VocoPro DA-1000 Pro Professional 3 Mic Digital Echo Mixer

I used this sound mixer for karaoke for the kids at a party. It had great features including the ability to turn down the mics enough when things were getting crazy. We just had the kids sing over youtube music videos or karaoke videos coming in from a laptop and that worked perfectly! The amount of options we had at adjusting both the inputs coming in (mic and laptop) was exactly what I needed. I'm not a pro or an audiophile but I can say the sound was great, features useful, and everyone at the party were impressed with how well it was mixing both mics and the videos.If you are looking to setup a makeshift karaoke in your house:I had a laptop that could play youtube karaoke songs and a speaker bar with the stereo RCA cables going out (white and red). With the following I was able to put together a nice karaoke station:The mics - Audio 2000s AWM6074U Dual Channel UHF Wireless Microphone System with Two Handheldsa sound mixer - VocoPro DA-1000 Pro Professional 3 Mic Digital Echo Mixera 3.5 to rca wire (to connect the laptop to the sound bar)- Cable Matters 3.5mm to 2RCA Stereo Audio Cable 3 Feet in Whiterca to rca (to connect the soudn mixer with the sound bar) - iMBAPrice® 3 feet 2RCA Male to 2RCA Male High Quality Home Theater Audio Cable (3 Feet, Black)TRS to TRS (to connect the mics to the sound mixer) - Hosa Cable CSS105 TRS to TRS Interconnect Cables - 5 Foot

I have this for many years now, my overall karaoke sound system got many compliments from friends. A few friends have high end audio equipments,But sounds not as good. I thought it could be due to many factors, room acoustics, sub, speakers… but yesterday I brought the karaoke equipment to setup for another room, first without this unit.It did not sound good without it. Then I hook the vocolpro DA1000 back, what a tremendous difference!A must have if singing karaokeThinking to purchase a second one, but search for same brand, perhaps a higher end, to take advantage of new technology

Very good product for a Karaoke system. It has individual knob for each mic so you have a lot of flexibility. My family like this one a lot.============Updated on 5/30/2013Had it for about half an year and used for about 6 times, now the mixer produces a hissing sound to the speaker when voice is high. Initially I thought it was my speakers or main mixer's fault. Changed speakers and main mixer, the problem was not there. If I don't connect this karaoke mixer, directly connect music sound to the speakers and main mixer, the problem is not there. That tells me that it is this karaoke mixer producing the exposive hissing sound. Not happy given it becomes faulty in half an year. Had to change the rating. You should go to look for another product for good. Not reliable.

This is the mixer to have if you enjoy Karaoke. You get quality sound with features I've not seen on mixers at this price point. I received my unit on time and boxed very well. There are separate EQ settings for the Mics and the music. Reverb, delay and echo settings are shared with all mics but you can turn it off individually. (no separate settings for each microphone). I don't hear any distortion with the vocal affects as I have heard on older models. Each "slider" has a very nice feel with resistance to movement. If you have done any live performances, you know that in a dimly lit sound room, this is a nice feature to have.. I have done a lot of sound work in my younger days and I can say this unit is just as good as the professional units I use to use. I also bought the VocoPro VF-3300 microphones which work very well with this unit. Between both units, I have rich, crisp and clean sound with enough controls to get it perfect, not just good. I am very pleased with this purchase.. I've noticed though there isn't a whole lot of headroom with this mixer.. Anything over +11db sounds distorted. If course that only means I need to keep the inputs down to peaking at or below 0, not +3 or +6 like I use to do. It's all good though, it does a fine job with no additional hiss other than from an open mic. (to be expected)

Let me just start off by saying: For the money, it is pretty good. I was trying to decide on the rating to give it, given the price, it might be worth five stars. I was used to a yamaha mixer, which was really good, but realized that I paid alot more for the yamaha. Overall, the DA1000 does everything it claims to do, but I think the main thing people have to realize is the the vocal canceller is for karaoke multiplex discs only. If you are not spending top dollar for your system, I would say it's well worth the money.

I am very please with this item. It is easy to connect from computer to amp being all my karaoke songs are on my computer and I use my laptop and a flat screen tv and a amp. The mixer produces great mic sound for home use. I use it at my family reunion and it was a hit. I highly recommend this for light to medium use. Produces great sound and with individual mic control and seperate music and voice volumn knobs you can't beat it. The voice cancel don't work as good but overall very good unit for the price.
