Hey guys, here's the link for that Easter giveaway that Phenyx Pro is doing: sweepwidget.com/c/68641-isbj9kwf Be sure to enter before April 10, 2023 in order to be entered to win one of the prizes. Best of luck everyone! Thanks for watching.
This is great! The fact that you have and do use this equipment is very reassuring for us when considering purchasing affordable equipment.
Yeah it worked really well, and it sounds surprisingly great!
Incredible information, love your affordable gear reviews. Thx for all that u do.
Thanks Ric! 🤘
Thanks the informative video. I was setting up a couple 7000's yesterday and I couldn't get some of the mics to work and I had forgotten to bring the instruction manual. After watching your video I can see what I was doing wrong.
Thanks Scott. Looks good
Thanks Paul! 🤘
Great video as always. I do have the pt10 in ear monitor and the ptu7000 the one with 4 mics and sound amazing. Although one of the mics does not want to connect to the unit. I have to check that out but other than that i love phenyx pro quality 😊
Hmm that’s interesting… could be an IR port possibly. But I do agree, it’s a pretty killer deal for this and they sound great!
I bought the PTU-71 unit about a month ago (it’s the half rack unit of this one). Myself and my vocalist were incredibly impressed with the tonal quality of the capsule for one thing (he was able to dial in his EQ relatively similar to his regular wired vocal mic for near-similar tonal characteristic). Another thing is the scanning feature. This was a huge plus to me. One thing to mention. We used this unit recently at an event for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Generally it’s an insanely congested RF environment especially being right next to the stadium and the arena. Not to mention Houston already being very RF congested as is. We used these mics and had ZERO DROPOUT whatsoever. It sounded crisp and clear. I have it mounted in the rack with the available center mount rack ears (which are horrible btw-they don’t fit correctly in the width of the rack) and the antenna mounted on the front. Anyway, I would not hesitate to use this system literally anywhere now bc of the performance it gave us at the rodeo.
Nice!! Glad you tested it in a heavy RF environment too. That’s great to hear! And yeah, this system really is an incredible system, especially for the price!
Love my ptu-71. Purchased on Scott’s recommendation 😊
I made it work with guitars!!!
Thing is… Just make a custom miniXLR P10 ts cable and wire the mini XLR to 1 - GROUND and 3 - TIP
Voila
None of the other brands wire them the same sadly so I had to wire with a technician
Looks like a cool little set up….killer
Yeah it’s a pretty sweet deal!
Good info! Thanks!
Thanks Zach 🤘
Thx for the review Scott
Thanks for watching! 🤘
Great review thanks 👍
Hey just a little tidbit about using different mics with this system. i needed a smaller earset mic, and learned a few things in the trial and error process of getting one that worked. The Shure style mics with the 4 pin connectors work. i tried a Samson 3 pin that didn't work. Did some googling and found different pin wiring among the different manufacturers. (the shure style mic i use has 4 pins but the center pin is unused. So there is an extra female pin hole but it works with the 3 pin phenyx bodypack. ymmv. Thanks scott, love your reviews. I've purchased several items of gear based on your recommendations.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it!!
Hey man nice comment
I bought this system to use with my guitars live but I couldn’t make it work at all with either 3 and 4 pin cables!
Can you please tell me the way your cable that works with this unit is wired? Like pin 1 tip 2 sleeve and so on… I don’t know much about this part but it would REALLY help! Thanks
I really need to make this unit work with a p10 TS cable on guitars and bass live so…
Good video!
Thanks! 🤘
Great review Scott.
Is it possible to set up for a guitarist and a bassist in a band where they both doing backing vocal? Like 1 wireless mic for the guitarist + the body pack for his guitar signal and 1 wireless for the bassist + the body pack for his bass signal?
Yup, just get the Shure cable I mention in the video to use the body pack with guitar and bass 👍
So I've been eyeing this system for a while, and maybe you can help me get over my issue... I do sound for a youth theater program. It's a theater group that's grouped with about a dozen other youth theater programs in the Chicago area, and we have been able to pool our resources together for some really great equipment for our shows. For our shows we have Shure ULX bodypacks, and with Countryman B3 lavs. I would never try to replace those with these, BUT... We also have classes locally every week, and at the end of each set of classes we do a showcase so the kids can show their parents what they've learned. The mics we have available there are HORRIBLE. Well, maybe the mics aren't horrible, just not good for our use - SM58's with the gain cranked to be used like a choir mic, so it's feeding back all the time. I keep thinking that three of these sets would be really great. I purchased the PTU-71 (I believe it's the exact same system with only 2 units instead of 4) with the two handsets a couple of years ago. I really like the mics, and have never had any issue with them cutting out. But the placement of the mute button is ATROCIOUS! It's exactly where so many people hold their hand. On the Shure mics I use, I can powerlock them so nobody can accidentally shut them off, but these get shut off unknowingly by people all the time. From the look of it, the bodypack has a similar mute button. I can possibly see the benefit of such a button if I were doing my own sound for my own show, but when I'm handing it off to people who have no idea how to actually use a microphone (and let's be honest, that's most people), it becomes more of an issue... So have you had issues with the bodypacks being muted? I mean, if you're giving it to someone to wear during a wedding ceremony, you're not exactly able to just go up and fix it for them.
