho esiteji. Kodwa-ke ayinayo ibhola le-disco, okuyinto edumazayo kakhulu kunalokho ebesikulindele, futhi isipikha ngokwaso, inkampani ethi sifana nesikhova, empeleni sibukeka njengelungu lezithameli ezithukuthele. Noma kunjalo, singakukhuthaza ukuthi ujabule ngempela ngengoma yakho elandelayo.
Ikhwalithi yomsindo yalo mshini omncane we-karaoke ophathwayo ayilungile njengeminye imikhiqizo yethu, kodwa iza nezibani eziningi ezijabulisayo nemiphumela yomsindo ukuze uhlale ujabule.
Uma ungenandaba kakhulu nekhwalithi yomsindo futhi ufuna nje ukuzijabulisa, i-Singsation Star Burst SPKA25 iyisinqumo esihle kakhulu. Incane ngokwanele ukuyiphatha ngesandla esisodwa, ongase uyidinge njengoba inama-microphone amabili anezintambo kanye nekhebula elingamamitha ayi-1.5 ubude. Kodwa-ke, njenge-Tonor K20, inebhola le-disco phezulu, kanye namaphethini ahlukahlukene e-LED angaboniswa kusipika uqobo. I-Singsation ifaka phakathi izinketho ezahlukahlukene zokushintsha iphimbo (cabanga ngo-Alvin no-Chipmunks), kanye neminye imiphumela yomsindo ejabulisayo ekuvumela ukuthi wengeze ama-air horn, ukushaya izandla, kanye neminye imihlobiso ekusebenzeni kwakho kwe-karaoke. Lokho kusho ukuthi, umsindo we-mic kanye nesipika ulungile kodwa awumuhle, futhi uwukuphela komshini we-karaoke ophelele esiwuhlolile ongenalo ibhethri elishajekayo elakhelwe ngaphakathi (lidinga amabhethri ayisishiyagalombili e-AA ukuze linikeze amandla ibhethri, elisebenza nge-adaptha yodonga ye-DC). Kodwa uma ufuna isipikha esilula esinombukiso okhanyayo okhulisa izwi lakho ukuze ucule kanye, i-Singsation iwumkhiqizo wokuzijabulisa ongabizi.
Uma usuvele unesistimu ye-stereo yasekhaya oyithandayo, i-Rybozen iyindlela elula nengabizi yokwengeza amamakrofoni angenantambo kuzipikha zakho.
I-Rybozen K201 Portable Karaoke Microphone Mixer empeleni iyidivayisi yokusakaza umsindo ekuvumela ukuthi ucule ngesistimu yakho ye-stereo ekhona usebenzisa ama-microphone angenantambo. Inikeza ukusetha okulula kakhulu: Kukhona okokufaka komsindo okungu-⅛-intshi kanye nokukhipha komsindo okungu-⅛-intshi, kanye ne-Bluetooth kanye nezintambo ze-adaptha ezahlukahlukene okufanele zisebenze nanoma yiluphi uhlelo lomsindo lwasekhaya. Isibonelo, ungaxhuma i-Rybozen ku-smart TV kanye ne-soundbar, noma uyixhume kukhompyutha noma kuthebhulethi kanye nezipikha zedeskithophu bese udlala izingoma zakho ozithandayo ze-karaoke ezivela ku-YouTube. Ngaphezu kokukhetha kwethu okuphezulu, i-Rybozen inama-microphone amahle kakhulu esake sawahlola, futhi ingenye yamamodeli ambalwa esiwazamile anikeza izilawuli zevolumu ngazinye ze-microphone ngayinye, uma wena nomlingani wakho oculayo nivame ukuhuba emazingeni ahlukene evolumu. Sekukonke, lokhu kuyindlela enhle uma usuvele unesistimu yomsindo ojabulayo ngayo futhi ungafuni ukugcina esinye isipikha.
Ngaqala ukubhala izingoma ze-Wirecutter ngo-2017, kwathi ngo-2000 ngaqala ukucula nokudlala isiginci emaqenjini kulo lonke elase-East Coast. Ngisebenze futhi njengonjiniyela womsindo weshashalazi kanye nomxube ezindaweni zomculo, futhi ngiklame futhi ngakhiqiza ama-albhamu amaningana azimele. Ngaziwa nangokucula kwami okuphelele kwengoma kaChambawamba ethi “Tubthumping” ku-karaoke kanye ne-gab.
