Just wanted to start a thread about a karaoke system we are doing this week.

The original job is finished. 7 tv's, dedicated theater and patio sound for a pool house.

System backbone is Total control by URC. Total control for distributed audio. (ipad control mostly.) The downstairs game wall has 4 tv's on it. 2 55" tv's in the middle of wall and 2 32" on the corners. Customer wants to integrate Karaoke. Video distro is Zektor.

So, somebody needs to invent a rack mount karaoke system that is network controlled with a ipad app and lets you download songs from app. Couldn't find anything like that. Don't have any room for a pc and client wants to control it all with ipad of course. Client does not want to load cd's.

Here is what we have designed. a stand alone system. 2 in ceiling speakers, total control amplifier, peavey rack mount mixer, (2) shure wireless microphones, and http://soulo.com/ ipad karaoke app. We were able to successfully take a 30 pin to component and analog audio adaptor and get video and audio from Soulo app into matrix swithcher. We are not using the ghetto microphone for the Soulo app. It works great and gonna be a clean install. I will post pictures of the job when we finish. Just thought I would post this so that people can see how we plan to integrate into the automation system.

The customer has to buy songs for .99 each but can sync to itunes and use library to play songs as well. Not all songs on itunes can filter out the vocals.

To be continued.....
