Battery Karaoke Machines for Outdoor Parties
Away from a socket, the battery figure matters most, and only some makers publish one. We quote the maker's number where it exists and say "Not stated" where it doesn't.
Outdoor checklist
- Charge the night before. Battery hours are the maker's figure, usually at moderate volume.
- Spare mic batteries. AAA or AA mics run on their own batteries.
- Keep it dry. None of these makers lists a water-resistance rating on the pages we used, so keep the machine away from pools and sprinklers.
- Mind the neighbors. Sound carries outdoors.
