Phenyx Pro PTU-2U Dual Wireless Microphone Review | Best budget mic for events under $350?

[@TheDJsGuru]

Have you ever used a Phenyx Pro microphone?

[@djizzynyc]

I have.. the ptu71 and this ptu2

[@TheDJsGuru]

@@djizzynychow has it worked for you?

[@KRE-64]

I have the PTU7000 and the 1U. Love them. They lean a little towards the "bassy" side but that's easily eq'd. Great bang for your buck. Mainly use the 7000 system when i do sound for harmony groups

[@TheDJsGuru]

@@KRE-64 thanks!

[@jeffreylangan344]

I use the ptu-1u as a secondary microphone on my main rig, and third mic for ceremonies. Never any issues. I use EV Re3's for my mains. It would probably work for my main, but I don't 100% have confidence because of how inexpensive they are.

He's not lying. These mics are phenomenal. I've used them for a year now singing in them and they are super well built (solid) and the sound quality is outstanding. I've never experienced channel signal interference noise either.

[@TheDJsGuru]

We never lie - but we appreciate your feedback!!! No pun intended

[@IamDJFTR]

Good review brotha. I won’t knock the brand, because they really are a SOLID brand with products that’re a great value to performance piece of gear. But based in my experience, I wouldn’t use Phenyx for mission critical applications like weddings ever again. Had two weddings, back to back, where I had cut outs & random transmitter shut offs and fell out for sync with the receiver (Yep, I did the usual go-to’s like scanning, checking channels, etc. Everything checked out). Still no idea why, especially as I used LD Systems wireless mics in a similar frequency range, and never experienced those same issues. Again, no knock to those who cop em, but my experience after using them for near a year and randomly experience such an egregious error swayed me from em.

[@TheDJsGuru]

@@IamDJFTR agreed.

[@bassred]

I’ve got a set I use for my band, love them. I’m a professional sound engineer by trade and use SM58-equipped Shire Axient wireless at my venue, I feel no shame using the Phenyx Pro mics at all of our gigs. I use their IEM sets too. Amazing value, bringing great tools to people playing the smaller market without breaking the bank!!

[@TheDJsGuru]

Agreed

[@aimanisahac]

I have 4 sets of these. Been using this for 1 year now, and it is awesome! I'd say it's on par with Shure BLX288 Sennheiser 835 dual microphpnes when it comes to sound quality, with half the price! The only problem i have with these mics is the handling noise and the plosives.

[@joshhanson79]

I am looking for some new mics for DJing and small live sound. Would you recommend this one over the PTU-7000-4H I get this one has the True Diversity, but is it with the price difference say to get two of these vs the 7000

[@djsilverva]

I’ve just started using the 4 mic 7000 version of this for about 5 weeks now for karaoke, it’s been very reliable and to not just myself sounds better than my shure beta 58 with my bkx4r rack mount mic

[@TheDJsGuru]

👍

[@J-DJ]

For weddings, speeches, etc I think this would be super, except if one of the bridesmaids is Adele and wants to sing a song for the newlyweds, then one of the expensive Shure or Sennheiser systtems maybe would be better :-) Btw great review - thank you 👍

[@TheDJsGuru]

Ty!

[@krisdees]

I have these in my rack case build. They work great in my opinion.

[@TheDJsGuru]

❤️ Thanks for comment!

[@wkhentertainment-vd1qc]

Awesome info! Can i place 2 antenas on my booth sides and the other 2 antenas on my booth rack? I have the bunn booth. It has 2 hook ups for 2 antenas and i need 4? Thats why im asking.

[@TheDJsGuru]

Sure just need extenders

[@djxcel23]

Only thing I dislike are the antennas I really wish they could make them smaller

[@TheDJsGuru]

The literal size is what helps them to be effective

[@MrMaui38]

Nice video! I wish these had a lapel option too! Question - I noticed these have four antenna total. I currently have a mic system (GTD-733) which is also a dual system that claims it is true diversity, but only has two antenna in total, not four like this unit. Do you think they could actually be true diversity with only two antennas for 2 units??

[@jonathandavis3747]

They do have the lapel option sold separately.

[@TheDJsGuru]

You can get lapel sets - and as far as the other question would have to look more into it

[@MrMaui38]

@@jonathandavis3747 Wow i didnt know thanks!

[@MrMaui38]

@@TheDJsGuru Wow i didnt know, thanks!

[@NukePooch1]

I've got a 733 and a 787. Neither are diversity mics for the reason you stated. Good mics for close stage work when the mics might get abused... like kids shows or karaoke. I'm not breaking out a Sennheiser for someone to drop...

[@jonathandavis3747]

Which Shure system did you compare, BLX with no external antennas?

[@TheDJsGuru]

Actually it was older - PG58 in the old PGX series - They had small antennas

[@jdavis8460]

Many people say that series is bulletproof @@TheDJsGuru

[@TheDJsGuru]

@@jdavis8460 yes it was just when Shure was making some major manufacturing changes.

Testies, testies, one, two, three?
