Singing Machine

Make us proud of our product

Singing Machine brought karaoke to North America some 30 years ago. To this date, they are a household name in Karaoke. When Gary and Bernardo turned to Pearl, they were facing new types of competition: gaming consoles and mobile apps / accessories. On traditional Karaoke devices made by Singing Machine, getting to the media was painfully difficult: CDs and MP3s via storage drives were the industry norm. Making matters worse, karaoke had earned the moniker of a geeky, toyish product, and was often purchased for an event, then returned to store. It was time to seriously rethink.

Beautiful Sound by Day, Singing Machine by Night

Part of Everyday

Karaoke machines are typically dragged out of the closet, played with, then returned to the closet. Why? Well, we use them for parties and games, and let's be honest: they are not something we want to show off. We wanted Singing Machine Home to be more integral to life, so we engineered great sound and made a beautiful wireless speaker so you'd use it every day, and be proud to display it.

On Demand

When we want to sing, we don't want to fuss with set up. Singing Machine Home is already connected to the TV by HDMI, and to internet by Wi-fi. We stream and play a library of karaoke music to Home, and you browse and play via the TV. To make things even easier, your friends can access Singing Machine Play online and make a Play Queue ahead of the party, which live updates on your Singing Machine Home. Instant Party.

No Boomerangs

People sometimes purchase home karaoke for a party, then return it the next day. The "free rental" isn't great for business. So, we thought: let's give people a desire to keep the device. It fits gorgeously into any room, you want to use it daily, and makes party starting a breeze. After the party, it quickly reverts back to it's every day form: beautiful, wireless speaker.
