True Diversity Wireless Microphone System w/ 1000 Tunable Channels, Single Cordless Mic Set w/Auto Scan, UHF Professional Dynamic Microphone for Singing, Stage & Studio (PTU-1U)

I am a sound and lighting technician for theatres and other venues and have recently been asked to install a system into a venue which a pretty tight budget. I’m normally abit funny when it’s comes to microphones as you tend to get what you pay for, however this one attracted my attention due to its good reviews so I made the purchase. I used this microphone in the above venue last week for a comedian from ‘mock the week’ with a large audience. His rider requested a sennhieser (£650 worth of kit) which this venue simply does not have nor can afford. The show was fantastic and the un-trained ear would not have known that this was a budget microphone. Really easy to get a good EQ as mix with no interference or the odd ‘cutting out’ like most mics in this price range. The performer and his tour manager were extremely pleased with the evening and how good the whole even sounded, and this is with thanks to this piece of kit. Well recommended for those on a budget. The flight rack fittings (1u) is also extremely useful.

Excellent for the price. I use it for karaoke nights. But in handling notes but you wouldn’t really notice. Good battery life and strong signal. Liked it enough to buy two more slightly cheaper ones to give to karaoke customers. They all do a great job

I thought I’d give this microphone a try , I have tried nearly ever model in my 52 years as a pro singer. This first note I sang into it really surprised me I shall be using this for a very long time. Do not be afraid of the low price it’s no reflection on the quality. If you need a good microphone this is the one

Someone on here compared this with a mid-range Sennheiser -- my first thought was how much did Phenyx pay them for that review, because just no. I really can't understand where these reviews are coming from, but this does NOT perform like a £600 Sennheiser, Shure, or Audio Technica microphone. On paper, the Phenyx seems to have it all. However, I quickly found this kit isn't for those looking for a clean, professional sound; which, really, I should have expected for the money. I tested this next to my Sennheiser G3 handheld (with 835 capsule, so a fair comparison, frequency response isn't miles apart), but couldn't believe how much noise was coming out of the Phenyx receiver! Getting both mics to the same level, through gain and fader adjustment, the Phenyx produced too much noise to be a viable solution for professional applications - you can actually see the noise level, once matched in an otherwise silent environment, in the attached photo. I did check the manual, and also contact Phenyx directly, to see if receiver gain could be trimmed to try and overcome the noise output -- the answer is "no", it cannot be adjusted from the mic or the receiver. For what it's worth, I swapped cables around, I swapped input channels, and ruled out that it was anything other than the Phenyx putting out a ridiculous amount of noise. If it weren't for that, I think this could have been an excellent bit of kit. The frequency response, while not quite as good as the Senny, was still good enough for vocals and speech with very little EQing needed. Hopefully Phenyx can resolve this (I imagine with better internal parts) in the next iteration.

Eigentlich habe ich seit Jahren kein Mikrofon mehr erworben, auf dem mindestens Shure oder Sennheiser stand. Durch Zufall bin ich bei Amazon auf dieses Teil gestoßen und habe es am Wochenende auf einer Party (siehe Photo) und am nächsten Tag zum Frühschoppen eingesetzt, um es zu testen. Was soll ich sagen. Mein digitales Sennheiser konnte im Koffer bleiben. Das Gerät hat alle Aufgaben spielend gemeistert. Keine Störungen, klarer gut verständlicher Klang, nur vergleichbar mit meinem Shure SM58. Ich bin DJ und oft nutzen Künstler meine Mikrofone bei Live-Auftritten. Ich hätte kein Problem damit, das Phenyx Mikro dazu zu verwenden. Auch laute Töne schluckt das Mikro ohne zu übersteuern. Vergleichbar ist dieses Teil nur mit Geräten in der Preisklasse ab 700,00 € aufwärts. 5 Sterne, klare Empfehlung.

Very well built and heavy duty. The sound is amazing and the reception is fantastic! I did a DJ gig and used the wireless handheld microphone from at least 50 yards away outside of the building with no static or noise.

