Tablet app vs. SUNVIG professional karaoke system: what's the difference?

By Sunvig Karaoke Business solutions

There are too many suppliers out there. Sadly, many of them rely on using tablets with karaoke apps to offer their guests a karaoke experience. SUNVIG strongly believes this is the wrong way to present a karaoke concept. Here is why.

The issue with karaoke tablet apps

When looking to create a karaoke concept for your company, you will likely come across suppliers offering tablets with a karaoke app. If you are familiar with karaoke apps and tablets, you may have already encountered some problems. SUNVIG has examined these issues and designed our systems to address them

Cables and equipment

The use of tablets is common in the karaoke business. Tablets may look slick, but they come with several practical issues—the latest versions often lack an output for headphones. Additionally, tablets usually have no HDMI port, meaning extra equipment is necessary, creating unnecessary clutter. Adding a digital mixer to the tablet will only increase this mess of cables and loose technology.

Sunvig's solution

Our solution integrates all the equipment needed for karaoke tablet apps into compact, professional machines. The only external cables you’ll find on our systems are the plugs; everything else is integrated. Our microphones come wireless, and digitally displayed audio mixers on a central touchscreen make the setup more visually pleasing. On top of this, our systems are easier to clean.

Tablet durability vs. SUNVIG karaoke systems

What happens to a karaoke solution when it contains a lot of loose cables and equipment? It breaks much more easily. When many people fiddle around with the cables, buttons, and switches, they wear out faster, meaning they need to be replaced more often. On average, a karaoke room needs to replace its tablet twice a year.

Our systems are naturally more durable; they are designed with robust construction and strong touchscreens. Thanks to our integrated design, all buttons and sliders are part of the software, so there are no loose parts to break or wear out. As a result, our systems last longer and need replacement less often, saving valuable cash.

Memory storage and WiFi connection

Tablets have limited memory space. In most cases, this memory is not sufficient for professional use in a karaoke solution. Additionally, a tablet relies on a WiFi connection to function, as most apps stream their catalogues from an online source.

SUNVIG systems simply don’t have this problem

Our machines come with ample memory thanks to internal SSD storage, and they also work offline. This makes them suitable for locations without a stable connection, such as basements or even on a ship at sea. A WiFi connection is only needed when the software or catalogue needs to be updated.

Settings and security

The inability to adjust the app’s settings is a common issue with tablet karaoke applications. While the app’s dedicated audio mixer gives users a lot of control over the sound, it’s great fun for one set of users and a pain for the next because everyone’s preferences are different.


An integrated audio mixer is the solution in SUNVIG systems. To guarantee continuity between users, resetting the system to its default settings is fast and easy. You can lock guests out of the settings entirely by assigning them a personalised code. In addition to preventing misuse, this extra layer of protection also maintains an efficient running system.

A genuine karaoke experience

Guests frequently expect a more immersive experience from tablets with karaoke apps, but they get the opposite. As a result, a good deal of the users feel they could have avoided leaving the house and used the same app on their own devices. In fact, some karaoke apps even require that users control them with their phones, which then streams music to the app. Karaoke loses some of its social appeal in this setting, which can make the experience feel isolating.

The purpose of SUNVIG systems is to create a shared experience. With our centrally located, large screens, everyone in the room is involved, making it truly interactive. Our approach guarantees that everyone can participate simultaneously and removes distractions, unlike tablet-based systems that typically promote individual phone use. You can even add your own music, videos and company logos to our system to further personalise the experience.

By focusing on social entertainment rather than isolated interactions, SUNVIG makes sure they are memorable social events that guests will cherish forever

The plus side of tablets: is SUNVIG missing out?

Is there a positive to using a tablet? Of course. Tablets have a wide range of apps that can provide extra services, like streaming movies on apps like Netflix or Amazon Prime. Or you can even cast sports matches with apps from sports networks.


On the other hand, SUNVIG systems come with all of these features and more. You can personalise our machines with a variety of apps that let you stream media directly from the device, whether it’s movies, music, or sports. Thanks to our source extension, you can install popular platforms like ESPN, Disney+, and YouTube. Our built-in HDMI port also works with game consoles, so you have even more entertainment options.

 
Enjoy the same advantages that tablets offer with SUNVIG karaoke solutions, but without the typical issues that come with them. Our systems are designed for professional use and effortless experience. They are durable, have an integrated design, and offer extensive entertainment options.
