FEATURES
Your Optimus Karaoke Mate lets you
be the “star” as you sing along with
your favorite recordings. To hear your
voice along with the music through a
speaker, simply connect the karaoke
between an external music source
(such as a CD player) and y our am plifier/receiver.
The vocal canceller reduces the volume of the recording’s voice, so you
hear your own voice as you sing with
the music. It works with stereo recordings so there are no special karaoke
tapes to buy. And, the karaoke is designed so you can take it almost everywhere!
Its features include:
Dual Microphone Jacks
— let you
use two microphones simultaneously
to sing duets or for lead and background vocals.
Separat e Microphone V olume Con-
— let you adjust the volume of
trols
your duet partner/background singer

h-Quality Echo

echo to your voice for a concert hall
effect.
