 Sound bar, mic, mixer - movilogo
I intend to purchase a home studio system. But not everything at same time.

I understand in theory I need microphone/s, a mixer and a speaker.

Can I just buy a sound bar and connect a single microphone to it?

What do I need to look for in sound bar? Just red/white ports good enough for connection?

Although I'd buy one with bluetooth as well.

Optical is supposed to be better, but mine is connected to the TV by Aux cable to headphone socket and I have no complaints about the sound quality. Music comes through as good as it sounds on the Hi-Fi.

You'll need to be a little more descriptive than this, because at first look a sound bar is NOT what you need for a "home studio"

Home studio? why? what for? Soon as you say what you need it for and what you plan to do with it, then we can progress.

To amplify vocal and/or acoustic instrument
To have karaoke

Noticed that some active speakers have built in 2-3 channel mixing capability. Perhaps that what I need rather than sound bar.

I bought an active speaker.

It has 2 channel inputs. One says MIC/LINE INPUT 1 (with a push button for Mic on/off). But the other input just says LINE INPUT 2. Second one has no XLR but red/white female ports.

What is the difference between these two?

The manual just a 1-page one which says nothing.

Based on my internet research I have now realized that only the ports with MIC marked would have pre-amp. Any other line input will not have pre-amp.
