Should I choose wired or wireless setup?

What’s the difference?

Wired connection (Ethernet / HDMI / Audio Cables)

A physical cable connects devices (e.g., iPad → router via Ethernet adapter, iPad → TV via HDMI).

Characteristics:

• Stable and consistent

• Lower latency (less delay)

• Not affected by WiFi congestion

• Requires cables and sometimes adapters
  
  

Wireless connection (WiFi / AirPlay / Bluetooth)

Devices connect wirelessly without cables.

Characteristics:

• More flexible placement

• Cleaner setup (fewer cables)

• Can suffer from interference or signal drops

• Higher latency risk

Wireless is often linked to:

• Songs buffering or failing to load

• Random app disconnects

• Audio delay between lyrics and music

• AirPlay randomly stopping

• Sound cutting out via Bluetooth

Which one should you use with Singa?

For Singa Pro in professional venues (bars, karaoke rooms, restaurants)

Recommended: Wired connection whenever possible. This is the most stable and reliable option. It reduces buffering, prevents audio delay, and minimizes the risk of disconnections

Why?

• Streaming karaoke requires stable internet

• Prevents buffering and playback interruptions

• More reliable during busy evenings

• Reduces risk of audio sync issues

Best practice setup:

• iPad connected to router via Ethernet adapter

• HDMI cable directly to TV

• Audio via mixer or sound system using cable (not Bluetooth)

This is the most stable and support-friendly configuration.

For smaller or casual setups

Wireless setups can work well in smaller or home environments with a strong and stable WiFi network. Wireless may be acceptable if:

• The WiFi network is strong and stable

• There are few devices using the network

• The venue is small

• No professional sound routing is required

However:

• Avoid Bluetooth for main audio in professional setups (can cause delay).

• Avoid AirPlay to TVs in commercial environments (can disconnect or lag).
