For the karaoke lovers!

If you have been to the Philippines and sung karaoke there is a fair chance you have used a machine driven by this unit.

They are used professionally in karaoke bars, and are also often found inside the self service karaoke machines that litter PI.

Platinum dominate the Filipino karaoke market, and if you've been there, you'll know that karaoke is everywhere.

Supports HDMI, 1920 x 1080 full HD output and 2 microphones. Allows recording of songs, playback of various media via USB, includes automated scoring if you want it.

17,000 OPM songs (Original Pilipino Music ~ in Tagalog) and over 30,000 international songs. Monthly song updates are 150 pesos (~4.50 AUD) per month if you want them.

It's basically a small computer running Android with a 1tb hard drive in a home entertainment case. It is pretty well put together and better than alternative Korean options available via EBAY (TJ Media) which don't have anywhere near as many English songs and often don't have English characters on the units/remotes.

Yes you can use a normal PC and Youtube to do karaoke, but this unit gives you a better experience IMHO (as long as it has the songs you want).

As it is really designed to be used commercially, it is very easy to use - just enter your song number using the remote or search for songs by artist or title (easier if you have the big remote which is not included but you could use the app or the included song book to do the same thing).

There is a free Itunes and Android app with their entire songbook listing on it.

The unit includes a printed songbook, a basic remote control, a USB wifi dongle and the karaoke machine.

Usually sells for 24,999 Pesos with a big remote and wifi dongle thrown in.

The real benefit of this deal is FREE SHIPPING. You also get a free USB wifi dongle but no big remote.

Shipping is normally an outrageously high 5,600 pesos..

Unfortunately if you add the PTR-1000 big remote (2,999 pesos) you lose the free shipping which is crazy as they would just slip the remote inside the HD-10's box.

So I am gonna buy a PTR-1000 on my next visit to Manila. At least I won't have to lug the HD-10 back on the plane.

If you buy now it should include all song updates up to and including April 2017.

    Are there any mobile apps or PC alternatives for karaoke?

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 18/04/2017 - 19:07

      PC and Youtube is the cheapest alternative. Not sure about mobile apps but I guess you could stream Bluetooth to your speaker setup?

      • YellowKnight on 18/04/2017 - 19:08

        But how do you get the echo and even from the mic on your phone? Not to mention the awesome scoring system the things have.

        • GreatWhiteHunter on 18/04/2017 - 19:11

          Yeah I think as an overall package these are hard to beat. I guess there is Magic Sing and similar alternatives - I think this is a better all round unit though - albeit more expensive once you add microphones, speakers etc.

          I've been eyeing these off for quite some time. The free shipping helps a lot given Cebu Pacific now want $55 AUD each way for 20kg of baggage…

          Pity they don't have an Australian service outlet - but I guess if they sell enough units anything is possible…

          I will try to backup the hard drive somehow as its the most likely point of failure - i may even try putting an SSD in instead…

    • quop on 18/04/2017 - 19:11

      Maybe have a look at Angel Sing if you happen to know a bit of Chinese. Can't remember the site where I first came across it, but this looks to be the same one: http://m.apkhere.com/app/com.audiocn.kalaok

  • mshanann on 18/04/2017 - 19:22

    So my karaoke holy grail would be the artists youtube-style original video clip with lyrics presented in a sub-title fashion on screen in full-sync with the audio, and the vocals lowered or removed without affecting overall sound quality. Does any such beast exist?

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 18/04/2017 - 19:23

      Tough ask. Maybe a limited number of such clips on Youtube….

      Check out the Kickstarter project Popsical - it's finished now and only available to Hong Kong and Singapore, but they might release more widely later.

        For the life of me, I don't understand why Apple has not gone back to the artists and asked them to try get together a Karaoke film-clip version of all their (hit) tracks. Seems like money for jam, particularly if the artists already have a vocal-free version of the track. Add Apple's DRM etc and require the clip to be played on an Apple XXX device to prevent piracy etc

    • Meld on 19/04/2017 - 04:47

      Have you tried games like Singstar or Lips, or Rockband.

      If you learn basic music skills and get a DAW you can just make your own song-backing. And then you can just use the original music video but mute the audio from that. But you probably won't be able to share it on YouTube due to copyright.

  • jammy2006 on 18/04/2017 - 19:39

    The most advance Karaoke System supporting full HD HDMI; Full HD Video; Full HD Sound; Full HD Microphone

    Full HD Sound AND Full HD Microphone! Never heard of that standard before.

    Also seems to run an ancient version of android - Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

    I'm sure it does its thing well though.. I assume just like those Karaoke places in the city?

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 18/04/2017 - 19:43

      It is a single purpose device. Doesn't need to be the latest and greatest Android version. What you want is stability.

      They do their job well. Don't do karaoke in Sydney so couldn't tell you if they use them there, but wouldn't at all surprise.

      I would say this thing is kinda like a Tivo - very similar build - but a karaoke device rather than a PVR.

  • nephilim on 18/04/2017 - 19:51

    Anyone who has been to Philippines and actually left a major city, knows the joy of hearing 3-4 different karaoke machines at full blast at 11pm at night.
    Serious business there. Philippines airlines sells a cheap version with crazy amount of songs for 300, but this seems top of the line.

  • HandsomeMonkey on 18/04/2017 - 19:55

    I heard someone got shot for being tone deaf in a Filipino karaoke bar in Manila a few years back. Hardcore!!

  • marquise on 18/04/2017 - 20:55

    For English songs by US artists, are the KTV songs the 'good' versions with the original film clips? Usually when I go karaoke here, there's 'good' versions and 'crap' versions. Crap versions include really awful video clips of couples prancing around in what looks like the 1990s.

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 18/04/2017 - 22:51

      Pretty sure you wont get original video clips (though you could play them on it if you downloaded them yourself).

      You'll get a choice of several backgrounds including sexy bikini girls and electronic dancers among others. In PI the bikini girls are the most popular pick…

      • marquise on 18/04/2017 - 23:14

        Actually it's not the awful video clips that concern me, but they tend to be accompanied by pretty crap backing tracks. Whereas the good backing tracks tend to have original music videos. I'm not sure how it works, whether the record labels actually licence the songs/videos for karaoke use or whether someone is putting together a really good karaoke version synced to the original music video.

  • Ryanek on 18/04/2017 - 20:57

    Informative description, thanks OP.

  • CVonC on 18/04/2017 - 21:45

    How does this compare to the Grande Karaoke machines they sell in SM and what not?

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 18/04/2017 - 22:44

      Grand Videoke are generally the more portable units. Their direct competition are the likes of Magic Sing. They have say 5,000 songs on them (not all English) that is a hell of a lot less than this. The portability and fact they come with 2 wireless microphones built in might make them a better option for some.

      Grand Videoke is owned by TJ Media - TJ do also make units like this, checkout EBAY to see whats on offer.

      TJ don't seem to deal directly in Australia.
      The EBAY ones although sold into Australia often have very limited array of English songs (mainly Korean) and also their remotes and controls often have non-English characters.

      As a Filipino company, the Platinum stuff focuses on English and Tagalog, and the characters on the unit and controls are English.

      I believe TJ Media stuff is good, just not sure it has what an English speaking person would want.

      My female friends are Thai and Filipino, so I'd rather a Tagalog/English then Korean/English unit all things being equal.

      • PR0r on 18/04/2017 - 23:08

        Would one expect decent bit rate songs?

  • bargainshooter on 01/05/2017 - 12:02

    What about ultrastar?
