Your Home Karaoke

Most karaoke systems are great for crooning over pre-recorded music, but not so good if you prefer a live flavor. Enter the VocoPro GigMaster. An ideal fit for both karaoke enthusiasts and performing musicians, the GigMaster features a pair of dedicated 1/4-inch guitar and keyboard inputs. By connecting live instruments to the device, musicians can create live karaoke soundtracks that generate a more spontaneous feel, or they can add guitar and keyboard lines to existing recordings, negating the need for a rhythm section at backyard parties. The GigMaster is also equipped with a multiformat DVD/CD player, a digital karaoke and instrument mixer, and a 180-watt amplifier–all enclosed within a sturdy six-speaker road cabinet with casters and an extendable handle. The wheels make this portable unit an ideal choice for small-venue gigs, but also for home parties, outdoor performances, and other applications. Each vocal and instrument channel includes its own volume control, so it’s easy to develop a good mix with just a few adjustments. Musicians can further fine-tune the mix using the seven-band equalizer and the 13-step digital key controller, which changes the key of your preferred background music (regardless of the source) to match the natural range of your voice. Other vocal enhancements include digital echo, repeat, and delay.


Like all karaoke units, the GigMaster connects to a TV to display lyrics through the CD/DVD player, which is compatible with CD, DVD, CDG, VCD, MP3, CD-R, and CD-RW formats. Digital photographers can also use the device to play JPEG slideshows. And should these features seem too limiting, musicians can expand the system by connecting components to the external speaker jacks, RCA outputs, or even the ultra-clean XLR balanced audio outputs. Make no mistake, though, the GigMaster is a substantial piece of equipment by itself, with overall dimensions of 23.25 by 34 by 16.25 inches (W x H x D) and a total weight of 70 pounds. If you enjoy jamming with friends but also love to sing, wheel out the GigMaster and let the good times roll.