Yeah unfortunately people can bump a mute switch which can be frustrating with these types of systems :/ especially if someone doesn’t know how to use them
Regarding when you connected your guitar into the wireless body pack, using 1/4" to into XLR...
Was the receiver then connected directly into a mixer input? Thank you!
Yup 👍
Anyone know if the handhelds have interchangeable capsules? Example being if I wanted to change it for a Shure Beta87 capsule?
You wouldn’t be able to do that with this system
I have two of these - the bodypacks leave a little to be desired but the handhelds are damn near pro quality as long as you are aware of their limitations.
I was definitely impressed with the headset mic quality! But yeah those handhelds are top notch especially!
@@ScottUhlMusic I work in musical theatre and comparing these bodypacks to Shure or Sennheiser is unfair, I know (a tenth of the price). I just wish the distance between these bodypacks and the Shure BLX were a little closer quality-wise. The handhelds are arguably BETTER than the BLX line, if you ignore the capsule differences!
Definitely wouldn’t compare these to Shure or sennheiser, you do get more with those. But still, these PTU are great wireless, especially for the price!
Curious what issue you have with the body packs? I’ve used the handhelds more live.
@@ScottUhlMusic The primary thing I've noticed is that the bodypacks have a lot more noise than the handhelds do. I haven't yet figured out if this is due to RF interference (this isn't a diversity system, after all), low-quality preamps, or a design issue like a grounding/shielding problem. There's 0 metal in the bodypacks compared to the all-metal construction of the handhelds, which is why I lean toward grounding/interference. The mic pre these bodypacks have likely can't be that good at this price. The load impedance must be pretty small (compared to Shure or Sennheiser), so buying a better lav is risky if its gonna be pushing 2k ohms. Of course, this really only affects dead silent moments (theatre) and likely isn't an issue for an already-high noise floor like a concert venue/bar/etc.
Hey Scott, Have you ever heard of LD systems? They make wireless mic's, instruments and IEM's aswell and fall into the same price range as all the Phenyx Pro gear. LD systems is availible in Europe and Phenyx is availible in USA. Could you make a compare video(s) between both brands to check if they are the same but the only difference is you can get them in different continents? Thanks as always to make musicians realize what equipment to invest in.
Thanks! I have heard of them, but just their PA system tbh. I believe I’ll be reviewing one of their portable speaker systems, but I’ll have to check out the IEM systems as well 🤘
When you use your guitare, do you connect it to an amp? And how?
I use this guitar which has all the amp modeling built into the guitar: This Guitar is a Multi-FX Processor with Amps/Pedals/Cabs IN THE GUITAR! 😱 GTRS demo
ruclips.net/video/Ausw3WiCEtg/видео.html
It’s pretty wild. But if you have to go into a pedalboard or something like that, it might not make the most sense to use something like this for guitar
How are the plosives and handling noise? Interested in a system like this for guest speakers at conferences etc.
Plosives are good, especially compared to that other one I reviewed. There is a tiny bit of handling noise, which does happen with cheap stuff. But it still sounds great for sure!
Hey Scott thx for the video! I just purchased this unit. I plan on using two body pacs for my two guitars. Should I run each pac on a different channel or can I use one channel out to my amp and pair both PACs to the same channel? Thx🤘
As long as the transmitters are not on at the exact same time you should be good with setting them to the same channel 👍
Cool thx!!
Good morning I just saved 70 bucks with your link !!!!!!!!!!!!! Great videos… new subscriber Happy Holidays!!!!!
Awesome! Thank you! Enjoy 🤘🤘
Will those run in stereo….like I could run the electric drums to a stereo channel on the board I have?
You would need to use both body packs in order to get stereo.
Hey Scott thanks for the great review as always! I'm interested in the guitar cable connector but had a question -- it looks like the link you posted is for a 4 pin mini connector, but on the Phenyx website it looks like the Phenyx body pack takes a 3 pin mini connector? Could you confirm which one it needs and if the 4 pin does in fact work for the Phenyx?
