Abstract
A holder is provided for a remote controller of a karaoke machine. The holder causes the remote controller to be removably held to a handle of a microphone. The holder comprises a portion of an elastic material, such that the portion can tightly fit an outer surface of the handle of the microphone. Further, the holder comprises an approximately C-shaped portion or an approximately ring-shaped portion which matches an outer shape of the handle of the microphone. The remote controller comprises infrared-ray-emitting diodes for emitting a signal in response to a user operating the control buttons to the karaoke machine. A signal-receiving means receives the signal emitted by the signal-emitting means, the signal-receiving means then outputting a relevant signal to the karaoke machine for amplifying a voice input through the microphone, adding accompaniment to the thus-amplified voice and outputting a resulting sound.
