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

[@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!

[@bobmeyer6851]

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!

[@masterpdj2623]

I'm glad they worked out, I'm keeping mines too.

[@MrMaui38]

Awesome!! Yea this autoscan feature to me outweighs the design issue. We'll see how they hold up!

[@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 😂

One thing I don't think you mentioned is the latency other than that thank you for the video.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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. 😊

[@MrMaui38]

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

[@turadiolatinamix]

That is how I was thinking on using them anyways, since my DJ controller has 2 mic inputs and if you put it in a table to play a set your mics are in the back of the controller, then you have your facade so line of sight is interrupted (not sure it wouldn't work but why risk it?) so I have 2 short xlr/xlr cables in the back of the controller and just put the receivers on higher for a better line of sight, great stuff! thanks! nice videos keep them coming! Hi from Utah

[@MrMaui38]

@@turadiolatinamix Thanks for watching! Yes that’s definitely a great way to get more signal and clearer line of sight regardless of the design issue on the units! I used it through a wall and it still worked so I think it would definitely work great through a facade but exactly why risk it when there’s a simple alternative for a more reliable connection!

[@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.

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.

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

[@MrMaui38]

@@DJWill_Silva 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 😂

Is it better than Xvive?

@@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!

[@trevorthompson5776]

Why you need the tabs why not break them

[@DJWill_Silva]

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

[@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!

[@BenGartland]

Here is my video review of Kimafun KM-U208A vs Phenyx Pro PTU-X, clearly showing a hiss from the PTU-X whilst the KM-U208 is silent. The Kimafun has been flawless, but the review you did showing the channel scan and longer battery life drew me in. I have 2 Kimafun sets and have used them in multiple venues as speaker relays and wireless mic adapters. Sadly the PTU-X hasnt lived up to the hype and mine has a -40 dB hiss as soon as I switch them on. Phenyx support are not bothered. Stick with the Kimafun devices. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHO9YXaomMaVptk

[@MrMaui38]

@@BenGartland Wow that’s a great in depth comparison and test!! I unfortunately had the same experience with the Phenyx team when I emailed about the design flaw. At the $80 price I got them at, I’ve kept them but if the Kimafun are that much better and not too much more, it’s better to spend that money towards a superior product like the Kimafun.
