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.

Hi,
My karaoke set up is different from your's. Does your power speakers has microphone and Left, Right RCA input?

If your mixer is analogue and your active loudspeakers only have digital inputs, you will need an analogue to digital converter to connect them. What loudspeaker model do you use? Do you use the mixer to mix a microphone signal with the sound coming from the laptop?
