Award-Winning Singing Machine Home is Available for Purchase Today
First of its kind karaoke machine named CES Innovations Awards Honoree as it makes its retail debut at Best Buy
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Singing Machine Company (OTC-BB: SMDM) today announces the release of a new product. Singing Machine Home™, the first Bluetooth speaker that turns into a karaoke machine, is available for purchase today at Best Buy stores, BestBuy.com and WalMart.com. The Home delivers room-filling sound as a Bluetooth speaker by day, Singing Machine by night, and connects to TVs via HDMI for instant access to 8,000+ HD karaoke videos. The Home hits retail shelves just as it is named a CES Innovations 2014 Honoree in the Home Audio-Video Accessories category. The Consumer Electronics Association gives the awards each year to honor outstanding design and engineering in innovative gadgets across 29 categories, solidifying the Home's status as the next big thing in home entertainment.
The elegant speaker pumps out room-filling sound and wirelessly connects to any Bluetooth-enabled device including smartphones, tablets, laptops and more. When plugged into your TV through HDMI, Home connects to Singing Machine Play via Wi-Fi and transforms into a searchable vault of your favorite karaoke videos. Singing Machine Play is powered by The Karaoke Channel from Stingray Digital and offers one of the largest, licensed libraries of HD karaoke videos in the world hosted in the cloud. This access differentiates the Home from karaoke machines of yesteryear. No CDs, USBs or individual downloads needed. Just pick up the Home's hybrid mic-remote, scroll through most popular or search for your favorite song, and let the fun begin.
Home's display-worthy design debunks the myth that karaoke machines belong in the basement or that they are something that is only dusted off for holiday parties. Instead, the Home can be used every day as a powerful Bluetooth speaker packed with 2.1 channel omnidirectional sound, two tweeters and a subwoofer. Home easily fills any room with sound and connects to any Bluetooth-enabled device to play your music.
"This is the first karaoke machine to have a truly streamlined, grown-up style and versatile technology so that it is used every day," says Singing Machine CEO Gary Atkinson. "By integrating the latest Bluetooth, streaming, Wi-Fi and cloud-based technology, Home and Singing Machine Play is poised to become an easy and familiar platform in every household's entertainment center."
Founded more than 30 years ago, the Singing Machine company has sold millions of karaoke machines, evolving as music technology changed from cassettes to digital audio files. Now, with the Home, the company is breaking preconceived notions of what karaoke machines should look like and is turning the industry on its head.
Singing Machine Home is available for $299 at BestBuy.com and Best Buy stores.
