Sound Town16 Channels Wireless Microphone Karaoke Mixer System with Optical (Toslink), AUX and 2 Handheld Microphones - Supports Smart TV, Home Theater, Sound Bar (SWM16-PRO)

Easy hook up using the included optical cords. Nice sound easy Bluetooth hook up.

I initially bought the SWM 15 with HDMI connections but had trouble getting my Sony Bravia to the mixer and to my Samsung sound bar to work. I tried multiple ways of connecting them with the supplied cables. I even tried using the AUX cable from my tv to mixer and optical cable to my sound bar like I read in another review but it didn't work. I ended up returning the mixer and bought the SWM 16-pro with Optical connections. I connected the optical cable to my tv's audio optical out to the mixer optical in than the other optical cable that was supplied to my sound bar and VOILA. Easy peasy! That's how easy I thought it would be with the 1st unit but I'm not sure if my tv is older but using the HDMI ARC didn't work for me. I hope this helps you out because I tried to read a lot of reviews and watch videos but it was trial and error for me.

This little thing is great. I have an older HTPC that I have been using for years, used to use it for a lot of things but now just karaoke. Unfortunately, the power supply died and I don’t want to keep upgrading that for karaoke, so enter this little gadget. I was super excited that it has HDMI in and out making it super easy to connect. I tried to hook it up to my AppleTV box, but it wouldn’t work at all with AppleTV 😔. So, I figured i would try with my XBox instead. Works really well, only the HDMI audio would click out every 20 seconds or so - really annoying. I instead ran the optical cable (included in the box) to my receiver, using HDMI video out + optical audio and and it works great!I did need to buy an HDMI splitter to go with this (splitter, not a switch, as I don’t want to have to push another button every time I use it). You could leave this unit turned on at all times, but I don’t like the bright red power light while using other sources and I don’t believe this unit supports HDR video (not sure about 4K either) so I set it up so this only turns on when I want it for karaoke. Hope this helps people with ideas on how to set this up at your house!

What a disappointment. I was excited about this product and the fact that I could get it the following day through Amazon so I didn't read the hit or miss reviews.It arrived on time and was easy to connect the optical cables that come with it to the TV and my AV Receiver, but neither one of the microphones will pair to the Karaoke receiver.Following the troubleshooting directions in the manual I powered down the mic and the receiver. Then held the mic power button down til I got the flashing "1d". At that point I quickly released the power button and quickly press it one time which put it into pairing mode, which was confirmed by the flashing signal icon in the top right corner of the mic's LED display. Then I turned on the karaoke receiver and waited for it to pair and nothing. After about 10 seconds the mic moved out of pairing mode as the icon stopped blinking.It tried this several times and nothing. Tried it in an area that had no other electronic devices and nothing. Even when out and bought the best world champion AA alkaline batteries available just to check that box and nothing. Tried to contact the manufacturer, but their support line has better than bankers hours Mon-Fri from 10am to 5:30pm so I sent a detailed email help request.We'll see what happens, but regardless, any simple fix if one even exists should have been in the manual.

Easy to install between your soundbar and TV. I used the optical cables. The only issue I have is the balance between the mic and the sound input could be better as I cant quite get enough mic output no matter how much I try.Theres also some effects which is great but they effect both mics. It would be better if it could be set to each mic as Id prefer the reverb to be on the backup singer microphone only, or the tone adjustment to be different between mics as one mic might be a male and one might be a female.But for the price this is note bad.

Easy to set up, no need to waste time. The sound is worth the price.

The microphones are very poor quality. It only picks up your voice from the top of the mic so you have to have the microphone perpendicular to your face and practically touching your lips for it to work half-decently. There is no way to play your voice from the soundbar if you are using Apple TV with the music app so I had to use an aux cable with an old Bose speaker. I would have been better off buying a dedicated wireless speaker PA system. Sadly, I tried this out after the return window closed otherwise I’d have to take it back.

Works well, need sometimes to figure out how to connect properly
