Singtrix SGTX2 Portable Karaoke Machine
Overview
Support FAQ #13www.singtrix.com
Can I use the Singtrix® karaoke machine with instruments or in live performance applications? Yes…
Singtrix requires a music signal input to establish key for tuning and harmony
effects.
Singtrix can be used (in LIVE MODE) with live instruments that have a line
output/headphone output, and volume control. Original recorded song
compositions, live instruments including guitar and keyboards as well as a
live music feed from a stage PA system can be used in place of standard
karaoke tracks. Singtrix defaults to Cmaj when first powered.
Considerations:
- The Studio Music Input requires a 3.5mm stereo connector coming from your instrument, preamp or alternate music device’s line or headphone output. Depending on the cables used for the output of your instrument or device, a different cable or audio adapter may be required. For example, to plug a guitar using ¼” phono guitar cable directly into the music input, you will need an adapter that goes from a 1/4″ mono phono plug to a 3.5mm male stereo plug. There are a variety of standard audio adapters and cable plug combinations on the market that can work for your specific requirements (e.g. RCA to 3.5mm stereo, left/right ¼” mono phono cable to 3.5mm stereo).
- You will need a volume control on your instrument or alternate music device to establish the correct mix between the background music and Singtrix mic. Follow the same standard procedure as when using standard karaoke tracks from a tablet, phone or PC.
- LIVE MODE – Press the SONG VOICE and MY VOICE buttons at the same time for 5 seconds while the unit is on. It will remove the latency/audio delay. This is critical when playing an instrument as the accompaniment.

Setup: Setting Music & Mic Mix
THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP! (applies to instruments)
Setting the volume mix between the microphone and music track is the MOST important step. This will ensure that Singtrix performs properly & optimally.
Singtrix is a pure audio experience. Improper mix levels will cause distortion, low sounding vocals, weak mic dynamics, and overall poor quality sound & performance.
The goal is to have relatively equal volumes between your microphone voice and music track. ONLY use the volume adjustment on your Music Device (PC, smart phone, tablet, instrument etc.) to set the relative music volume mix to your mic volume. DO NOT use the studio unit’s mic volume for this.
NEVER attempt to raise your Music Device’s volume to achieve a louder overall performance. This will cause your vocals to be lower relative to the music & distort. To adjust overall performance volume, always use the volume controls on the speaker amplifier. Refer to the Quick-Start guide for the proper procedure.
