Aiming to spread the joys of karaoke far and wide across the UK, Lucky Voice is growing a franchise and licensing business to add private karaoke rooms in venues as varied as clubs, theme parks and hotels. Having embarked on this mission in 2005, 2019 saw the doors open on 5,000sq-ft venue in Holborn, London, with ten karaoke rooms and the requirement for a minimum of 20 microphones. Recently, these were upgraded with Shure SLXD Digital Wireless systems supplied by Pro Audio Systems and installed by PSA4AV.
‘Lucky Voice is a been previous user of Shure, and we knew that was the only brand that was going to meet all the requirements of the brief,’ says PSA4AV Senior Tech, Craig Walmsley. ‘We were really pleased to be the first to get hold of the brand new SLXD Digital Wireless system, in partnership with Peter Butler at Pro Audio Systems who worked closely with us on this project.’
‘In tandem with losing one of the frequencies we were using for our previous microphone system, we decided when re-opening the Holborn venue post-pandemic, it was time to upgrade,’ says Lucky Voice Operations Director, Phil Yates. ‘The microphones we had installed weren’t standing up to the test of the environment and the Lucky Voice brand is centred on providing the best premium karaoke experience. The Shure SLXD Digital wireless system has been representative of our brand values. The system is reliable, sounds amazing and most importantly for a venue like ours, it is sturdy and robust. We are very happy with the solution and more importantly, our staff and customers are too.’
With a further two venues in London and one in Brighton, Lucky Voice plans to roll out the Shure SLX-D wireless system across all: ‘When SLX-D was introduced last year, it was designed to offer the same robust reliability and legendary audio that has been core to all Shure products and in a scalable system,’ says Shure Director of Pro Audio, Stuart Moots. ‘It is great to hear that Lucky Voice, and all those involved, chose SLX-D for these reasons and that Shure is able to provide the best solution for their venues.’
