Soundcore Rave 3S (A31A3) 200W Party Speaker with AI Vocal Removal

The Soundcore Rave 3S (model A31A3) is a large party speaker that combines 200W of sound, a light show and a karaoke mode. It comes with two wireless microphones, so singing along is part of the package rather than an add-on.

How AI vocal removal works

Traditional karaoke needs special tracks without vocals. Soundcore says the Rave 3S gets around this with AI vocal removal: pick a song from any app, and the speaker removes the original vocals in real time. You can lower the vocal level to sing along with the singer, or remove it to go solo.

Separating a voice from a mixed recording is difficult, so the results typically vary from song to song. Heavily layered tracks may leave traces of the original vocal.

Sound output

The listing rates the speaker at 200W, using one 6.5-inch woofer and three 2.5-inch full-range drivers. Soundcore says it can fill a basketball court. As with any speaker, wattage describes amplifier power rather than loudness, and the listed drivers shape how the bass and mid-range sound. A larger woofer typically moves more air at low frequencies.

Microphones

Two wireless microphones are included, for duets or taking turns. Each has built-in controls for volume and vocal removal. Mic effects such as reverb and vocal effects can be set through the app.

Lights

Beat-synced lights follow the music, and the soundcore app lets you customise the effects to suit the mood. That makes the speaker as much a part of the decor at a party as a source of sound. Soundcore suggests using it in the home or the backyard.

App control

The soundcore app gives access to EQ settings, lighting, vocal effects and reverb. It is the place to go for fine-tuning once the speaker is up and running.

Size and weight

This is a big speaker: 23.4 x 14.8 x 13.1 inches and 23.1 lb (about 10.5 kg). It is portable in the sense that it can be moved from room to room or to a garden, not in the sense of a speaker that goes in a bag. The listing doesn't describe battery life here, so check the manual and product details for how it is powered.

Who it suits

It suits family gatherings, birthday parties, backyard get-togethers and anyone who enjoys karaoke. It is more speaker than most people need for background music, and a smaller model is easier to live with for that.

What to check before you buy

• Space: at over 23 inches wide and 23 lb, confirm where it will sit and be stored.
• Power: confirm how it is powered and whether you need a socket nearby.
• Volume: consider neighbours, local noise rules and hearing safety.
• Karaoke sources: check which apps and devices work with AI vocal removal.
• Microphones: find out how they're charged and stored.
