I bought one 7000-4H, one 7000-2H2B, and a PAS-225X antenna distribution system for our church’s youth group and for outdoor occasions. They are being used weekly in the youth and I’ve used them once in the city park at an event. So far so good. I am used to using upper end Sennheiser mics, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the sound quality of these. I’ve heard I slight distortion a time or 2 at the park event with my singer with the strongest voice at peak volume of a song, but it could have been the channel peaking at that point, as we had virtually no time to practice before performance time.
The headsets with the 7000-2H2B sound good too. The Youth Pastor uses one every Wednesday night and really sounds great.
The antenna distribution system works great! At the park we had a distance of around 100ft from antennas to the stage with no issue at all.
Overall, I’m very happy with this setup and I recommend this system to anyone.

So far so good! Great IEM System for the price. Haven’t had any dropouts or anything. Sound great.
Received the Phenyx Pro PTU-7000 last week and immediately installed the receiver in my rack. Already used the mics at our band practice and they were outstanding. My band mates love them as do I. Looking forward to using them at our next gig. Thank you Phenyx Pro.

I watched a few reviews on this mic and was honestly a little hesitant. I’ve always used Shure mics but didn’t want to use them for karaoke. Did my first show last night and the sound was amazing. Really couldn’t tell the difference between these and my 58’s. I would purchase again.

I lead a large 17-piece jazz band. We’re a community band with a very limited budget. Our PA is rather simple with two main speakers, and two inputs for vocals and keys. As you can imagine, a 17-piece band can be quite loud, which is problematic for our vocalist. With the main speakers doubling as vocal monitor, the struggle for the vocalist to hear herself sing is quite real.I was offered a chance to test the Phenyx Pro PTM-10 In Ear Stereo monitoring system. First, as with all Phenyx Pro products, the packaging is very nice. The PTM-10 system is housed in its own hard plastic carrying case, no need to carry around the retail package like some other products. The package includes the transmitter, receiver, antennae, batteries, earbuds, and rack mounting kit. Everything you’d need to use this product right out of the box.SETUP/TEST: Setup is extremely easy. I plugged in the transmitter, put batteries in the receiver (Bodypack), connected the transmitter to the PA, and voila, I could hear anything coming from the PA through the ear buds. The manual is nicely written. I navigated through all of the settings on the bodypack and transmitter. Changing Groups and Channels is very easy. I ran the system in stereo mode which was very nice. I did not play with the balance much as it wasn’t needed in our setup. The audio coming through ear buds was very clean. Being able to mute the body pack and adjust the volume with the body pack is a nice feature.QUALITY: The quality of all most Phenyx Products is very good. The transmitter unit is made of metal, not cheap plastic on PTM-10. Including the rubber feet to keep the unit from sliding is a nice touch. The Bodypack that came with the unit is made of plastic, but it doesn’t feel cheap. The buttons on the bodypack are responsive and very "clicky", you know you pressed the button. A nice feature is having the ability to lock the settings on the body pack so there’s no accidental changing of settings. Overall, the PTM-10 is a well.

I was very blessed to be able to try out the PTM-33-4B Phenyx Pro IEM system. The ease of setup and the seamless integration with other equipment like the Phenyx Pro 3PDP for guitars and the Phenyx Pro PTU-7000 microphone system can make a significant difference in a live performance setting. The absence of dropouts or interference is a testament to the reliability of the technology, which is crucial for maintaining the flow of a performance. It's also great to know that the clarity of sound contributed to the musicians' ability to perform harmonies accurately. The Importance of quality audio equipment in enhancing the overall musical experience for both performers and listeners.
You can’t beat the channel/$ ratio with this thing. Capsule quality sounds very similar to an SM58. Overall solid quality. 4 channels in 1RU. If you are more focused on bulletproof reception go with the PTU-2U with true diversity.

First off let me say these microphones sound better than I imagined.The sound quality is great as it is, but if you are an artist you may need to boost right around 3-5k.Battery life is great I can do a full day of recording using these mics and only go through 2 AA batteries a day. (For each mic).Durability- is great, solid aluminum body except the plastic cap over the antenna, the wind screen is very sturdy, the pop filter built in is adequate but in windy areas I would recommend an added foam filter.The IR sync works great, one thing I will say is that one thing I noticed is if I sync and connect the microphones then put them on a mic stand it will sometimes lose sync. This could be interference or some safety feature it has, but if you are taking your mic on and off a mic stand this could be an issue. I do believe you could avoid any connectivity issues by adding a wing style or cone style wireless mic antenna.The Receiver has two balanced out XLR connections in the back, it also has a summed mono 1/4 connection if that is what you prefer.In the receiver front you have Mic 1 and Mic 2 controls, a volume for each, or a gain control for each. You have a channel up or channel down selector if you prefer to manually select your channel. And then there is the auto scan feature which works great in finding open frequencies for the mic to connect to.This mic would be perfect in a podcast setting, a wedding ceremony, or any scenario you are doing speaking as the primary function.If you are a singer or performer this mic will still work great for you, but like any mic you will need to EQ and compress to get the sound you want. This mic does not add anything to the voice and in my experience in recording spoken word and vocals tracks while playing and singing the Phenyx Pro shows wonderful side rejection, and a forgiving off axis design. You will need to stay fairly on top the mic though for consistent vocals.Noisefloor is on par with other handheld microphones. If you g.

