PTM-22-4B | UHF Mono Wireless In-Ear Monitor System w/ 2 Loop Outputs

My band Eden On Fire had the pleasure of testing the Phenyx Pro PTM-22 IEM system these past few weeks. I have been using the PTM-11 for sometime and expected nothing but quality from my experience with them. This is what we found.The system comes complete with everything you need for a two person in-ear monitor setup: two receiver body-packs and one transmitter with controls for separate mixes and antennas with a power supply to run the unit. There are two sets of ear buds included to use with the receivers. Mounting hardware is also included if you want to rack-mount the unit and it includes coax cables should you need to extend the antennas. Batteries for both receivers are included as well. Also included is a manual for the system, however, it is very basic for getting the system up and running with very simple trouble-shooting steps.Our first trial run with the unit went smoothly. We installed the system at our rehearsal space and used it for a three hour rehearsal. During this time, we had no issues running the system. Though there is no auto-scan feature, we picked random unique channels for each and easily paired the units. Both band members reported being able to hear clearly.The ear buds were the only complaint during this first test. They are not noise isolating and so there is bleed through. Also as the members began to sweat, the buds began to slip out of their ears.We took the receivers on a field trip throughout the large building in that we rehearse and found we could go about 150ft through multiple indoor walls before the units lost connectivity. Outside the building, through concrete walls, we were able to get around 300ft before losing the signal.Our next test took place during a live performance in a small venue. This test implemented a much more realistic use of the unit as multiple wireless units were in play. During this test, in addition to the PTM-22, we used a PTM-11, PTM-10, and a PTU-71. Though the PTM-10 and PTU-71 work on a 500MHz band.

So far I have played and tested with this unit for 2 weeks. I primarily use IEM's for a wireless speaker setup while DJing events, but have used them for band members as well. I have not had the opportunity to use the PTM-22 yet for a gig, but I feel my bench testing was sufficient enough to know how they will work in the field. They are incredibly easy to setup and to me look great!I really enjoy these unit's IR syncing. I like being able to set my frequency on the unit and syncing the pack. The body pack's receivability is great! Through multiple walls, vehicles, bodies, other electrical equipment running, and in my pocket next to my cell phone I did not experience interference or drops outs until I was 65 yards away from the transmitter. The sound quality and volume remained intact while traveling around with the packs. Then setting up the packs with a use of a speaker the sound quality was crisp and clear with yet again absolutely no drop outs or cut ins. The transmitters ability to overcome outside interference is impressive. I have yet to experience interference or cut ins from noise.The body packs are incredibly light, and you can't even tell you are wearing one. I enjoy that the volume knob is the power on vs the PMR-1's having a power button and volume knob. It's just simple and less operations in my opinion. The only complaint that I have about the body packs is that their housing feels like it can easily break. I worry that bumping into something with low force may cause these to break. Opening the battery cover can be a bit nerve racking sometimes because I am afraid of slipping and busting it right off.One thing that I wish this unit had was an auto frequency finder like their PTU-7000 Microphones have. I absolutely love that feature. I absolutely hate noise in my system so for my IEM's I carry a portable frequency analyzer to find the best frequency with the least amount of noise.I typically run a dedicated line to these units without using the loop o.

Let me give you the lowdown on the Phenyx Pro PTM 22 wireless in-ear monitoring system. It's been a game-changer for me on the stage. The line of sight range is impressive,I have tested about 160 feet line of sight. I can roam around without worrying about losing signal. It sounds great when I put my in ears in.Setting it up was simple, it has a user-friendly LCD panel. Also it has lots of frequencies to choose from, finding the right one was easy I just selected a group and channel . This is perfect for both gigs and recording sessions and they throw in some nice extras like earbuds and batteries.But its not all perfect for me. There's a bit of background noise sometimes especially at low volumes. some parts could be sturdier like the bodypack and antennas. Still considering the price its okay.Overall, I'm impressed with the PTM-22. It's reliable, affordable, and I think it has earned a permanent spot in my setup. If you're after a solid wireless monitoring system without breaking the bank, this one's worth considering. This one is deff one of my favorites.

Works well, but you'll probably want to replace the earbuds. Very few signal drops. Can't beat it for the money.Cons: like I said above, the earbuds are not gonna make you happy.

Best wireless IEM system (under $500) from my testing.

Great ear monitor system! Clear as a bell and worked fantastic with a group setting. Unbelievable price for a quality system. Very happy with this purchase and looking forward to have this system incorporated to our PA system.

the head set could be of better quality

I used The Phenyx wireless in ear and I am not problem with them

It was great to be able to use the in ear monitors. It saves alot of floor space for our band and they work awesome.

I bought 2 of these systems. I had a problem with one of the recievers and they took care of it extremely quickly. They are quality units and are very easy to use.

Worked good. Watch the distance for the transmitter. More that 75ft gets challenging

These have been a very good purchase for my Gospel group. We are a trio and this unit allow me to have 2 separate feeds into the body packs so we can get different mixes to fit the desire of the singer. We did purchase a different earbud for our sue and the sound is incredible. So far the durability has been fine as we use them on a weekly basis and haven't had an issues breakage. Great product for the price point.

There is very good value for your money with this system! I wanted IEM for our band which gigs small venues and decided to go with the two channel system due to the mixer we were using. Initial impressions of the system are that the sound clarity is amazing! This system has exceeded my expectations and I have finally figured out how to dial in the perfect mix thanks to the excellent customer support by Phenyx Pro! My only cons is that it has a slight static depending on the channel you pick but it’s very doable to work through once the band starts playing it drowns out. My second and final con is the headphones it comes with suck. I would definitely recommend getting a good set of ears it makes the sound clarity night and day. I went with KZ 10’s on Phenyx pro. However in a pinch the headphones that come with the system would get you through! At least this system comes with some to get you started! All I can say is that this is exceptional value for the price you pay and the more I use them the more I really enjoy the purchase. For a guy in a band that needs affordable equipment this is the real deal! I think if you want an affordable wireless IEM system you have found it with Phenyx!

It works great to church and small stage. I have two system for 6 months and this let’s continue works great

They are good except for the headphones. Kind of cheap quality!

If you need wireless iems for something that is not of a super professional level like bar gigs, or any low key none professional event center gig, church worship bands, or something of the like... these units will work wonderfully for you! I installed them at my church and they were utilized for two services with no issues at all. They have a light radio fuzz that is really tolerable and possibly comparable to lower end sennheiser wireless iems (and I've used even cheaper units that aren't tolerable), they give plenty of clarity throughout the frequency spectrum, and they have not cut out at all during live performance. The frequency band they are on seems to be pretty decently uncommon so there has not been any interference either. I would especially consider these suitable for a group of musicians. Seriously worth the cost, and in my opinion way better than I expected! Definitely give them a shot! I've also used the Xvive wireless IEM system it is clearer, reliable, but not quite as strong of a signal and has cut out before due to interference!

Overall very happy with it! Decent sound, but works more than fine, at least for us (youth group in a mid sized church). Build quality feels plastic and not expensive, but for the price we didnt expect anything else. Really happy with them! Alot of IEM for the money!!

Performed well in my show…looking forward to getting the new 4 channel mono ones..

Nice features, very good sound, lots of headroom. I'm a little concerned about how the plastic body packs will hold up but, definitely worth the money IMO.
