For gatherings with friends and family and also for birthdays and special celebrations, we need a party speaker to accompany us in those long-awaited karaokes.
Party speakers are the ideal option for this use and that is why, in this note, we are going to give you tips so that you can choose your ideal party speaker.
There is a wide variety of party speakers on the market, with different functions and technologies, so we will mention the main characteristics to take into account to choose the party speaker model that best suits your requirements and needs.
Audio and power
One of the most important factors is the sound range.
If you want to sing karaoke in closed spaces such as a living room or dining room, a party speaker with between 25 and 70 W RMS power will be enough for loud and clear sound.
If you are going to use your party speaker in more open spaces or outdoors, the power should be above 80 W RMS.
Microphone and instrument input
One of the most anticipated moments in a meeting is karaoke.
Check the description of the party speaker to see if it has one or more microphone inputs. That the party speaker includes a microphone is a great solution. And if the microphone is wireless, even better.
There are party speakers that include equalizers for microphones, to generate effects on the voice and make duets even more entertaining. They emulate a more professional voice reproduction quality.
As there is usually a musician missing at meetings, it is important that the party speaker has an additional input for a guitar, since the live accompaniment of an instrument on a karaoke track provides extra fun.
Size
Although you will find party speaker models with a compact design, the reality is that they will be the ones with the least power and the least features.
It is better to think about portability, such as including wheels, and that the party speaker has enough power to adapt to all possible uses.
Wireless connection
It is very important that the party speaker has Bluetooth to connect with smart devices.
It is ideal for those who have platforms such as Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music. If you are one of the more classic ones, check that the party speaker has a USB port.
Another point to consider is linked to TWS (True Wireless Stereo) technology. If your party speaker has TWS technology, it will mean that you can connect two party speakers together in stereo wirelessly, doubling the power you are going to use for karaoke.
Autonomy
If you want to use the party speaker outdoors, you will need its battery to last several hours. The more mAh the party speaker battery has, the more hours of karaoke you can enjoy.
Lights
To make the fun complete, the ideal complement to the sound of a good party are lights.
That your party speaker has lighting effects will be a great plus when it comes to karaoke.
At Thonet & Vander we carefully developed the Stark party speaker, after an in-depth analysis of user needs when using a party speaker in different types of meetings and environments.
That is why we designed a party speaker that adapts to all possible conditions of use, both indoors and outdoors.
In turn, the Stark party speaker has multiple inputs to connect all your devices wirelessly or conventionally, also including lighting effects so that the fun is complete.
The Stark party speaker also includes a wireless microphone and vocal effects as standard, while also incorporating inputs for an additional microphone and a guitar.
And how could it be otherwise, the Stark party speaker has TWS technology, which allows you to connect two speakers wirelessly and thus double the power of your karaoke.
