If you're the type who loves karaoke with family or friends, this might interest you. Singcore, a new brand from Ultimea, is launching the Singcore S1 and S1 Pro on Kickstarter from 3 November 2026.
Singcore calls it "the world's first AI singing studio". Put simply, it's an all-in-one karaoke machine with speakers, an Android touchscreen with Google Play, a camera, two wireless mics and AI features, all in one portable box.
What is Singcore?
Imagine a party speaker, an Android tablet and a karaoke machine combined. The 10.1-inch touchscreen flips open, and because it runs Android with Google Play, you can install karaoke, music, video and game apps. Singcore claims it's the first Google-certified karaoke machine.
That means you're not stuck with one app's song catalogue. Use the streaming apps you already know.
AI features
Inside, Singcore has an NPU rated up to 6 TOPS for AI processing. Here's some of what it can do:
- Vocal Removal: strips the original singer's voice to turn any song into a karaoke track
- Vocal Removal Mic: removes vocals live while you sing
- Song Creation: create songs with AI
- MV Creation: generate a music video from your performance
- Singing analysis, voice recognition and image processing
Sound: 3-way acoustic system
Both models use the same driver setup:
- 1 x 4-inch woofer for bass
- 2 x 2.5-inch full-range drivers for vocals
- 2 x 1-inch tweeters for highs
- 480W peak power
There are 121 tuned EQ presets, 4 quick EQ modes, and you can tweak each frequency band yourself. When you're not singing, it works as a regular speaker for parties or listening to music.
Two wireless mics
It comes with 2 x 5.8GHz wireless mics. Wireless range reaches up to 30 metres and mic battery lasts up to 30 hours. You can adjust reverb and echo for a stage-style vocal effect.
A camera to record performances
A built-in HD camera records you while you sing, so you can save or share it. The Singcore app also has a community space for online sing-offs, and a family space to manage profiles and keep recordings.
Take it anywhere
It has a built-in handle, RGB lighting and up to 10 hours of battery. So you can carry it from the living room to the garden, or take it to the beach and camping.
Connectivity is generous too: Bluetooth, HDMI out (to a TV), USB, AUX in, TF card, USB-C, 6.5mm input (for a guitar or mic), optical out, 3.5mm line out and Auracast. You can also pair two units for stereo sound.
S1 vs S1 Pro: what's the difference?
The main differences are the camera and storage. Everything else is the same.
- Singcore S1: 5MP camera, 4GB RAM + 64GB storage
- Singcore S1 Pro: 8MP camera, 4GB RAM + 128GB storage
- Same on both: 10.1-inch touchscreen, Android with Google Play, 2 wireless mics, 3-way acoustics, 480W, 10-hour battery
Honoured at IFA 2026
The Singcore S1 Pro was named an IFA Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree in the Best in Home & Entertainment category. Ultimea isn't new to crowdfunding either: its Ultimea Skywave X100 Dual Kickstarter campaign from March to May 2026 raised around US$2.2 million from 2,152 backers.
Price and how to get it
The Kickstarter campaign runs from 3 November to 3 December 2026. Super Early Bird prices (USD):
- Singcore S1: US$699 (MSRP US$1,199)
- Singcore S1 Pro: US$799 (MSRP US$1,399)
Singcore also has a US$9.90 reservation deposit offer, open until 2 November. Buyers who reserve and then back on Kickstarter can get a US$100 refund after the campaign ends, bringing the price to US$599 (S1) and US$699 (S1 Pro). The deposit is refundable if you cancel, but read the full terms on Singcore's site first.
It comes with a 1-year limited warranty. Malaysian pricing and shipping haven't been officially announced, so check at checkout on Kickstarter.
Remember, Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform. You're backing a project, not buying from a store, so delivery dates and the final product can change.

I think this idea is perfect for Malaysian families who love karaoke during Raya or kenduri. What do you think, worth it? 馃帳
