Karaoke Show Physical Layout

[dschwark]

I have a Vocopro Bravo II All in one karaoke Player System, which is the main sound component. Along with Hoster, and a Wireless Mic System and small TV. I can connect the Bravo to larger sound systems where necessary to get a "bigger sound" where necessary. My question is one of Physics and the best physical Karaoke layout for the KJ and the Singers and the Audience.

I have a 4 foot table where I usually place my sound setup, computer, and TV. I usually sit beside sound system and behind the table. The performers usually face the 4 foot table with the sound system and the TV pointed out at them, and the "crowd" in general... Two main problems exist in that scenario, 1) I (KJ) can't hear the sound as well as I would like to adjust the loudness, base & treble. 2) When singers come up with their request slips, they interfere, alot of times, with the performing singer's view of the screen, or are otherwise a general distraction.

The real question here after all this background is what is the ideal karaoke physical layout of the sound system, Singer, and KJ, for maximum control of the show, best possible sound quality, and placing the most emphasis on the karaoke singer? Does anyone have any thoughts on that?
Thanks,
Dan