Ukuze sihlanganise lo mhlahlandlela, siqoqe imithombo evela kubathengisi abakhulu njenge-Amazon ne-Best Buy, i-Guitar Center nezinye izitolo zomculo ezikhethekile, kanye nezinkampani ezigxile kwi-karaoke njenge-VocoPro kanye nomthengisi odumile we-Ace Karaoke eSan Gabriel, eCalifornia, eduze nje komgwaqo ukusuka edolobheni laseLos Angeles. Uhlu luhlanganisa imishini ye-karaoke engaphezu kwe-100. Sizame izinsizakalo eziningi zokubhalisela i-karaoke ezikuvumela ukuthi ulayishe amafayela akho evidiyo anamagama noma ufinyelele amathrekhi angamakhulu ezinkulungwane anezingoma ngesiNgisi, iSpanishi, ngisho neTagalog. Sifunde ukubuyekezwa kwamakhasimende angaphezu kwe-1,000, sahlola abalandeli be-karaoke ku-Facebook, futhi sabonisana neqembu labasebenzi be-Wirecutter abathanda i-karaoke. Siphinde saxoxa ne-2020 Karaoke World Champion uGarvaundo Hamilton.
Lo mhlahlandlela ungowanoma ubani ofuna ukucula ekhaya noma emibuthanweni emincane. Mhlawumbe ukhathele ukucula eshaweni (noma ngabe umsindo umnandi). Mhlawumbe wena nabangani bakho nijabulela ngempela isici sokusebenzisana se-The Rocky Horror Picture Show futhi ningathanda ukukwazi ukufaka izwi lenu kalula ezingomeni. Noma mhlawumbe uyazi ngaphakathi ukuthi ubheke izibani, ama-jets e-Lear, ingcebo, nodumo, kodwa usadinga ukuzijwayeza okuncane. I-Karaoke iyimboni ebiza izigidigidi zamaRandi e-United States, enamabha e-karaoke angaphezu kwenkulungwane azinikele kanye nezindawo ezingenakubalwa ezibamba ubusuku be-karaoke ngezikhathi ezithile. Uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Karaoke i-Smule ithi inabasebenzisi abasebenzayo abayizigidi ezingama-50 ngenyanga - futhi lokho uhlelo lokusebenza olulodwa nje. Njengoba bonke labo bantu becula ngokuzwakalayo, kuyaqondakala ukuthi abanye babo bangase bafune ukuthatha isipiliyoni basingaxhunywanga ku-inthanethi futhi bakwenze ekamelweni nabanye.
Kodwa-ke, uma ufuna ukwenza iphathi enkulu noma ukuthola ithalente ebha yakho yasendaweni, lo mhlahlandlela awukufanele. Ngenxa yalokho, kuzodingeka uqashe i-KJ echwepheshile (i-karaoke DJ). Uma ufuna ukuba yi-KJ ngokwakho futhi ufuna iseluleko ngemishini yobungcweti, lena akuyona indawo efanele wena. Lo mhlahlandlela ngeke futhi ukusize ekutholeni uhlelo oluphelele lwekheli lomphakathi (PA)—sicabangele ukuluncoma, kodwa sanquma ukuthi kuzoba nzima kakhulu kubantu abaningi abafuna nje ukusingatha ubusuku obumbalwa be-karaoke.
Inkinga enkulu esibhekane nayo ngesikhathi sibhala lo mhlahlandlela nayo yayilula kakhulu: Uyini umshini we-karaoke? Ingabe imakrofoni ngokwayo? Ingabe ikhono lokuxuba umthombo wengoma nengoma ehlukile? Ingabe yisikrini esincane esibonisa amagama? Ingabe kukhona iziqhumane zekhompyutha ezishisayo ngemuva? Ingabe umshini we-karaoke kufanele uze namafolda amakhulu ama-CD+G anombala webhiya adluliselwa ebhawa njalo ngeviki? Yini abantu abayifunayo ekhaya?
Ngemva kwamahora amaningana ocwaningo, sase sibuyele lapho saqala khona: kwakungekho mpendulo ecacile embuzweni wokuthi uyini ngempela “umshini we-karaoke”.
