I'm new here and far from an audio expert. Trying to set up a karaoke system using the following:
1. Smart TV with hdmi input
2. Laptop - hdmi out to TV and audio out (headphone) to Mixer. The laptop runs the online karaoke service I belong to.
3. Mixer to Powered Speakers. The powered speakers have as input: Digital Coaxial and Digital Optical. This may be my biggest sticking point. I'm not even sure if I need a mixer but in my research, most seem to have. In research, it seems most use an XLR cable. But my speakers do not have XLR input - only Digital Coaxial and Digital Optical. I can't seem to find or know how to set up a mixer to powered speakers with Digital Coaxial or Digital Optical. Nor do I want to spend $300 on a mixer - hoping to get by with $100 or less. Based on this information can anyone give me a clue how to set up
4. Wireless Mic with a base as a receiver. Even though I'm not 100% sure basically I think I would just plug the mic base into the mixer but please elaborate if correct or not and maybe confirm what cables and inputs are involved.
In the above list, I have Smart TV, Laptop, and Powered Speakers. I'm in the market for Wireless Mic, Mixer, and whatever cables I need.
