Press Release: Ikarao Smart Karaoke Machines are now available throughout ANZ

Melbourne, Australia. 5th August 2025 - Ikarao, a leading brand in the karaoke industry, announces their new 2025 range of Smart Karaoke machines. Leading the line-up is the Red Dot Award-winning Break X1, a powerhouse speaker boasting a 13.3" 180° rotatable touchscreen, 460W output and two wireless hidden microphones with smart auto-recharging. Perfect for full scale party music and epic karaoke nights, the Break X1 seamlessly combines stunning design with advanced functionality including HDMI and Dual-band Wi-Fi for a stable connection anywhere.

The launch of its highly anticipated product lineup features three cutting-edge smart speaker systems: Break X1, Break X2, and Shell S1. With premium audio performance, built-in full HD touchscreens and wireless mic technology, these all-in-one systems are designed to transform any home or event into a fun experience led by hi-fi sound. All models feature advanced karaoke functionality; lyrics display, and discreet portable microphones housed in each unit.

"The Ikarao makes it so fast and easy to start playing Karaoke, the wireless microphones instantly connect, and I can find music and read the lyrics on the big display, plus you don't have to use your own phone. It's such a smart approach to karaoke in the home" said Phoebe Dainton, Director of Audacity Australia.

Perform Solo, Duet or Battle

Ikarao All-in-one smart karaoke machines provide everything you need for your next big performance, whether just for fun or auditioning as a contestant in your living room with friends. The on-screen lyrics playback and two wireless microphones lets you Sing as a solo artist, perform a duet with your bestie, or do battle and be judged by the crowd. With immersive high-fidelity sound packed into the speaker and customizable sound effects, you'll put on a show like your idols.

Capture the Moments

When you have lots of people at your party, no one likes to leave their phone unattended. Unlike traditional Karaoke Machines, which require you to use your mobile phone or tablet for lyrics and music playback, Ikarao's large integrated display and onboard Karaoke apps lets you keep your phone safe with you and lets you capture the moment and post videos of your friends to socials. And your karaoke session won't be interrupted by your next call or text.

Get your audience involved on your big screen

Take centre stage and when your performance draws an audience, simply connect your Ikarao via HDMI to your TV or projector to display lyrics on the big screen, so everyone can sing along. The AUX line output also lets you connect to bigger speakers and utilize your existing home entertainment system. If playing your guitar or keyboard is more your style, there's a 6.3mm input or add additional wired microphones.

Hidden Professional-Grade Wireless Microphone

The Break series features a unique hidden microphone design, which allows you to conveniently store your microphones safely, whilst the smart charging function ensures they are always ready to go for your next karaoke session. The Shell series features a pair of self-charging magnetic microphones which automatically charge when docked. Professional grade microphones easily pair and connect for playback, and the customizable sound effects and stable connection make it perfect for any performance, from karaoke to live speeches.