Kodwa sifunde ukuthi umshini we-karaoke awusiwo ngempela (futhi akuvamile ukuba) isikrini esiphathwayo sokufunda amagama. Eqinisweni, abathandi be-karaoke esibahlolile bathi bajabule kakhulu ukuthola izingoma abafuna ukuzicula ku-YouTube, esevele inamavidiyo amaningi wamahhala asusa amazwi futhi abonise amagama kuphela. (Kukhona nezinsizakalo zokubhalisela i-karaoke ezinikeza izici ezithuthukisiwe kakhulu.) Sithole ukuthi imishini eminingi ye-karaoke yabathengi ayinazo ngisho nezikrini. Esikhundleni salokho, isebenza njengemibhobho—uhlelo lwesipikha oluklanyelwe ukusetshenziswa nethebhulethi noma i-smart TV. Ngamanye amazwi, kuzodingeka unikeze uxhumano lwakho lwe-Wi-Fi kanye nesikrini, kodwa umshini we-karaoke omuhle kufanele unakekele okunye.
UGarvaundo Hamilton, iChampion World Karaoke ka-2020, usinika elinye iphuzu lokubhekisela ukuze asisize sihlele indlela yethu yokwenza izinto. “Kukhona ukulindela okuncane ku-karaoke,” esitshela. “Nikwenza ngenxa yokuzijabulisa, nabangani, endaweni ehlukile. Ngeke ngehlise amazinga ami okucula ngoba nje kuyi-karaoke. Kodwa kunomehluko omncane ngoba ngilindele ukuthi nijabule.”
Lesi yisimiso esiyinhloko esiqondisayo esasithatha: umshini we-karaoke akudingeki ukuthi ube nesikrini, kodwa kufanele ubaluleke kakhulu ekuzijabuliseni.
Nansi eminye imininingwane esiyifundile ngokukhuluma nabathandi be-karaoke eyasisiza ekufuneni kwethu umshini we-karaoke ongcono kakhulu:
Eminye yemishini ye-karaoke esiyibukile ocwaningweni lwethu lokuqala nayo inikeze izinsiza ezithakazelisayo, njengezibonisi zokukhanya noma ikhono lokuqopha umsindo wokusebenza. Iqembu lethu lokugxila alizange licabange ukuthi lezi zinto ziyadingeka ngempela, kodwa abanye bathi bangase bathande izici ezengeziwe uma zikhona. Sibabuze nokuthi bacabangani ngokusebenzisa ikhonsoli yokuxuba ejwayelekile ukudala uhlelo lwe-karaoke olwenziwe ngokwezifiso, kodwa bonke bavuma ukuthi lunzima kakhulu. Wonke umuntu esikhulume naye wagcizelela ukuthi uma izinto ezimbalwa okufanele uzixhumanise, kuba ngcono.
Imishini eminingi yesimanje ye-karaoke yabathengi ayinazo izikrini. Kunalokho, isebenza njengeziteshi—uhlelo lwesipikha oluklanyelwe ukusebenza nethebhulethi noma i-smart TV.
Sinalezi zindlela engqondweni, kanye nokulindela injabulo, sifune imishini ye-karaoke ukuze sizihlolele yona. Sithanda amamodeli anezinketho ezahlukene zokufaka/zokukhipha umsindo, okwenza afaneleke kakhulu ezinhlelweni ezahlukene zomsindo wasekhaya. Sicabanga ukuthi i-Bluetooth kanye ne-input port eyisizayo kuzolunga kubantu abaningi, kodwa besifuna ukumboza izisekelo eziningi ngangokunokwenzeka.
Sinciphise uhlu lokuqala lwaba ngamamodeli angu-25 futhi sagcina sivivinye angu-7. Imishini emine ye-karaoke inezipikha ezakhelwe ngaphakathi kanye nesibonisi sokukhanya esakhelwe ngaphakathi: i-Tonor K20 Wireless Karaoke Machine, i-Moukey MTs10-2 Karaoke Machine, i-Ion Audio Party Rocker Max, kanye ne-Singsation Star Burst SPKA25. Siphinde sahlola imishini emibili ye-karaoke engenazipikha ezenzelwe ukuxhuma ohlelweni lomsindo lwasekhaya olukhona (uma usuvele unayo i-soundbar, isibonelo): i-VocoPro SmartTVOke kanye ne-Rybozen K201 Portable Karaoke Microphone Mixer. Ekugcineni, sivivinye enye imodeli: i-VocoPro WiFi-Oke Wireless Karaoke Machine enokuxhumeka kwe-Wi-Fi kanye nesikrini esakhelwe ngaphakathi, esiphelele kulabo abangenayo ithebhulethi noma i-smart TV, noma kulabo abafuna ngempela umshini ozimele ngokuphelele.