Il prodotto è interamente in metallo è arrivato in cellophanato Ma una volta aperto il microfono era graffiato, Inizialmente pensavo di sostituirlo ma poi ho deciso di renderlo poiché il suono Non è male, forse un po' troppo ricco di basse e non troppo dettagliato, c'è purtroppo un leggero rumore di fondo costante che lo relega così a un suono di un microfono di fascia economica... se vi state chiedendo se vale quello che costa la risposta è sì... ma purtroppo ho visto recensioni che lo paragonavano a prodotti di fascia ben più alta tipo Shure o Sennheiser e mi spiace ma non si avvicina nemmeno...., volevo sostituire il mio vecchio Line 6 xd v75... ma quest'ultimo è di gran lunga superiore...

El micrófono se desconecta por momentos, iba a regresar el producto pero el envío me salía en más de dos mil pesos mexicanos y según después me los iban a reembolsar pero no podía confiar (porque no mandaron una guía pagada desde antes) después me dijo el vendedor que me iba a hacer un pequeño reembolso por el detalle (reembolso que nunca llegó) el micrófono no suena mal y así se usa obviamente no estoy contento por lo que pague.

You could say I have a lot of microphones. You could also say I know a bit about RF, as I've made a career out of it, including a lot of antenna design and construction. I'm also a semi-pro musician and sound guy and recordist with a few decades of experience. No illusions, this isn't a $2k Sennheiser or Shure unit, but if you just want a standard wireless mic that feels good in the hand for general PA (speaking) use, you should consider it. In my application, a medium-sized class reunion in a large hall, it performed flawlessly. The required range was well over 100', perhaps 140' at the farthest I tested it, and I never noted any noise or dropouts throughout the event. The diversity receiver indicates when it changes between RF front ends, and it does so silently with grace. The power/mute control on the bottom of the mic is nicely out of the way of stray fingers, and the display only lights up on the hand-held for a few seconds when you change modes to conserve battery. Speaking of that, we had it running throughout the event, maybe 5 hours, with plenty of battery left, so it's not a current hog. As to interference, we did not experience any, but there is an RF level meter - you can easily change channels if you see any RF activity (with the handheld turned off, of course) and choose another, quieter channel. Pairing to a new channel is easy enough with the infrared pairing process (read the manual). If that is not enough gig security for you, invest $60 in one of the handy "tinySA" spectrum analyzers and make a sweep of the 500-600 MHz band at your venue before your event. That will tell you exactly where to drop in your wireless mic frequency to avoid nearby signals. Since we did not have any local activity on the frequency I was using (mid-band), I cannot speak to the possible intermodulation (interference from nearby channels) performance of this unit. I did however run the included antennas over a calibrated R&S Network Analyzer and both antennas are tuned resonant where they should be. :) This is key to any transmitters performance and yet some manufacturers go cheap on "close enough" antennas. The only real down sides I found were two fold - 1. audio quality. This mic is bass-rich. Easy to EQ out, but it is a little lumpy in the bass region. This will make a lot of presenters sound more authoritative, but it's too warm on many voices. It also really exaggerates the plosives, so plan to use a foam windscreen. The downside to that is the foam will cut some highs, which are not all that present in the mic to start with. 2. Some handling noise is definitely present. The mic capsule is not well isolated from the body, however this is pretty typical in lower-priced microphones, so no surprise there. I wanted to add a little foam inside the windscreen, but when I removed it the capsule stays within it by design. I might yet find a way in if I am careful and place a little extra foam in there to help with plosives. Overall a decent presentation mic, no latency that I could discern and reasonable performance for the price-point. I'd buy it again for any similar gig. By the way, the receive antennas are supposed to be 1/2 wavelength apart for maximum benefit from the True Diversity receiver. Here's a hint: in the 500-600 MHz band, that's around 25cm or 10". Leave the antennas parallel and vertical, and orient them so they are both in-line with the hand-held transmitter (not perpendicular). That means if you are looking at the front panel of the receiver straight on, the talent is far to your left or right, not behind the receiver. It seems counterintuitive until you analyze it....That will give the receiver the ability to listen to at least one antenna that's in a peak rather than a null, as they occur in free space every 10" (1/2 wavelength), in a circular pattern around the transmitter. If you see your talent at a distance directly BEHIND the receiver (or in front), both antennas will see the same null at the same time, which does not give you protection against dropouts. The idea is that at any time one antenna NEEDS to be radially 10" farther away from (or closer to) the talent than the other for this idea to work well . Little things make a difference, and understanding breeds success, even on a budget.
