I still make what I need to make in my club which is above the norm around here. Pretty much the same, $100 a night if you are lucky. I finally sold my mobile systems because no one would pay that would make it worth to pack up in the van. I suppose I could go the route that all the cheap companies do & find the cheapest, most ear splitting tinny sound I could find for under $1000 & do the same, but I prefer a good quality sound myself & won't compromise.
Most of the bars around here are dropping karaoke altogether & reverting back to dj's or doing a combo of karaoke/dj - usually leaning more toward dj. Helps our club out as we are still strictly karaoke 7 nights and have been since 92. So singers are starting to come back our way as some of the 'karaoke' clubs are no longer!