I-Polk MagniFi Mini AX iyi-soundbar engcono kakhulu ngoba inomsindo futhi iyazinza, inomkhawulo omncane, ishibhile, futhi kulula ukuyisebenzisa.
Okokuqala, nokho, kwadingeka simise umshini ngamunye. Sibhale amanothi anemininingwane yokuthi inqubo yokusetha yayilula kangakanani (noma cha). Ingabe wonke ama-jack nama-knob omsindo abhalwe ngokucacile futhi kulula ukuwasebenzisa? Ungakwazi yini ukuthola ukuthi ungafinyelela kanjani kuzo zonke izici ngaphandle kokubhekisela encwadini yemiyalelo isikhathi ngasinye? (Uma udinga ukubhekisela encwadini yemiyalelo, ingabe iyasebenza ngempela?) Sigxile ngqo ekuxhumekeni kwe-Bluetooth kanye ne-assistant port, sicabanga ukuthi lezi yizinto abantu abaningi abazozisebenzisa isikhathi esiningi. Ngenkathi wonke umshini we-karaoke esiwuhlolile uza nekhebula lawo elisizayo, kwakungekho ukuvumelana kwezinye izintambo noma izesekeli ezifakiwe ebhokisini ngalinye—njenge-tablet stand noma i-splash guard yokuvimbela amathe angangeni ekhava yemakrofoni. Emishinini ye-karaoke enezibonisi zokukhanya, siphinde sahlola ukuthi zingenziwa ngezifiso kangakanani, uma zikhona. Kumamodeli angenasipikha esiwahlolile, siwafake kumamodeli amabili e-TV ahlukene, kanye nekhompyutha ne-iPad, ukuze sibone ukuthi konke kuqhathaniswa kanjani.
Sabe sesiqala ukuhumusha izingoma zethu esizithandayo zeThin Lizzy, kanye neBiz Markie kanye neT-Swift. (Uma uhlala esitezi sesithathu sesakhiwo esibhekene nami, ngiyaxolisa ukuthi awuzange ungithande ngicula izingoma zeMisfits nge-Halloween.) Sihlole ukucaca okuphelele komsindo wemakrofoni: Ingabe kuyisiphithiphithi noma okuthile? Uyayizwa ingoma iphuma? Ingabe wonke amagama angacaca? Siphinde sahlola ukubamba amamakrofoni ngama-engeli ahlukene ukuze sithole umbono ongcono wempendulo eguquguqukayo yemakrofoni ngayinye. Uma umshini we-karaoke unezinketho ze-EQ noma ze-echo, sizozama lezo zinketho, ukuze sibone ukuthi zithinta kanjani umsindo, uma zikhona.
Siphinde sabheka ukuthi kulula kangakanani ukusebenzisa umshini phakathi kwezingoma. Ingabe umshini unenkinobho yokumisa noma yokweqa eyakhelwe ngaphakathi? Uma une-tablet holder, ingabe izinzile ngokwanele ukusenza sikwazi ukukhetha ingoma elandelayo ngaphandle kokuphazamisa ukuhamba kobusuku? Uma umshini we-karaoke unezingeniso ezengeziwe (njengemakrofoni eyengeziwe enentambo), siyawahlola lawo, ngokuvamile sisebenzisa imakrofoni ye-Shure SM58, okuyindinganiso engekho emthethweni embonini yomculo obukhoma. Siphinde saqhathanisa umsindo ovela kulezi zingeniso ezengeziwe nekhwalithi yemakrofoni yomshini.
Ekugcineni, sikhiphe imishini engenantambo nesebenzisa i-Bluetooth sayikhipha salinganisa ububanzi besignali yayo. Siphinde sahlola ikhwalithi yesipikha iyonke emazingeni ahlukene evolumu. Ngemva kwalokho, savula futhi sahlukanisa idivayisi ngayinye ukuze sibone kangcono izingxenye zayo ngazinye nokuthi zixhunywe kanjani.
