Make Your Singing Spot Work Well
Setting up a singing zone needs smart plan that balances tech needs with guest fun.
Place your karaoke gear in a spot that’s easy to see but doesn’t block the party flow and is easy for everyone to see.
Pro lights should have lights you can change to set the right mood.

Speaker spots are key for great sound.
Set up main speakers at head level with a small turn towards your guests for the best sound spread.
