PAS-225X | Antenna Distribution System Bundle for UHF Wireless Mic Systems

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!We’ve been using the Phenyx Audio PTU 7000 for years and were occasionally getting drop outs.This product eliminated drops outs immediately. Construction is good. It comes with an awesome case. And set up was a breeze!Love Phenyx Pro Audio!

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.

We use wireless mics, IEMs and guitar systems in my band Dirt Road to Nowhere. Our antennas were always concerning and looking at other distribution systems and the price was scary. However; Phenyx did it right here. They made a high quality product at an affordable price! Heck I think every band should have two of these!!!

The PAS-225 is an amazing additional piece when it comes to extending your signal for your other Phenyx Pro Wireless Mic Systems. I used it on several of the systems that I have and it worked like a charm. The range that it adds and the clarity is phenomenon. I am beyond pleased with this product. If you're thinking about getting something that will boast your signal in a major way, the PAS-225 is it. Thanks, Phenyx Pro for making a great product!!!

This is a perfect addition to my mic setup, however my PTU-7000 kits use TNC connectors and this unit is BNC only so would be nice to include adapters in the kit for those of us that have older 7000 units. Also the Paddles use 3/8 threads so would have been nice to know so I dont need a 5/8s to 3/8s adapter for my mic stands.

Once we did the adjustments the range and response was great.

I have installed a couple of these now with very good success. They are inexpensive and work well for what they are doing.

so far so good, will put it to the test in couple weeks. I have many PP stuff with no issues this stuff is well built..get ya some..!!!!!!!!!!!!

fast delivery and always high quality equipment for a fraction of the prive

Wow. . . The stock Phenyx Pro PDU-7000 receiver unit wasn't in the greatest location, but I didn't expect the 225X to make this much difference! I went from having dropouts at the mid to back section of the room, to going out of the back of the room, down a 20 fr. hall into the far corner of that room - that's at least 100' away through at least 4 walls! I also went out the back of the main room leaving the doors open to foyer, then one of the main exit double doors open, out about 500 fr. and still working! I didn't even look at antenna gain let alone adjust it! Night and day difference. Highly recommend and I never write reviews. I still have to test with a room full of people - will do that tomorrow!

As a performing musician who runs multiple wireless mics and in-ear systems, the Phenyx Pro PAS-225X has been a total game changer for my live setup! This unit delivers rock-solid signal distribution, clean reception, and zero dropouts—even in crowded RF environments. The active directional antennas make a huge difference, pulling in a strong, stable signal from across the stage with no interference or noise.Setup was a breeze. The rackmount unit feels solid and professional, with clear labeling and quality connectors. I love that it includes all the accessories you need—BNC cables, power supply, and antennas—so you’re ready to go right out of the box. The build quality is excellent, and the signal amplification is consistent and transparent, maintaining full frequency clarity across all channels.During live shows, I noticed zero lag and crystal-clear transmission for both vocals and instruments. It really tightened up my rig and cleaned up my wireless setup, reducing clutter while improving reliability.The Phenyx Pro PAS-225X performs like gear twice its price—dependable, clean, and perfect for musicians, DJs, and sound engineers who want a pro-level wireless system that just works.

Worked out of the box for me - I actually ran two mics simultaneous and none of them had drop outs (used for a CrossFit event about 50 - 150’ away)

Excelente producto muy buena calidad

I was having some very irritating problem with interference to the wireless mics in our church. I've changed frequencies more times than I can count, but still kept having problems. This distribution system has helped a great deal. We have now gone three weeks without a single glitch. Other companies sell a similar product (for quite a lot more money), but I thought I'd take a chance with this. I'd used some of their wireless mics in another project and was pleasantly surprised at how well. they worked, and how well they were built. This has turned out to be a great investment. Some other reviews say the mounting hardware for the antennas is flimsy. Maybe so, and that might be a problem if you were setting them up and tearing them down every day, but this is a fixed installation and they are fine. It comes with all the cables you need to hook up five diversity microphones, which made setting it up very easy. Our mics are now clear of annoying noises and drop outs. Just what I was looking for.

We've had ours for about a year, and it's performed well. Ours is in a mobile rack unit and has been exposed to all seasons of weather, from below freezing to significant heat. So far no issues to speak of. Given the price you are paying, it's hard to argue with what Phenyx Pro is offering here. With that being said, there are three things I wish they would do for either a revision or future model.1. For those that use these outdoors (like us), the antennas can get blown around quite a bit by wind. Many other manufacturers specifically make their antennas with cutouts to reduce the chance that the paddles turn into sails.2. A power switch is, in my opinion, unnecessary on a unit like this and should be removed. All it does is increase the chance that the unit gets accidentally turned off. They should take a cue from Shure and just make the unit be on as long as it has mains power.3. I love that the AC input is threaded for a locking connector. What I don't love is that it doesn't actually come with a locking AC adapter. Just include a locking power adapter. Again, for those of us that use these in mobile racks, it's an absolute must.

Works perfect with the microphone set I purchased.

Excellent

These have been working well for my band. It's extended the range and reliability of our wireless mics. The cables attaching the fins to the rack unit are cheap and break very easily.You can either be very careful or just replace those cables.The case to protect the fins is pretty decent. Fine for a trailer, maybe not for a flight.To sum up, not an amazing unit, but it IS amazing at this price point.

Awesome

Great product. I like that it can be used as a power distribution as well. I have two units to run 16 mics in total. The cascading function works great. No dropouts and easy to set up.

Works flawlessly. No drop outs since we using this unit.

There is significant value to this antenna distribution system as compared to Shure which is about 5 times as much. The rack itself is compact half depth. Ability to bridge another unit to it is great which is what we had to do. Was able to link another brand of antenna distribution to it without any problems. Really solved our issues with wireless microphone interference in the theater.
