Has the Phenyx Pro PTU X Made Up for the L?? - Auto Scan, Range Test and Adapter Update!!

[@DJ-Coma]

Thank you for the follow up! Great info here, I think I will have to try these out for something non critical like a full speaker. One suggestion for future videos: Record from the mix/line out of the speaker when doing a test like you did to see how it sounds when cutting out. That way we don’t hear anything else but exactly what is coming out of the speaker. Just an improvement for next time. Thanks again, very useful info 🙏

[@MrMaui38]

@@DJ-Coma thanks man! Definitely worth trying out with these features built in and if you buy on Amazon, can always send them back too. That’s a great idea man thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately my model of the LD Maui 5 is an older one and doesn’t have a mix out, but that’s a good reason to use one of my other speakers for the test in the future!

[@ojloera3306]

I’m getting a pair. Seams like the best solution

[@MrMaui38]

@@ojloera3306 Thanks for watching! Yea man get them on Amazon, try em out at some events and send them back if they don’t work out! It’s definitely worth trying with that auto scan feature built in!

I just received a set this week and I'm really impressed with the sound quality. Distance doesn't concern me as I use them for my mic. My main complaint would be noise/hiss .. these have none! I've tried and sent back a few in this price range because of that. I plug into a mixer so there is no concern with the receiver design. If I were using them to connect to speakers, I'd just buy a pair of 3" XLR extensions to make the connection, less than $8 on Amazon.

[@MrMaui38]

@@bobmeyer6851 Thanks for watching! I completely agree with all the above and I’ve had the same experience with them so far!

[@DJ_V_squared]

3:52 I use the Xvives and use the cable for better line of sight by using a command strip and sticking it behind the column speaker.

[@MrMaui38]

Thanks for watching! That’s great to know that even without a design issue, you use the cable anyways for better signal. Seems like doing that is the best move and it negates the design flaw too!

[@lasrocasent]

Nice update on this bro and glad to hear that it actually does have an auto scan. Although it looks to be a bit tricky to sync them still a nice feature implemented on a budget friendly item.

[@MrMaui38]

@@lasrocasent thanks broo!! Exactly even with those flaws, auto scan and low price makes it a real good option now for sure vs the competition. If it was xvive pricing I don’t think I could, but at its price I may end up keeping them!

[@lasrocasent]

@@MrMaui38 Using the adapter definitely adds a plus as the line of site gets better and we can avoid cuts. I might just get an extender for my xvive. I don't really need it but it's better to have and not need it then need it and not have it.

[@MrMaui38]

@@lasrocasent true dude that exactly what someone else commented that they use the cable for their xvive anyways for the extra range! So I guess Phenyx pro is smart they forcing you to use it and so you get extra range for free haha 😂

[@DJ2Legit007]

I did know about the auto scan feature even before I watched your last video because I saw another KZbinr discussing it on his channel. I also had thought about using it with an XLR cable to get around the design flaw. Yep, there are always workarounds for sure. 🙂

[@MrMaui38]

@@DJ2Legit007 there always are! I didn’t want to be forced to use a cable, since so many other of the competitors didn’t need one, but now with auto scan that really makes this one the only of its kind at this price (for now)! The review you saw was probably the same one I saw - Scott Uhls review which is where the only place I think it was mentioned! So also shoutout to his review who mentioned the auto scan first! I still can’t believe Phenyx Pro hadn’t mentioned it anywhere, but either way I’m glad they added the feature cuz it’s huge! They’re already sold out and now will probably sell out again 😂

[@DJ2Legit007]

​@MrMaui38 Yep, that's the one I had watched first before yours. 😊

@@DJ2Legit007 ahah yupp, dude I’m looking forward to seeing your video dropping soon!! I saw the notification on my feed

[@Baxter2005]

Also to get a better Better reception you would want to velcrow it high up

[@MrMaui38]

@@Baxter2005 yes 100%!! And using the cable to overcome the design also allows you to move the receiver around, so it’s kind of a blessing in disguise! I guess Phenyx pro made that design to force us to use the cable and get better signal 😂

[@James.KingHTX]

Man I already have the Seinheiser versions that run off 2.4GHZ, the Xvive versions that run off UHF...and now you got me wanting these that scan!!!!! LOL!!! Exactly why I started a KZbin channel as well! I love all the things I learn even from the haters ha ha!!!!

[@MrMaui38]

@@James.KingHTX LOL dude that always happens to me too 😭 something new comes out and we want it! I’ve been holding off for the wireless XLR but I think I’ll keep these for now…until the next thing comes along 😂 and yes man there’s always something to learn, even from the haters!! Just smile and wave 👋

[@varok011]

Oh my God, and the last video I couldn’t see the tabs you were referring to. I see them now, why not just cut them off? Such a simple fix.

[@MrMaui38]

@@varok011 Thanks for watching both videos! I don’t have the tools at home or a dremel but if I did I would just cut them off! Using a cable also does help a bit with the signal, since I can orient the receiver more towards the transmitter, so I may just do that anyways going forward.

[@djdannybhtx]

Bad ass bro!!! I wonder why they didn't put an antenna on it like the Kimafun ones? hmmmmm

[@MrMaui38]

@@djdannybhtx Thank you for watching bro!! That auto scan feature is a beast at this price. And I hadn’t heard of the Kimafun ones but I looked them up and they look dope!! Also on sale for Black Friday right now!!

I will see if there’s a Tuesday one of these days that works for both me and pretty boy! Maybe we can call it a Start to Spin and DJ Round Table collab. Thanks for the invite!

[@DJG.Music_]

appreciate the shout-out bro! Now knowing these have a scan feature has defo changed the game. If it were me, I’d cut those tabs off with a dremel and you’re good to go!

[@MrMaui38]

@ ya bro that’s a great option too! If I had a dremel or small saw at home I’d prolly do haha. Auto scan is def a game changing feature for a budget device like this.

[@360MIX]

The reason these work well is because you are in your house and there are no other frequencies interfering with the selected frequency ... In my experience (here is busy south florida) when you try it with a room full of people like a ceremony and or party you will get interference... I don't recommend the PTU-X... when they do have signal loss there are large noise that comes out of the speaker.. This has happened in 3 locations and gave up... I used the Xvive and they had no issues with reception i the same room.... spend the money and get a better unit... these UHF units are not true diversity and they lose signal and the noise is embarrassing.

[@MrMaui38]

@@360MIX Thanks for watching! That’s interesting that the XVive had no issues even without the auto scan feature! I don’t have any others to compare. I’m gonna pass the return window soon - I’m gonna have to make a decision on whether I’m keeping them or not ASAP!

[@yendorthetrickster]

Is it better than Xvive?

[@MrMaui38]

@@yendorthetrickster Thanks for watching! Unfortunately I never had the xvive so can’t compare, but on paper based on the features this one should be better!

[@Baxter2005]

Maybe to sync them, you put them sideways

[@MrMaui38]

thanks for watching! I was trying it sideways in the first video, but didn’t have much more success. The review by Scott Uhl had mentioned holding them diagonally like I did in this video, but I think the key is to hold up the receiver (the blinking one when syncing) over the transmitter, because that worked well

[@huallacanes100]

Their costumer service sucks! They couldn’t answer my question. So I returned the item.

[@MrMaui38]

@@huallacanes100 Thanks for watching! Yea same here I was seriously disappointed when they didn’t offer a solution. This product is solid though so I may just keep it, and I’ve had a good experience with the mics I have from them too!
