Play Video Update: I’ve given these mics a few more tries. Worked flawlessly during two events and I just tested with a new method and was blown away with the results. The video shows a girl using the mic 65’ from the receiver and walking slightly further, and it worked this well for over 15 minutes. Not a single noticeable dropout. The photo is a little rig I cooked up, I have a 12v lithium battery for the receiver and a wired in ear monitor belt pack which also runs on battery. I put some TV on my phone and sat the mic on the phone’s speaker and walked away with this rig (basically a reverse of how a sane person would test the mic) listening to what the receiver was outputting on the fly. I was able to walk over a 100’ without any dropouts, and 225’ with a few drop outs here and there when in motion. Then I walked around a building 25’ over and though there were a few dropouts, it was mostly clear! That’s +225’ not line of sight and it still had signal. I switched to the lav bodypack and had similar results, though I lost the signal completely about half the way around the building. The lav does suffer from fluttering so it’s going to be useless outdoors, but functions decently. I’ve increased the rating to 5 stars because it’s an incredible value. I guess the first time I used it, I ran into some bad luck as you can keep reading below for my first impression. I’m still going to keep these as backup, but I will not be as worried now that I’ve had some success with them. ————————— Original 4 star review: Tried it out last night at a wedding as a DJ. Worked great at the booth for announcements. I wasn’t going to use it on stage but the timeline had to shift because things fell behind which left me no leeway to lay cable for a speech segment 30 feet away. It was used side by side with a Sennheiser EW 100 G1 handheld (9v battery kind) and the Phenyx Pro suffered interference and dropouts a few times intermittently. The receiver was 3’ 6” off the ground to start with and there was almost direct line of sight with the only thing blocking was the grooms hand on the bottom of the mic, maybe the brides body and the wood in my facade. The speaker stand pole was also near by and I had the receiver stacked on top of the Sennheiser receiver. I raised the receiver to 4’ and sat it on a corner of the facade and faced the antenna perpendicular to the direction of the mic which improved the signal but it was still suffering a little bit of drop outs on the indicator, almost not noticeable. Mind you, the sennheiser didn’t have any issues with this situation the entire time and the squelch setting was on high. We were outdoors on a church lawn, with nothing but parking lot around us. I’m not sure if it was bad luck but this is a pretty typical distance and environment you can expect to use a wireless mic. It might be okay for a small karaoke or cafe singer songwriter performance setup, where you’re never more than 15’ from the receiver, but it’s not ready for prime time. Other than that, the build quality is impressive and doesn’t feel cheap. I also bought the body pack for the lavalier mic and that’s all plastic and feels pretty cheap, so fair warning on that. The scanning and syncing works well so ease of use gets high marks. Sound quality is fine, the handling noise is definitely higher than the Sennheiser, but about what’s expected from a mic at this price. The deal breaker for me is the unreliability at a real world distance and it should not be breaking a sweat at 30-35 feet. I’ll keep this around as a last resort, and I’m curious about Phenyx Pro’s true diversity handheld.

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 gain it up way beyond comfort levels noise floor is right around 22db. It is imperceptible on my podcasts I have recorded with it and it is a non issue when recording vocals. I tested these mics using an Allen & Heath CQ20-B mixing console interfaced to PreSonus Studio One Pro, Adobe Audition, Avid ProTools, and Steinberg Cubase. The gain for the Preamp on the A&H seemed to really like the mics right around the 32-37db of gain mark. The ease of use is what makes this mic a winner for 90% of purchasers- if you are a up and coming professional singer this mic could work in your road gear if spending more than 8x is. Or an option. The design is very similar to offerings from Shure and Seinhauser so it is comfortable in hand. Mounting capable in a 1u rack it is a half rack size.

I have been researching phenyx Pro models for sum time. I finally bought the PTU PRO this week. I used it this past weekend. It was easy to setup and to scan for a good frequency and connecting to the mics. The sound was nice and clear. The microphones feel really good in the hands. Got a compliment from one of the singers that they really like the microphone. The only problem that I have with the system is that it doesn’t show battery level on the receiver. The system has metal construction. To me a great buy for the money…

Excelente micrófono se escucha muy bien una muy buena calidad, y un precio muy económico en comparación con otros de más precio y menor calidad, gracias el pedido llegó muy pronto estamos 100% satisfechos y pediremos otros micrófonos iguales porque estamos contentos con ellos 👍👍👍

Parfait

Gratamente sorprendido. Superó todas mis expectativas. La calidad de los materiales es muy buena y la del sonido también. Sin interferencias ni ruidos. El alcance más que suficiente para cualquier situación. El receptor dentro del local y con los micrófonos en la calle a más de 80 metros y siguió escuchándose como si estuvieran a pocos metros de distancia. Una buena compra. Muy contento

Comprato questa coppia di microfoni per sostituire l'acquisto di un altro prodotto di un'altra marca che era difettoso. Questo set tiene molto bene la connessione anche in presenza di ostacoli (testato a 30 metri in presenza di muri abbastanza spessi). La qualità audio è buona (è stata anche opportunamente equalizzata per migliorare l'effetto nella sala dove viene utilizzato). Di utilizzo semplice, ottima qualità di costruzione. Anche al tatto sembra un microfono di alta qualità.
