Budget Friendly Wireless In-Ear System (Phenyx PTM-10)

[@WILLY.OGANDO]

Thanks for always bringing costs effective solutions.

I love this. “Low Cost” doesn’t always equal “Low Quality”!!! Thanks for sharing! 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for reviewing this unit! I got one for Christmas (2021) to use at church and I love it! Now, I've never got to try one of the high end units (Shure, Sennheiser), so I don't have anything to compare to except for a wired connection to my P16m. With the Phenyx, there is a bit of a noise floor, but once the music starts I don't notice it. I'll have tiny drop outs at times, but not enough to spend an extra $1000 to get rid of it. The main thing is, IT'S STEREO!!! That's the secret to a great IEM mix. I wanted to try one out for myself before I try to talk my church into getting a transmitter and several receivers for our singers. Really a great kit for the money.

Thanks for the review. Just tried one of these last night. Pro's: great to be able to walk around and not be tethered to the in ear mixer. Con's: The noise floor on this receiver (belt pack) is way higher than I ever figured it should be. There's a significant 'hissing' present and it definitely gets louder when you turn the volume up on the receiver. It's a major issue in my opinion. I watched at least a half dozen reviews on this unit before I bought it and NONE of the reviews mentioned this high noise floor. Maybe I got a bad unit?

[@RylandRussell]

I’d say that’s possible. My people never complain about that. Sorry, that’s a bummer.

[@oyobass]

Make sure you're feeding a fairly hot signal into the transmitter from the PA. More signal means better signal -to-noise ratio on the receiver end.

[@TheWozza01]

Thanks for the review... How has it been holding up after a while?

[@RylandRussell]

Still using them every week 👍

[@Palvader]

I'm thinking of getting some of these!

[@LivehouseSG]

Thanks Ryland for your video, possible to add on 4 to 5 body pack using the same system if needed?

[@vanisher16]

With two body packs can you pan the mixes to have two separate mono mixes?.. I know you can do that with other similar systems, but I can't see that it's an option with this one.

[@RylandRussell]

Yes you can. Each body pack would just need to be panned. It’s a great benefit that I forgot to mention!

[@ofulm]

Thanks for a very informative video that resulted in me buying this system. I have used them for quite a lot of gigs now, and I only have one issue: I am experiencing some dropouts (in the form of loud noise, the sound does not cut) occasionally when I touch the antenna on the body pack. Not a huge problem, but I would love to fix this. Any tips? Is it possible to upgrade the antenna only? Is it possible to buy a better body pack with two antennas or something?

[@RylandRussell]

Hmmm I haven’t experienced that one! I assume you’ve tried a new frequency?

[@ofulm]

@@RylandRussell I see! Yes I have, I have just assumed it has something to do with the antenna on the body pack, but I guess that’s not the issue then?

[@fabrihentscholek]

hi man! which one is better? this one or the Xvive u4?

[@RylandRussell]

I haven’t used the xvive. But if it’s 2.4 ghz then I would say this is better.

[@fabrihentscholek]

Thanks!

[@chrismellon9156]

Do you run any kind of antenna distro for these with multiple units or are you just using the built in antennas? Thanks Ryland.

[@RylandRussell]

We don’t on these. We place these on stage not far from the singers/musicians. We run antenna distro on all our microphones.

[@happylaura0]

I’m between this Phenyx vs Xtuga. What do you think is the better option?

[@RylandRussell]

Haven’t used xtuga. But we use our phenyx every week

[@tweezas5232]

Can you use a Phenyx wireless mike with these?

[@RylandRussell]

Like use the mic with this transmitter? No, a Microphone is a transmitter and the unit is also a transmitter. Could you use the two systems simultaneously? Yes!

[@goodbyetiktok2697]

THANK VERY MUCH

[@DaveHudson4375]

How does is sound in comparison to the Sennheiser?

[@RylandRussell]

Sennheiser is a more professional unit for sure. Sound….not that far off.

[@sundaystrummer]

@@RylandRussell I would also like to ask which Sennheiser system you have experience with and which you would suggest or in a small church needing 4 wireless units which would you purchase

[@fccymm]

Any suggestions for an inexpensive wireless mic system?

[@RylandRussell]

I haven't tried any super cheap ones. I thought about giving this one a go. amzn.to/3wNw9BK

[@zeppo20]

It is stereo?

[@RylandRussell]

Yes. Or can be mono if you want

[@zeppo20]

@@RylandRussell True stereo?

[@jonathanotrujillo]

my batteries (2500mah duracell) last only 4 hrs, not 10 as mentioned

[@RylandRussell]

🤷🏼‍♂️ our rechargeable batteries seem to do fine. Good to know.
