Røde Microphones has expanded its RødeLink Family with the Performer Kit Karaoke Edition for use in pubs, party venues and at home.
Featuring a high-quality handheld condenser microphone (TX-M2) and a karaoke hotrodded desktop receiver (RX-Desk-K) fitted with the Synthpersonator Voice Alteration Performance Algorithm (VAPA-ware), the RødeLink Performer Kit Karaoke Edition operates on the universally secure Series II 2.4GHz encrypted digital transmission, which is shared with many other wireless transmission networks such as WiFi. The device was built to automatically select and connect to the strongest signal, ensuring a secure and reliable connection every time.
The Synthpersonator VAPA-ware in the unit’s software allows real-time digital transformation voice, with options to adjust timbre, pitch correction, reverb, language adaptation and blue-note trills, and Haptic vibration indicates when to breathe. It comes pre-programmed with the voice signatures of dozens of iconic singers from the 1960s to the present day.
The RødeLink Performer Kit Karaoke Edition is compatible with the RødeLink Range, providing freedom to mix-and-match wireless microphones and gear. This RødeLink system has been tested and approved for use with up to eight kits operating in a common area.
‘We focus on products for professional and artistic applications, such as filmmaking, live performance and studio recording,’ says Røde/Freedman Group CEO, Damien Wilson. ‘Thanks to the Synthpersonator VAPA-ware, the Performer Kit Karaoke Edition takes us into the world of intuitive voice processing and guidance to create the most authentic celebrity vocal reproduction in history. It even makes me sound like Madonna – which has always been a lifelong dream.’
The Performer Kit Karaoke Edition comes with TX-M2, RX-Desk-K, Synthpersonator VAPA-ware onboard, LB-1 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery, microphone clip, microphone case and Micro USB Cable.