Ifakwe amamakrofoni amabili angenantambo asezingeni eliphezulu kanye nebhola le-disco elihle kakhulu, lolu hlelo lwesipikha esiphathwayo lunakho konke okudingayo ukuze uqalise iphathi yakho ye-karaoke.
I-Tonor K20 Wireless Karaoke Machine iyona engcono kakhulu yomshini we-karaoke ngoba kulula ukuyiphatha, ukuyisetha, nokusebenzisa, futhi ikhwalithi yomsindo icacile kunezinye izinhlobo esizihlolile. Empeleni iyisipikha sama-watt angu-250 esinamasondo esinesibambo se-telescopic esiza nezinsiza eziningi ezicatshangelwe kahle (kufaka phakathi amamakrofoni amabili angenantambo) ukuze kube lula ukuthutha phakathi kwabahlanganyeli. I-Tonor ixhuma kalula kuthebhulethi yakho noma ku-smart TV nge-Bluetooth noma ikhebula elisizayo. Unenketho yokudlala umculo kusuka kudrayivu ye-USB noma ikhadi le-microSD (uma unezingoma ezilandiwe kusuka kusevisi yokubhalisa, isibonelo), okufanele zimboze zonke izidingo zakho. Iphakheji ifaka ngisho ne-tablet stand, ekuvumela ukuthi usebenzise idivayisi njengesikrini samagama futhi ucule kanye nezinsizakalo zakho ozithandayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunebhola le-disco elipholile kakhulu phezulu, elinezela kulwazi lombukiso jikelele. Kodwa ungakhathazeki - kulula ukuvala uma une-photophobia.
I-Tonor iza nama-microphone amabili angenantambo, isebenza ngamabhethri e-AA (awafakiwe), futhi iza nekhebula elisizayo, ikhebula elisizayo le-RCA, kanye ne-adaptha ye-DC yokushaja. Iphakheji ifaka nezinye izesekeli ezingezona ezomsindo, njengesilawuli kude; isibambi sethebhulethi esinamathela esibambweni se-telescopic; kanye nezembozo ze-foam ezingagezwa (ezibizwa ngokuthi izihlungi ze-pop) ezivikela imakrofoni ekushiseni nasekushayweni; kukhona isikhwama sokuphatha esithambile esizobamba konke, ngakho akudingeki ukhathazeke ngokugcina konke phakathi kwama-gig. Yile mininingwane ecatshangelwe kahle eyenza lo mshini we-karaoke uvelele ngempela.
Imakrofoni yeTonor izwakala kahle kakhulu kunayo yonke imishini ye-karaoke esiyihlolile, iletha umsindo ocacile kungakhathaliseki ukuthi besihlabelela ngqo phezulu noma sikhala sisuka eceleni. Ekuhlolweni kwethu, ububanzi bemakrofoni babucishe bube ngamafidi ayi-100 ngaphambi kokuba uxhumano olungenantambo luqale ukwehla. Yonke eminye imakrofoni esiyizamile yayinobubanzi obufanayo (ngaphandle kweVocoPro, enesigamu sebanga), kodwa ayikho ezwakala kahle njengeTonor. (Okungenani, amazwi ethu azwakala engaqondakali futhi ephambene, kanti ama-diaphragm amancane, ahlangothi olulodwa athinta yonke into kungakhathaliseki ukuthi siwacule kangakanani.)
Izipikha ezakhelwe ngaphakathi zeTonor zizwakala kahle, zine-tweeter ezimbili ezingama-intshi angu-3 (zemvamisa ephezulu) kanye ne-woofer engama-intshi angu-8 (yemisindo ephansi) ekhabetheni lezinkuni elizwakalayo. Uma kuqhathaniswa ne-Moukey MTs10-2, ene-woofer enkulu, kanye ne-Ion Audio Party Rocker Max, ene-tweeter eyodwa kuphela, i-Tonor izwakala ingagcwele kakhulu uma inomsindo ophansi. Kodwa lapho sikhulisa ivolumu ngokwanele ukuhlukanisa izipikha, umsindo wawucebile kakhulu kunezinye izinhlobo esizihlolile. Noma kunjalo, cishe ngeke ufune ukuwuphakamisa kakhulu—ama-watts angu-250 angaphatha ivolumu eningi. Uma ufuna ngempela ukulungisa umsindo we-Tonor ngamavolumu aphansi, ine-bass kanye ne-treble equalizer (EQ) knobs ukukusiza ukuthi ushayele ithoni oyifunayo, yize cishe ngeke kudingeke ukuthi ushintshe kakhulu.
