"Fans still yearn for the excitement that once filled living rooms with music games like Guitar Hero. Everyone was having parties and experiencing music together in a new way," said Charles Huang, co-creator of Guitar Hero and Singtrix partner. "We are carrying on that legacy with Singtrix."

"Singing is universal and offers the greatest opportunity for innovation. Singtrix is a new and transformative experience for all music lovers; it makes regular people sound great," said John Devecka CEO of Singtrix.

Singtrix creator John Devecka is an early music game pioneer who, together with former band mate and business partner Eric Berkowitz, introduced the first coin-operated musical performance game, Drumscape, in 1996. Drumscape's patents and underlying technology would eventually find their way into "Guitar Hero." Together with Guitar Hero's founders, Kai and Charles Huang, the Singtrix team plan to bring the next culture-changing musical experience to the world.

Studio-Quality Effects at the Turn of a Dial

The plug-and-play Singtrix Studio is powered by professional vocal effects processing from TC-Helicon, the leader in live studio-quality vocal effects. Singtrix offers more than 300 retro and modern vocal effects presets covering every generation and genre of music, including everyone's favorite singing anthems.

You Are Your Own "Live Back-up Singers"

In addition to dozens of professional effects like reverb, flanger, delay, doubling, hard tune and more, the Singtrix Live Harmony effects provide up to four additional harmony voices and can be used to make a chorus or bridge of your favorite songs sound larger than life. The "Hit" effect button located on the microphone conveniently controls this and other effects. Now one singer can instantly sound like their favorite vocal supergroup or a choir of voices.

Professional-Quality Pitch Correction and Enhancement

Using state-of-the-art technology, Singtrix makes a user's voice sound better and stronger without sounding un-natural. The Singtrix Studio offers three skill levels with progressive pitch correction: Enhanced, Semi-Pro and Pro.

Total Freedom with Any Music Source, Any Device

The Singtrix Studio is compatible with audio devices with a 3.5mm audio connector. Singers can simply plug in a smartphone, tablet, MP3 player or computer and choose songs from their own music libraries, karaoke apps or stream karaoke videos from sites like YouTube™. Singtrix provides the option to lower existing vocals on standard songs with a "Song Voice" feature.

The Singtrix-branded karaoke app powered by Karaoke Anywhere for Apple® iOS, Android™ or Kindle Fire™ tablets includes a library of more than 13,000 songs with lyrics, and is available for a monthly subscription fee and includes individual song purchases as well.

The Singtrix 40-watt, 2.1 custom Stereo Speaker System is compact and portable. With a built-in subwoofer, it provides exceptional room-filling sound, allowing users to bring the party wherever they go. As an added bonus, it can be used as a home theater or gaming speaker.