I believe it takes a 3 pin cable actually if I remember correctly
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks! Good to know
@@MrMaui38 Hey there! Could you get it to work using the 3pin or 4pin cable? I just cant for god sake make it work with my guitar regardless of cable
@@IagoVital hey sorry but I haven’t seen a compatible cable online so never got to try it myself! Sorry couldn’t be of more help
@@MrMaui38 so frustrating i bought this exact system because of this video but i still cant get it to work like he did here with any of my 9 guitars live which was the exact main purpose i bought it for smh
Hi there, Scott!
I’ve bought this unit after watching your review on this video… But I am having an issue with the equipment:
I can’t - at all - make it work with my guitars: I’ve tried the T4F/P10 cable (didn’t work) and also tried the T3F/P10 (also didn’t work) and I just CANT for the love of god MAKE IT WORK with any instruments…
It only works with the included Britney headsets and the microphone, but not at all with my guitars (which is what I bought it for after watching your video)
The unit detects the bodypack’s antenna turned on but it doesn’t receive any signal at all which is pretty frustrating
Am I doing something wrong? Are there any tricks for making it work with a guitar? Thanks
Did you use the connector that I mentioned in the video? It worked well with mine
@@ScottUhlMusicYeah, the same one. No signal at all though…
I World like to have your honest opinion, can you compare the audio quality with a sm58?
Sm58 is going to be better, but this one is still great and very useable
Do you think I could rack up 4 of theses units to give me 16 mics for a dinner theatre? Would probably only be used once or twice a year.
That’s too much “cheap” wireless. Watch this video to find out more: Choosing the Right WIRELESS SYSTEM - A Comprehensive Guide
ruclips.net/video/Xi2JcMomjQ0/видео.html
Lets say I purchase the 4 mics unit, and the wireless IEM system with 4 receivers... would I have RF interference or problems? What do you think?
I would watch this video where I mention having a lot of wireless all at once: ruclips.net/video/Xi2JcMomjQ0/видео.htmlsi=wE0EAtCi-C3wY-py
If I buy an additional PTU-7000 handheld mic only, would I be able to use 3 handhelds and 1 bodypack going to the same receiver?
You can use any combo of mics and body packs. 4 mics, 4 body packs, or mic and match (like 3 mics and 1 body pack)
@@ScottUhlMusic Thank you so much! I love your videos. I can tell you put so much effort into it. You're honestly the best reviewer on RUclips that I have seen (and I've seen a lot).
Cool, do they have a IEM system integrated like this one?
They have a double mono IEM system in 1U of rack space. The PTM 22 I believe is what it’s called. I know at one point they were working on a 4 in 1U IEM system. That would be a game changer for sure
@@ScottUhlMusic yep, that would be great!
I currently have three Carvin IEMS (Planning on getting a Phenyx 900 mhz with two packs to round out the system) and we have one wireless unit, but are looking into the above one. I already got one of the phenyx rack plates, so I have five antennas for it. Can I put the three IEM antennas next to each other, then put the wireless mic system(also Carvin AUdio) On the far side? So antennas would look like X X X 0 0 x x so iem, iem, iem, Space space, Wireless Mic 1, Same wireless mic 2?
You are starting to get a lot of wireless all in one rack. That’s usually not a great idea, as I go over in this video: ruclips.net/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/видео.html
4 or more is pushing it. However, you can separate them by spacing them out on stage so they aren’t all together. Or you can look at antenna combining and/or distribution.
@@ScottUhlMusic If i put say the iems on the front of the rack, and antennas for the two wireless recievers (Guitar and Vox) on the back of the rack would that be enough separation?
Usually they recommend 6 feet of separation between wireless. But you might be okay with 5. If you start to get dropouts you’ll know why 👍
How good is the tone quality for the bodypack when it's connected to a guitar compared to the Shure GLXD16+?
I’m not an A/B comparisons guy really. To be, they both sound great 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic Thank You!
@@ScottUhlMusic I was also asking because I am a bit skeptical on the reliability of the bodypacks being used as a guitar system since that's not what it was created to do and I can't find anyone else on the internet that has tried using it as a guitar system. Have you used it as a guitar system for gigs or a long period of time? Is it reliable?
I know another comment said they had issues getting it to work with guitar. Or at least finding the cable. I did not use this extensively with guitar, so I honestly don’t know.
No dropouts with guitar?
Dropouts can happen for soooooooo many reasons. Bad antenna placement, bad frequency selection, too many wireless together, too long of a distance, etc.
But using best practices I did not get dropouts with this system 👍
I wasted my money on such a Phenyx Pro system and it cost me gigs. I’m telling my professional peers to avoid this brand.
I disagree completely, and I’ve used this a lot, and have a lot of other positive comments on it. I stand by my videos on PP products and still highly recommend them for a good budget friendly system