I-Tonor inombukiso wokukhanya owakhelwe ngaphakathi ojabulisayo, one-LED ekhanyayo ngaphambili kwesipikha kanye nebhola le-disco phezulu. Ibhola le-disco alikhanyi njengalelo eliku-Ion Party Rocker, kodwa futhi cishe alimazi amehlo akho ngenkathi likhanya ngokwanele ukuguqula igumbi lokuphumula elikhanyayo libe yindawo efana neyeklabhu. Awukwazi ukulawula ama-LED ezipikheni noma ebholeni le-disco, yize eqala ukuhamba ngezikhathi ezithile njengoba umculo ufinyelela phezulu. Akuyona ngempela umbukiso wokukhanya ovumelanisiwe, kodwa futhi, i-karaoke ayiyona ngempela i-gig ekhiqizayo. Uma ungafuni ukusebenzisa ibhola le-disco (ake sithi, uma uzwela i-flash noma ungayithandi), kulula ukuyicima ngokucindezela inkinobho ebhalwe ngokucacile ngaphambili. Ngaphandle kokukhanya, ibhethri le-Tonor kufanele lihlale amahora afinyelela kwangu-12. Nakuba singazitholanga izilinganiso eziqondile, sithole ukuthi singajabulela izikhathi eziningana ezinhle ze-karaoke ngaphandle kokudinga ukushaja kabusha.
Konke okunye okudingayo ukuze usebenzise i-Tonor nakho kusephaneli engaphambili, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, konke kubhalwe ngokucacile futhi kulula ukukuthola. Lokhu kungase kubonakale njengento evamile, kodwa ngeshwa akuvamile kakhulu phakathi kweminye imishini ye-karaoke, mhlawumbe akuvamile kakhulu kunalokho ongase ucabange. Isibonelo, i-Tonor iyona kuphela imodeli esiyihlolile eneswishi yamandla kuphaneli engaphambili, lapho zonke izinketho zokufaka umsindo nazo zitholakala khona. (Uma ukhathazekile noma ungaqiniseki ngokusetha imishini yomsindo, incwadi yomsebenzisi (i-PDF) ilula, icacile, futhi inemininingwane.) Ingaphambili leyunithi linokulawula ivolumu okuyinhloko, ama-knob amancane amaningana azimele evolumu yemakrofoni, kanye ne-knob yezinga le-echo edala umphumela endaweni ethile phakathi kwe-reverb kanye ne-delay (okuncane kungasiza izwi lakho lizwakale kakhulu futhi libushelelezi, kodwa lingaba likhulu kakhulu ngokushesha).
Ama-knob amabili e-EQ e-Tonor akuvumela ukuthi ulungise amazinga e-bass kanye ne-treble okufakwayo komsindo. Asicabangi ukuthi abantu abaningi kuzodingeka bakhathazeke ngalokhu—njengoba sishilo, izikhulumi zizwakala kahle zodwa—kodwa uma ufuna ukukhulisa i-bass kancane noma ukwengeza ukugqama okuphezulu, lokhu kuyindlela enhle. I-Tonor iphinde ibe nokufakwayo okwengeziwe okungu-¼-intshi uma ufuna ukwengeza imakrofoni eyengeziwe enentambo. Ungaxhuma ngisho negitala kule jack—ine-preamp ekhulisa isignali yokufaka ibe ileveli yomugqa, ngakho umsindo uphuma ngevolumu efanayo nemakrofoni engenantambo. Uma kuqhathaniswa, ukufakwa kwe-¼-intshi kwe-Moukey MTs10-2 kusethwe ezingeni lemakrofoni, okwenza kube lula kakhulu kunemakrofoni engenantambo efakwe kule modeli ethile.
