Better Music Builder is a pioneer in using CPU-controlled technologies to
enhance the audio performance of our products. In general, by using the CPU
technology, it enables our engineers to develop more unique music and microphone
sound effects, which include personal microphone tone and reverb effect setup,
digital sound effects that can be adjustable, the ability to lock on personal
favorite settings, and the great stability to prevent the equipment from burning
and breakage. 
For instance, Better Music Builder DX-222 is the world's first generation of
CPU-controlled Karaoke Mixing Amplifier. This mixing amplifier uses the
state-of-art technology by integrating a CPU processor inside the machine. Our
engineers use this idea because it enables the machine to perform detailed task
and have good control by using CPU technology. It can also produce excellent
music source and vocal effects by a digital mixing powered amplifier with 500
Watts.
Better Music Builder DX-288 is the second generation of CPU-controlled
Karaoke powered mixing amplifier with 700 Watts developed by our engineering
team. It is a combination of the latest technology and innovative design. By
using the CPU technology, DX-288 is the first Karaoke powered mixing amplifier
that can create a new Karaoke effect with 5 channels to enable an option for
center speaker (for monitoring vocal).
Better Music Builder DX-3000 audio/video effect processor was originally
developed by our engineering team in California , USA . DX-3000 uses the
state-of-art CPU technology. Our engineers use this idea because it enables the
machine to perform detailed task and multiple processing functions. This model
has been widely accepted by the U.S. consumers since it came to the market.
In addition, by using the latest audio technology, our engineering team
developed a compact speaker with strong output power. Although the size of this
compact speaker is small, it can produce strong output power with exceptionally
high performance. It can be best used for conference room, home entertainment,
restaurant, café, school, church and outdoor functions, etc.
Thanks to the strenuous efforts of our engineering team! Better Music Builder
will continue to research and develop new audio technologies, and we will
constantly create innovative audio products to satisfy your special needs.
What is a CPU-controlled amplifier/mixer?
A CPU-controlled amplifier/mixer is a machine controlled by a built-in Central Processing Unit (CPU) like a computer.
The CPU controls the lock function on both music and echo volume. It presets both music and echo volume at certain level (for instance, the level is locked at 40 dB). Since the lock function is controlled by the CPU, to release the lock on the music and echo volume, you need to adjust it from the machine manually with a special screw driver that comes with the machine.
For example, you cannot turn the master button for “MUSIC VOLUME” to adjust the music volume to a higher level than a level that is locked by the CPU (for instance, locked at 35dB). Please note that the music volume level ranges from 0 dB to 90 dB. However, you can adjust it to a lower music volume level (in this case any level that is lower than 35dB) by turning the master button for “MUSIC VOLUME”. To unlock (or reset) the music volume level preset by the CPU, you need to use a special screw drive to adjust the volume level at the “MUSIC LOCK” under the master button for “MUSIC VOLUME.”
For the same token, you cannot turn the master button for “ECHO VOLUME” to adjust the echo volume because it is locked by the CPU. Under the MIC Effect Mode, the CPU has preset the echo volume at different levels for 1, 2, 3 (for instance, 20dB, 30dB and 40dB for 1, 2 and 3 respectively) and give you the option to adjust to any echo volume level you want at FIX. To unlock the echo volume levels for 1, 2 and 3, first press the “MIC EFFECT MODE” and then press “OFF.” Next, press the “UP” and “Down” button for adjusting the echo volume level.
What's VOD input?
VOD (Video On Demand) is a main source input terminal has the first priority
for auto switching mode. This mode is specially designed by Better Music Builder
for KTV clubs and for commercial use. At the mean time, it can saves time and
the manpower with easy control like performing functions such as billing,
beverage & food ordering and keeping track of the time for karaoke singing
in the VIP rooms. If you are confused with this function, please consult with an
audio professional for advice.
"Smart” Auto Input Switching Function is unlike regular Auto Selection
Function which first signal received from terminal will be switched to that
terminal regardless of input priority. However, “Smart” Auto Switching Function
reserves the first priority for main input VOD, then BGM not Manual input
terminal.

When three
terminals (i.e. Main , BGM and Manual) are all operating (i.e. music source is
playing) at the same time, the Smart Auto Input Switching would give the Main
input terminal the first priority to operate. Even though other source is
manually/remote selected while Main input terminal has signal, it will
automatically switch back to the Main input selection because SAIS is active.
If you want to select BGM or Manual inputs, you MUST stop the Main input
source from playing. Then you can select manually between BGM and Manual
selections.
This SAIS feature is special designed by Better Music
Builder for commercial KTV use.

What is CDG (CD+G/CD+Graphics)?
 CDG, or CD+Graphics, is a standard that was defined to take
advantage of the unused space on a regular CD audio disc. This area is used to
hold graphical data in the form of pictures, text and special instructions to
display the data synchronized to the audio playback. Due to the limitation of
computer technology at the time when it was designed, the graphics are limited
to a resolution of 300 x 216 in 16 colors.
CD+G discs require a CD+G player in order to display the graphics. A regular
CD player can play the audio fine but without the graphics. Most CD+G discs are
designed for Karaoke. However, some CDs may have used CD+G to enhance the
listening experience by including animated images, pictures and song lyrics.
Most computer systems are unable to play CD+G discs because most of the
regular CD-ROM drives are unable to read the graphics data area. Therefore, the
KMF format was created. This file format was designed to take advantage of the
latest audio compression technology, so it can compress the CD+G data and
combine them into a single file that most regular computer system can read.
What is magic microphone?
Magic microphone, which was originally designed and manufactured in South
Korea , can store thousands of songs with different languages (including
English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Spanish, etc.) in an interactive
microphone system. Magic microphone is price affordable and convenient to those
who have strong passion for Karaoke singing. It is a revolutionary product that
opens a new page for Karaoke.
The most state-of-the-art audio technology field employs computer software
media, similar to MP3 and MP4 technology. Each software media can store 80G or
even 120G. Therefore, this great technology can allow the storage of many
thousands of songs. It is a big jump in technology innovation, as compared to
the old laser disk (LD), it can only store 15 songs per side, or a total of 30
songs in one LD.

Home theater system is the combination of audio, video and sound for home
entertainment. The goal of home theater system is to improve the audio/video
quality by using a surround sound processor, amplifier and speakers. Therefore,
it tries to produce the sound and image of a good commercial theater.
An all-in-one home theater system is often called "Home Theater in a Box" or
“Home Theater Shelf System." The home theater system package generally includes
a preamplifier or processor, five speakers for surround sound, a subwoofer for
bass and even a VCD or DVD player. If you use the home theater system with magic
microphone, you can play the most basic Karaoke. |
