What do I need for Karaoke?

Hi,

I have a Bose 901 system, where I have hooked up the the pre-amp to the Line-In on my AS-700 Yamaha amp. I know this is not ideal - would rather have an amp with pre-amp capabilities.

Picture of the front and back below.

What I need is to hook up a microphone to work in conjunction with what's being played through the line-in on the back - for now my thought is buying a standalone karaoke system, hooking the line-in with that, and the mics through there as well.

Appreciate any inputs.

Thanks!

Welcome!

You would either need a Karaoke machine with the ability to run a separate amplifier or simply a mixer board.
 
I had an older Kenwood receiver with a switch and variable input dial from the microphone input. I thought it was pretty cool because you could use it as a P.A. with background music with adjustable volumes for both using front panel controls. Modern karaoke with words displayed needs a special setup of course. Simple old school setup might be two amps and two sets of speakers.

Thanks cademan! Do you know of any you could point me to?
With Karaoke, you would need a screen and song list but the music can be reproduced with just about anything.........powered mixer, mixer/preamp with external power amplifier, and of course a full on Karaoke machine. You will have to look but I have seen lots of Karaoke machines with the ability to patch into external amplifiers and speakers. Sorry that I cannot recommend any one machine as there are so many out there.
 
A large group of young Hong Kong Chinese people, a good supply of snacks, some cheap whiskey and green tea to mix the cheap whisky with, and no judgment of others talent or lack of it. And a room at a karaoke bar. Anyways, that has been my experience.