I-Tonor inesikrini se-LCD esibonisa izinga lokufaka umsindo kanye nebhethri lamanje. Uma usebenzisa i-USB stick noma ikhadi le-microSD ukudlala umsindo, lesi sikrini sizokusiza ukuthi uzulazule kumamenyu. Kunezinkinobho ezimbalwa ezincane eduze kwesikrini ezikuvumela ukuthi ulawule imithombo yokufaka, kanye nokumisa/ukudlala noma ukweqa amathrekhi uma usebenzisa i-Bluetooth noma iDrayivu. Ungamisa noma uqale umculo ngqo kuyunithi ngaphandle kokukhipha ithebhulethi yakho noma i-remote, okuyisici esicatshangelwe kahle esenza ulwazi oluphelele lokusebenzisa i-Tonor lube mnandi kakhulu. Ezinye izinkinobho zikusiza ukuthi ulawule izinketho zokuqopha ezakhelwe ngaphakathi ze-Tonor, ezidinga ukuthi i-USB stick ixhunywe ukuze irekhode idatha njenge-MP3s. Ngeke sixoxe ngalokhu ngokuningiliziwe - akuyona neze isici esidingekayo. Kodwa esinye isici esihle esengeziwe esilula ngokumangazayo ukusisebenzisa. I-Moukey inenketho yokuqopha efanayo, kodwa besingazi nokuthi singayisebenzisa kanjani.
Inkinga enkulu yeTonor ifana nayo yonke imishini ye-karaoke ye-all-in-one esiyihlolile: Nakuba kukhona ukulawula ivolumu okukhulu kwama-microphone, ayikho indlela yokulawula imakrofoni ngayinye ngayinye. Lokhu kungaba yinkinga kuphela uma uhlela ukucula i-duet nomuntu onezinga lezwi elihlukile kakhulu kwelakho, kodwa hhayi uma uhlela ukucula inguqulo kaDavid Bowie noMick Jagger nomlingani othule kakhulu. “Street Dancing,” okungacasula.
Njengoba sishilo ngenhla, umsindo we-Tonor ngevolumu ephansi awunamandla njengeminye imishini ye-karaoke yonke esiyihlolile. Kodwa usazwakala kahle (inkinobho ye-EQ iyasiza) futhi empeleni uzwakala kahle ngevolumu ephezulu. Lokhu kungenzeka ngoba i-subwoofer ye-Tonor engu-8-inch incane kune-subwoofer ye-Moukey engu-10-inch (i-Ion Party Rocker nayo ine-subwoofer engu-8-inch, kodwa i-tweeter kuphela). Ibanga phakathi kwezikhulumi lincike ekujuleni kwekhoni yesipikha, ngakho-ke kunezici eziningi ezidlalayo. Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi sikhetha kakhulu ngalokhu, okuyinto iningi labathandi be-karaoke abavamile abangayiboni. Kodwa, lowo ngumsebenzi wethu.
Asiyithandi i-DC power port engaphambili kwe-Tonor, okwenza ibonakale kakhulu uma ixhunywe ukuze ishajwe. Kodwa zonke izilawuli ze-elekthronikhi zisephanelini elingaphambili lodwa, okuyinto enhle ngezinye izindlela, ngakho sizophila nayo.
Imakrofoni kaMoukey ayizwakali kahle njengoba besingathanda, kodwa isipikha ngokwaso sizwakala kahle futhi sinendawo yokuma yemakrofoni eyakhelwe ngaphakathi kolunye uhlangothi. Nokho, asiqiniseki ukuthi ubuso besikhova bufanelekile.
Uma i-Tonor ingatholakali, noma ufuna okuthile okunomsindo ocebile nothule, noma uthanda izikhova ezithukuthele, i-Moukey MTs10-2 Karaoke Machine iyisinqumo esihle. Njenge-Tonor, iza nama-microphone amabili angenantambo futhi inezinketho ezifanayo zokufaka umsindo, kanye nokufakwa okungu-¼-intshi kwama-microphone engeziwe anezintambo (okusho ukuthi ungasebenzisa ama-microphone afinyelela kwamane ngesikhathi esisodwa, kanti i-Tonor ingasebenzisa amathathu kuphela). Iphinde ibe nomsakazo we-FM owakhelwe ngaphakathi uma ufuna ukucula kanye nesiteshi sakho somsakazo osithandayo. Ngenkathi iyunithi ngokwayo izwakala kangcono kune-Tonor, imakrofoni engenantambo efakiwe izwakala futhi ishibhile. I-Moukey nayo ayinayo ibhola le-disco—besingeke sikhathazeke uma isibonisi sayo se-LED singenzanga isipikha sibukeke njengesibukeli esithukuthele esikubuka ngemuva kokububula.
