Grommet Launch Conversation

Hello everyone! I'm proud to introduce Karaoke Mike to The Grommet. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have!
-
Kyle,
Perhaps this is an obvious question, the songs are chosen on the device as karaoke songs, so the lyrics appear on the device? I am very interested in this, maybe more explanation? Thank you, Mary -
@Mary Hi Mary! That depends on the karaoke app you are using. The Karaoke Mike doesn't come with a special app designed to be used with it, so it's up to the user to browse and download a karaoke app that works for them. The Mike will take care of streaming the music and your voice and syncing them up, but the lyrics will stream across your phone through whichever karaoke app you decide to use.
-
@Mary A good app that the Maker recommends is called Yokee.
-
This looks great! How does it work? Do you need an ap to go with it? Do you download songs? I'm not very technologically savy.
-
@Karin Hi Karen! You can use the Karaoke Mike with either your own music or through a Karaoke app (which you can find through the iOS or Android stores) - no need to download your own songs. The device will stream the music through the speakers via a Bluetooth connection, and as you sing into it, integrate the song and your voice together.
-
@Karin A good app that the Maker recommends is Yokee.

I wish I can hear the sounds of it.
Would you let us hear its sounds?
I'd like to compare with the regular Karaoke machine.
Thx! -
@M&M Hello M&M! We have many videos on your YouTube profile of people who are using the Mike, so you can hear it in action! Check out our YouTube:

In the details, it states that this mike can be used for presentations. Can it be used in a support group so that hearing challenged members can hear what is being said?
-
@Jo Hello Jo! It definitely can be used for presentations. Although it is a Karaoke microphone, you can also use it as a loud speaker by simply not connecting a music source. Many people have told me that they use the Mike for announcements and speeches.
-
I would like to know if the lyrics appear on your smart phone? That would be the biggest question I have. Are is this simply a microphone that pairs with your phone for music and you better know the lyrics :-)
-
@Erinn Hi Erinn! The Karaoke Mike functions as a Bluetooth-connected microphone and speaker. To stream lyrics across your smart phone, you'll have to find a Karaoke app that provides this for you. We've also used the Mike to play music through streaming apps such as Spotify. The Mike will integrate your music and your voice together, so it seems like one song.
-
Lots of questions but no answers? I notice you say to pare with karaoke app, but which one? I looked in iOS App Store and are so many. Does it come with link to download its own app. Would like to know a little more about that.
-
@Thomas Unfortunately, the Karaoke Mike doesn't pare with a specific app so that's up to the user to browse and choose which one will work best with the kind of music desired! We've also streamed music from sites such as Spotify. Because the Mike will integrate your voice together with the music, it's a very seamless experience.
-
@Thomas A good app that the Maker recommends is Yokee.

Hi Kyle. This looks like great fun. So we would find karaoke versions of the songs on our phone (which have the music and lyrics, but not anyone else singing), then we'd take part just as you would with any other karaoke machine? Please confirm so I can buy one for the holidays. Thank you! Caren
-
@Caren Yes, you're absolutely right! While the Karaoke Mike works like a microphone with integrated speakers which will integrate your voice with the music, it's up to the user to find karaoke versions of songs.
-
@Caren @Vivi While Vivi is mostly right, you do not need to find Karaoke versions of your songs in order to sing along. The way that the Mike is built and programmed, your voice will overpower the vocal track, so as you sing along, you will hear the music but your voice will be prevalent over that of the original vocalist.
-
Is there an app for this? I don't see the "karaoke" part of this as it is described here.
-
@Eric Hi Eric! No, the Karaoke Mike doesn't come with an app. You can either stream music through the device through music apps like Spotify, or you can search for a Karaoke app to download into your phone. (The Mike is both iOS and Android compatible.)
-
@Eric Though, the Maker does recommend using the Yokee app!
-
@Eric Vivi is right! Any sound or music that your phone can play will be played straight to the Mike in the same way you would play to a speaker. The Grommet is also sponsoring our Mike Phone Holder so that you can easily connect your phone to the Mike while using the apps Vivi mentioned.
We also recommend a Karaoke app called Yokee, so that you can follow the on-screen lyrics while you sing! -
Can the phone mount be used horizontally? Can the mic be plugged into a sound system or karaoke machine? Is there a sound out plug to hear the sound on a louder system? I may also use it for podcasting at Comic-Cons, how long can you record? What is the memory space?
-
@Chris Hello Chris! Unfortunately for now the phone holder cannot be used horizontally. Only vertically. However, with the way that most Karaoke apps work, this is not really a problem, as the scrolling text makes it easy to follow along. We recommend the app Yokee, as it pairs very well with the Karaoke Mike.
The Mike functions as an all-in-1 karaoke machine on it's own, so as such you cannot connect it to another sound system or other karaoke machine. However, this doesn't mean the fun has to end! The Mike has two 3-Watt on-board speakers, so you will stand out from the crowd.
You record your performance onto your phone using the Auxiliary cable which comes with the Mike, so the record time is completely up to your phone and recording app. -
My granddaughter would love this, but does not have a phone, but an iPOD. Will it work on an IPOD?
Thanks,
Terri -
@Terri Hello Terri! Any device which has Bluetooth capabilities can be connected to the Mike. I would recommend to find out which version of iPod she has so you can determine if it has Bluetooth capability. A quick Google search tells me that the newer iPod Nano and iPod Touch models support it, while the older Classic and Shuffle models do not.
-
Does this mike have the ability to change chords?
-
@Gwen Hello Gwen! Thank you for your question, however, I am not entirely sure what you mean by changing cords? Can you elaborate? We are eager to help.
-
Is this manufactured in the US?
-
@Charlotte Hello Charlotte! The Mike is manufactured overseas.