As a DJ, I have tried many inexpensive dual-microphone systems from several companies that did not work well, but this system is the best I have ever used and was affordable. I have a high-end mic system from Shure, and this system sounds just as clear as that one. No drop-outs, no interference, and no feedback. These mics worked right out of the box with no issues. If you want a dual-mic system and don't want to pay $500 or more for one, get one of these systems; you will be satisfied.

Amazing that 4 channels can fit in just one rack space. Our four-piece acoustic band can now hear clearly and moreover consistently, night after night. We’ve experienced no drop outs or interference. The belt packs are sturdy and provide plenty of gain. Battery life is amazing. The included earbuds are adequate but add a decent pair of IEMs and you’ll be really impressed. Thank you, Phenyx Pro.
Shipping: Just shy of 48 hours.Packaging/Boxing: This is my 4th item from Phenyx Pro, and each time I'm impressed with their overall packaging. This unit comes with it's own pastic/foamed carrying case though - which is awesome for use when not in a rack unit - especially for storing and transporting to gigs. Plastic feels a little flimsy on the closure - but I don't plan to rip it open like a gorilla so I think it will be just fine. lol.Unit: Solid and compact. I LOVE that it comes with all the hardware to rack mount as well as the BNC cable to reroute the antenna to the front.Cons:1. Bodypack doors seem very flimsy. I anticipate them breaking.As for the PTM-10 system, my first impression is that it is an impressive little unit. It sounded great and has some decent features, like stereo/mono inputs with combo jacks, and the ability to pad the input signal.This unit will be used by our drummer so he can tweak his own mix from a soundcraft ui24r.We did a thorough test with this unit during a 4 hour practice over the weekend. Our drummer said the sound quality was great and outpreformed our previous IEM system.

We just bought two of these to clean up our equipment rack. For the second unit we bought just the rack unit directly from the Phenyx store for the cheaper price - we didn't want to pay for antennas we wouldn't use.
Units works great in cascade mode; we're currently using x8 true diversity Sennheiser microphones, analogue and digital, as well as a PTU-7000 kit from Phenyx. We used the cascade ports on the second unit with BNC splitters to serve the x4 antenna inputs for the PTU-7000. So we're technically running 12 mics on 2 combiners and 2 antennas.
All radios except the PTU-7000 receive their power from the DC output jacks on the combiners, so no need for separate power supplies. Main power supply gets warm but not hot. Good clean power and the jacks fit securely.
Has all the cables you'll need other than bulkhead adapters. Paddles work fine but we decided to use (not included) 1/2 wave antennas since the rack is on stage and we might overload the receivers.
Noticeable range improvement and lower noise floor. Have yet to hear any artifacts other than occasionally at long ranges or if there's obstructions.
Gripes:
Power supply has a 3-prong AC input on the adapter brick, but the cable supplied has a 2-prong mains connection. I swapped out the cable for a proper AC cable but the power supply might not grounded - the ground pin might not connect to anything internally inside the power brick. Seems like an oversight.
Power connection on the rack unit is threaded as if it could accept a locking power supply connector, but the one shipped just has a barrel connection with no locking mechanism. It fits securely anyway but wish it could lock. For a permanent install like ours it's not a huge deal.
Unit seems to be a fraction of an inch taller than 1u so I had to loosen up the other equipment before I was able to slide this in place.

Arrived in UK with no customs charges and in about 10 days - not too bad.
Build quality seems pretty good.
And it works - I tested it with a CH38 (~600MHz) digital radio mic system and a CH70 (~825MHz) analogue radio mic system at the same time. I also compared performance with a 1/4 wave and 1/2 wave pair of omni aerials.
The gain adjustment on the paddles is in 1/2dB steps so 0dB to +8dB. This is key to getting good signal - too high and it overloads the receiver's inputs. Too low and you don't get connection. The right setting will depend on the venue, distance to transmitters and ay obstacles. Just keep an eye on the RF level on your receivers and increase the gain until you get a strong signal but stop there.
There is plenty of power for your receivers. Only 4 outputs though (1.1A each). Most receivers are less than 300mA so you could easily connect two to one power output with a splitter for a total of 5 receivers (using the 'cascade' output for the 5th receiver if you only have one ADU).
I haven't tested it at a gig yet but so far, so good. Pretty happy and fabulous value for money.