Iphaneli yokulawula ye-Moukey iphezu kwesipikha esivelelayo, kunokuba ibe ngaphambili. Njengokukhetha kwethu okuphezulu, inesibambo se-telescopic kanye nesiphathi sethebhulethi esisuswayo, okukunikeza indawo elula yokufunda izikhumbuzi zombhalo. Ama-control knobs amakhulu (i-echo, i-mic volume, i-master volume, kanye ne-bass/treble EQ) makhulu futhi kulula ukuwathola kune-knobs efanayo ku-Tonor. Sithola nokuthi indawo yawo inengqondo kakhulu. Njenge-Tonor, i-Moukey inezinkinobho zokumisa/zokudlala kanye nezinkinobho zokudlulisela/zokubuyela emuva eduze kwalezi zingcingo, okwenza kube lula ukweqa noma ukumisa izingoma emshinini ngokwawo.
Lo mshini unezici ezimbalwa ezengeziwe iTonor engenazo: isethingi "yokuqalwa kwemakrofoni" (emisa umculo ngokuzenzakalelayo lapho imakrofoni ithatha umsindo) kanye nokususwa kwezwi "okuzenzakalelayo" (okuthiwa kukusiza ukuthi udale inguqulo ye-karaoke yanoma iyiphi ingoma). Ngeshwa, zombili lezi zici ziyacasula futhi azisizi ngalutho. Isethingi yokwakwalwa kwemakrofoni iyona ekhungathekisa kakhulu - iwusizo kakhulu kuphela uma uhlela ukusebenzisa iMoukey ukuze udlale ephathini, njengoba ungakwazi ukucindezela inkinobho "yokumisa" wena. I-Vocal Remover ngokuyisisekelo isusa wonke amaza e-middlerange (PDF) lapho amaculo evame ukuhlala khona; futhi isusa iningi lemisindo ebalulekile yegitare nekhibhodi, okwenza ingoma izwakale njengokulingisa okungenalutho kwayo. IMoukey kuthiwa inamakhono okuqopha akhelwe ngaphakathi, kodwa asikwazanga ukuthola ukuthi singawasebenzisa kanjani, futhi incwadi yomsebenzisi ayizange ibe usizo.
Ama-mic angenantambo e-Moukey alula kakhulu kunezinye, futhi ngayinye inendandatho enemibala ehlukile phansi ukuze ukwazi ukuwahlukanisa uma udinga. (Nokho, ukuze sibe nobulungisa, asikho isidingo sokuhlukanisa lokhu kokubili njengoba i-Moukey ingenalo isilawuli sevolumu ye-mic ehlukile.) Futhi azizwa sengathi enziwe ngepulasitiki eshibhile futhi azizwa ekhululekile, ethambekele ekuphukeni uma ewa. Ngenhlanhla, i-Moukey inezitendi ezimbili ze-mic ezikwazi ukuhoxiswa ezinhlangothini, okwenza kube lula ukugcina i-mic phakathi kwezingoma. Ngokuphathelene nomsindo, i-mic engenantambo ye-Moukey inhle kakhulu. Ayenamandla amaningi futhi ayengasabeli kahle, ngakho kwadingeka sicule ngqo enkabeni ephezulu ye-mic, futhi amazwi ethu ayesazwakala ephambene futhi enodaka. Umphumela we-echo ungasiza ukuthambisa imiphetho kancane, kodwa okuningi kakhulu kungenza umsindo ube nodaka. Ngenkathi ububanzi obungenantambo obuthenjiswe yi-Mookie bungamafidi angu-65 kuphela, ekuhlolweni kwethu sikwazile ukufika cishe kumamitha ayi-100 ngaphambi kokuba imakrofoni iqale ukulahlekelwa isignali.
I-Moukey inekhono lokuxhuma amamakrofoni amabili engeziwe anomucu ongu-¼-intshi. Kodwa-ke, ngokungafani nokufakwayo kwe-Tonor okungu-¼-intshi, ama-Moukey abonakala esebenza ezingeni lemakrofoni noma eduze kwalo, esicabanga ukuthi yingakho la ma-microphone anemucu ethule kakhulu kunalawo angenantambo. Le nkampani yavuma inkinga ngokuphendula umbuzo womhlaziyi we-Amazon, kodwa kuseyisinqumo sokuklama esingajwayelekile. Kodwa-ke, uma uxhuma umthombo wezinga lezinsimbi (njengegitala) kulawa ma-input angu-¼-intshi, uzobe ulungile.
