Karaoke Info

If you think that Karaoke is a fad, think again! Karaoke is as popular now as when it first came out. It is a great way to spice up everything from a backyard party, to a corporate event, to a wedding.

For those of you who are not quite sure exactly what karaoke is or does, it is a version of a song without the lead vocals, allowing you to sing the lead vocals.

There are various types of karaoke formats available such as tape, cd+g, laser and dvd. At City Sound / Disc Jockeys Unlimited we use the cd+g format, which simply put means cd plus graphics and when played on one of our machines the lyrics appear up on the monitor or television and highlights them to signal you when to sing the words. In the case of a duet, the woman’s lyrics would appear in red on the screen and the man's in blue.

KARAOKE RENTAL SYSTEMS:

For rentals we prefer the use of cd+g’s for their ease of handling and also to keep rental costs as low as possible. In additon there are many more titles available than any other format and it is the only format that currently offers almost all the new titles.

For performances our karaoke hosts are available in various package combinations depending on your requirements. For more information on our karaoke entertainer packages, please scroll down this page past the rental section.

7-Plus all cables required- We provide you with all the cables to hook up the system and the cables to connect the system into your t.v. or home stereo system.

What makes our systems different than our competitors?

1-Monitor - we provide you with a monitor, many rental companies either do not or cannot or if they can they will charge you more money.

2-High song content ( 1200 songs)

3-Good selection of music (from the 40’s to the latest hot tunes)

4-Lots of specialty songs and artist cds available (e.g. Shania Twain's or Rolling Stones greatest hits or the Grease soundtrack)

5-Multi language Karaoke disc available (French / Spanish / Italian ...)

6-Music Catalogues - all our songs are listed in the music selection catalogue and cross referenced, listed alphabetically by title and artist for your ease of finding songs.

7-CD case and request sheets (CD+G’s are very expensive.By keeping them safely stored in the CD case until they are to be used, along with the use of the music catalogue and request sheets, means your guests will never have to touch the discs, thus reducing your liability.)

8-Our machines (Compact, easy to carry and use and large lit up display)

9-Our staff (Friendly, courteous and helpful)

10-Delivery is available within the greater Toronto area. (delivery charge will apply, call for quote)

Don’t shop for price alone when you are renting a karaoke system. Our price is very competive for either a complete system or individual components. We know that we have the absolute best and most complete rental system available anywhere in the greater Toronto area. Please shop and compare. Then call us back to reserve one of our systems so that you are not left singing the blues when you get home.
