Phenyx Pro4-Channel Wireless Microphone System w/Auto Scan, 4x40 UHF Frequencies, 2 Handheld Dynamic Mics, 2 Bodypacks & Headsets/Lapel Microphones for Singing, DJ, Church (PTU-7000-2H2B)

I’m an active musician participating in 2 local area bands as well as an active sound engineer providing portable PA solutions for other local area bands, churches, and special events. I added the PTU-70004H (4 handheld mics) to my portable system almost 3 years ago after seeing a few youtube reviews. At the price, I felt comfortable taking a chance on a company I didn’t have any history with at the time. Because of that purchase, I have since converted all my wireless mics as well as in ear monitor solutions to Phenyx Pro products and I am very pleased with the value and performance they offer.I’m still using the original PTU-7000-4H system I purchased weekly and they have just continued to work flawlessly. Phenyx pro recently reached out and asked if I would be willing to review the 2 handheld and two body pack version of this system, the PTU-7000-2H-2B. I am pleased to say that this unit carries the same value and performance I’ve grown to expect from Phenyx Pro.Receiver:The 4 channel receiver is identical to my original PTU-7000-4H and performs just as well. This system offers 40 channels of wireless frequencies per mic channel as well as autoscan. I have been able to use this system in multiple venues from very small to very large without experiencing interference issues that couldn’t be resolved by simply scanning for a new channel group. Range is very good with a good line of sight to the antennas. I have had singers move more than 275 feet from the receiver without issue.Each channel has its own preamp volume control that does affect the sensitivity of the mic. Running this control too hot WILL make the mic much more sensitive and increase the handling noise of your handheld and headset mics. I have found that turning this dial to about ¼ up or 9 O'clock gives you a similar sensitivity to a wired dynamic mic. If you are running these mics into a sound console, I recommend you don’t turn these volume dials up above half way.Handheld mics:These mics sound great. The capsule is slightly darker sounding than your typical sm58 but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Very easy to dial in the sound you like with eq settings and there is nothing out of the ordinary in the way these capsules reproduce sound. Handling noise is on par with other wireless units including the Shure DLX series I directly compared them to. Handling noise is dependent on the preamp volume knobs on the receiver. Users that note above average handling noise are likely running these volumes wide open.Body packs:They are plastic in construction but well made. The plastic is not fragile or thin and does not feel or look cheap. The round molded edges make the packs look like higher end units. They are comfortable to wear and controls are easy to use. The belt packs are the weak point which is a simple single wire bent to shape and held in by two indentions in the plastic body pack. These can be prone to damage if snagged but a little bit of care and they work perfectly fine.Lapel / Headset mics:These are constructed well and above average in sound. I’m not a fan of lapel mics but these do just as good a job picking up speech as any other lapel mic I’ve ever used. The headset mics are much better because of their proximity to the source of the sound. I wouldn’t hesitate to use these in any production situation.Battery life:I use Panasonic Enloop Ni-MH rechargeable AA batteries. I typically leave the units on an mute at my sound console throughout a show. Most of my shows are 3-5 hours and I do not have to change batteries during the show. I haven’t pushed them beyond a typical show and rechargeable batteries typically don’t last as long as good disposable batteries, but I have no doubt I can run these mics for 7+ hours without a battery change.Overall, I don’t believe there’s currently a better constructed and performing 4 mic system in this price range on the market. Phenyx Pro just continues to provide products performing well above their price tag. If you’re in the market for a mic system for your band, venue, church, etc., I highly recommend you put the PTU-7000 series on your short list.

First, let me say if you're looking for a great mic system - this is it! The Phenyx Pro Quad Wireless Microphone System can handle your needs. I have over 40 years experience working with audio in church settings, school concerts, big band performances, and even in studio use - and this system is one of the best I've used for live performance! The receiver is solid - well made, ready to rack mount! Controls are easy to access and simple to use (you should read the easy to read owners manual). The handheld mics are solid with metal cases (not cheap plastic like some others) and feel great in the hand! The power switch works well and does not accidentally get "turned off". The sound quality of these mics compares with the big names (which I have used). The ability to use multiple systems with frequency scanning is great for future expansion if needed! Then there's the headsets - great flexibility! They are comfortable to wear and also produce a great sound! The can be used for a speaker (such as a church pastor), but also can be used as a vocal mic for a musician that sings (such as a guitar player - which is how I used it). I can honestly say I've used mics costing much more, but the Phenyx sounds just as good! My biggest complaint is I wish they offered an option of 1 headset with 3 handhelds - this would be perfect for many smaller churches (headset for the pastor and handhelds for the worship team)! Buy this system - you won't regret it!

The media could not be loaded. I was fortunate enough to receive the PTU 7000 2H 2B (2 handhelds 2 body packs) to test.I already had a PTU 7000 4B (4 body packs).It’s almost like Phenyx pro knew I was in the market for a second unit. The only difference between the 2 is the Mic options. This is a review of both units.First impressions:I got to experience both the older packaging and the newer packaging. The newer packaging is definitely more slim and compact which is nice.Everything is packed neatly and you get batteries too. Handheld mics and receiver have a very nice solid feel to them. I imagine the handhelds can take a beating. The body packs however are pure plastic and feel light even with batteries in. The wires for the lapel mics feel a bit thin.Setup:Setup is a breeze. The autoscan feature is awesome. The IR sync works like a charm.The hardest part is installing the antennas.Functionality:We have a mobile setup. We play all types of venues at all sizes.The quality of the sound and signal is way better than I expected. There have been a few instances where a channel will crackle a little due to interference. I usually catch this during a quick sound check and a channel autoscan solves it. I wish there was an easier way to tell which channel has the interference but we make do. Overall the system has performed great in live settings. Attached is a clip of a song we recently rehearsed. All instruments were recorded with lapel mics and voice with the handheld. Total 7 mics. Recording came straight from the mixer. Sound quality is very crisp and clear.Quality and Customer Service:The first unit I bought had a bad receiver.Shortly after that 2 lapel mics died. It was unfortunate BUT Phenyx Pro really shined in their customer service. Within a day of reporting the issues, they sent me replacements. Everything arrived quickly and I haven’t had any more issues with any of the gear.We’ve dropped a body pack here and there and even though they’re plastic, they’re still going strong. Handheld mics have an all metal shell, surprisingly we haven’t dropped any of them but I’m sure they could handle it.For their customer service I gave them 5 stars.
