Memorex MKS5620 karaoke machine

Date Published: 2/26/08

Bring out your inner pop star with the Memorex MKS5620. This is a karaoke music system--a boom box and karaoke machine in one portable unit.

The MKS5620 can play karaoke CD+G, as well as standard audio CD, in its top-loading CD player. For displaying graphics and song lyrics from CD+G, the MKS5620 has a built-in 5-1/2-inch monitor, although the monitor is only black and white. The system comes with one dynamic microphone, but there are two microphone inputs. Simply purchase another microphone and you'll be singing your favorite duets in no time (provided you have a singing partner, that is). Independent volume controls for each microphone input perfectly balance the levels between singers, and reverb and other effects can even be added to create a more professional sound.

The MKS5620 also has a cassette player, so performances can be recorded. Although this is a mono system with 7 watts of power, the speaker is a two-way design for better sonic performance. There's a stereo line input and a video output, so CD+G graphics and lyrics can be viewed on a larger external monitor. Get ready for the stage with the Memorex MKS5620.
