Karaoke Night
A karaoke night thrives on daring and singing along, but that only works when the singers can hear themselves clearly and the lyrics are easy to read for everyone on screen. We take care of the sound, the microphones, the visuals and the atmospheric lighting so your guests hit that first note without hesitation. That turns it into an evening everyone wants to join in on.
A karaoke night everyone dares to step up to
Karaoke is all about the moment someone grabs the microphone and goes for it. That only happens when the singer can hear themselves clearly and sees the lyrics right in front of them. If the voice is too quiet under the music or the lyrics do not scroll smoothly, even the most enthusiastic singer holds back and the evening stalls.
HuurAV takes care of the complete technical setup for karaoke nights in Amsterdam and the surrounding area. We build a setup where sound, visuals and lighting work together: a clear vocal mix, a readable screen and a singing spot that invites people in. You do not need any technical knowledge yourself.
Vocal mix, microphones and visuals tuned to each other
The heart of karaoke is the balance between the voice and the backing track. We set the system so the vocals clearly rise above it and carry evenly through the room, without feedback when someone stands right next to the speakers. The two or more wireless microphones give singers the freedom to stand together in front of the screen or work the stage. If you want to see what is possible, take a look at our range for sound.
The screen decides whether guests dare to sing along. We place a large screen or projection at eye level with the singing spot, with the lyrics sharp and clear on screen, so even the guests reading along follow the lines effortlessly. We connect and test your karaoke source beforehand.
Atmosphere and lighting for the singing spot
A karaoke night needs a stage feel, and you create that with light. With warm atmospheric lighting for the singing spot we put the singer literally at the centre, while the rest of the room keeps a cosy, slightly dimmed atmosphere. That makes the stage feel inviting without anyone being dazzled. You can find out more about the options under lighting.
Practical points and setup
With karaoke, microphones are constantly passed from hand to hand and singers stand close to the speakers, so we pay extra attention to preventing feedback and to spare batteries for the microphones. We also fine-tune the position of the screen relative to the singing spot, so the singer reads the lyrics without looking into a light source. We start with a short survey of the room and how the evening will unfold, set up well before the start, test the vocal mix and the lyrics, and keep an eye on the technical side during the evening. Afterwards we collect everything again.

Frequently asked questions
How many microphones can we use at once?
As standard we provide two wireless microphones, so duets and quick swaps between singers run smoothly. For group numbers or a larger crowd we add more, and we tailor the number to your evening.
Can the singers hear themselves properly?
Yes, and that is exactly what matters most for a successful karaoke night. We set the vocal mix so the voice rises above the backing track and the singer hears themselves clearly, without feedback or harsh peaks.
How do the lyrics appear on screen?
We set up a large screen or projection where the scrolling lyrics are readable for everyone. We connect your own karaoke software or source in advance, so the lyrics appear without any hiccups.
Do you also handle the song selection or a host?
We take care of all the technical side and the on-site support, but not a host or performer as a person. You choose the songs and the karaoke programme yourself, and we make sure the sound, visuals and lighting work together perfectly.
