Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a karaoke apparatus which is small in size, has high operability, and is suitable for personal use at home, etc. As long as it is possible to prevent noise annoyance to the neighborhood, it is possible to sing freely with a sufficient sound volume at any time you like, and a karaoke helmet device for beginners to use cheaply Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, karaoke apparatuses have become widespread, but along with this, noise around them is becoming a social problem. A so-called karaoke box is known as a karaoke device for preventing noise to the surroundings, but when used for home use, the device is too large, and therefore it cannot be said to be suitable for general use.

In the case of a karaoke device for home use, in order to suppress noise annoyance to the neighborhood as much as possible, the volume of the accompaniment sound can be considerably reduced by using a headphone or the like. However, if the voicing volume is reduced, even if a singing is performed using a karaoke machine, sufficient satisfaction cannot be obtained.

FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the main configuration of a conventional karaoke apparatus. In the figure, 11 is a storage medium, 12 is a reproducing / recording device, and 12a.
Is the audio signal reproducing / recording unit, and 12b is the video signal reproducing / recording unit.
A recording unit, 13 is a mixer, 14 is a microphone device, 15 is an amplifier, 16 is a speaker, 17 is a display, and 18 is an operation unit.

FIG. 3 shows a general karaoke apparatus, in which the accompaniment musical tone signal and lyrics and / or a video signal such as an appropriate background screen are recorded in the storage medium 11. There is also known a karaoke device to which a singer adds a function of recording his or her own singing voice as an audio signal, if necessary. As the storage medium 11, one having a large capacity such as an optical disk or one having a relatively small capacity such as a magnetic tape is used.

[0006] The operation unit 18 is used to instruct selection of music and start. There is also a so-called cordless connection system between the operation unit 18 and the karaoke system. Further, in order to reduce the accompaniment musical sound reproduced from the storage medium 11, it is possible to use a headphone instead of the speaker 16 although not shown.

A method of using the karaoke apparatus, etc. need not be described in particular, so that the description thereof will be omitted. As described above, in the conventional karaoke device, the problem of noise mainly occurs due to sound leakage to the surroundings. Therefore, many functions added, performance of accompaniment sound, etc. are fully utilized to allow free time. Can not be used freely,
There was an inconvenience.

[0008]

According to the present invention, these disadvantages of the conventional karaoke apparatus are solved, and even a general household can freely sing at a sufficient voicing volume without worrying about noise and annoyance to the neighborhood. An object of the present invention is to provide a helmet device for karaoke, which requires less space and allows users to freely enjoy karaoke performance when they want to sing.

The present invention is, firstly, provided with a microphone and a headphone or a small speaker inside a helmet, and at a suitable position of the helmet, the microphone and the headphone or a small speaker. This is a configuration in which a connecting means for connecting the speaker to an external circuit such as a control unit of the karaoke system is provided.

Secondly, in the above-mentioned first karaoke helmet device, the ventilation silencer is provided at an appropriate position of the helmet.

Thirdly, in the above-mentioned first or second karaoke helmet device, at an appropriate position of the helmet,
It has a display.

[0012]

In the present invention, from the viewpoint of space saving and noise prevention, a helmet style that covers the head of the singer is adopted so as not to inconvenience others.
Invention). In addition, this helmet is provided with a ventilation silencer to further improve the environment of the singer (invention of claim 2), and a display is provided to display lyrics and the like to facilitate singing (claim 3). Invention).
