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’m a sound tech with approximately 25 years of experience as well as a musician and singer in two cover bands. When I’m not performing, I’m providing sound for other bands in my area. I’m very comfortable on both sides of the sound console and know what I’m looking for in my equipment. I look for equipment that meets my needs regardless of the cost. It needs to be reliable and durable because I’m going to be carrying in and out of venues almost every weekend both indoors and out. In addition, it needs to have a reasonable set of features and in the case of microphones, they need to have a consistent and reasonably neutral sound before you introduce any eq, compression, etc. I've used a LOT of wired and wireless solutions over the years from every major brand and honestly this is one of the best values in wireless mics I've run across. The PTU-1 is comparable in features, quality, and sound reproduction to much more expensive units. Features considered; this unit matches very closely to the Shure SLX series which is currently 699.00. The biggest difference on paper appears to be the PTU-1 is an analog unit, and the SLX series is digital. Pros: - Solid all metal build quality - Good button layout and easy to read displays on both the handheld transmitter and receiver. The controls are very intuitive, and controls are well laid out. - Good neutral and consistent sound signature from the handheld capsule. Very similar to an SM58 but slightly darker. - Very good unwanted sound rejection from the sides, front, and distance from the capsule. Typical carotid pattern. - Comparable handling noise to the SLX and GLXD series. Wireless handling noise can be minimized by proper gain staging at every level. (You don’t want to turn the volume knob on these units all the way up. I’ve found that setting the volume at 9 O’clock gives me a very similar input level into my console as a wired dynamic mic allowing me to properly gain stage.) - Good wireless range and large available frequency options. I’ve been able to move around in venues with around 300 people very easily without signal issue using the included antenna mounted to the front of my rack with decent line of site. - Good battery life. I use Panasonic eneloop rechargeable batteries for years and I can easily get though a 5-hour gig without switching batteries. - GREAT feature set particularly the auto frequency scan and sync. This is VERY useful Cons: - Capsule CAN get a little muddy if you get right up on the mic with your lips. This is common for all carotid mics and this system is no different. - The capsule is screwed into the grill instead of the body of the mic. This makes cleaning the grill regularly a bit more time consuming. Since I work as a sound professional, I like to clean my equipment after each show, and I would prefer the capsule to stay with the base for easier cleaning. Bottom line is this is a fantastic unit and VERY reasonably priced. I’ve been carrying the PTU-7000 series for 3 years every weekend and they have proved to be very reliable and consistent. I wouldn’t hesitate to carry the PTU-1 and PTU-2 units either. Phenyx pro has earned my trust as reliable, well built, and reasonably priced gear. If you’re needing sound reinforcement for a local church, cover band, or small to medium sized venues, I recommend you give Phenyx Pro a look.

The Phenyx Pro PTU-1U True Diversity Wireless Microphone System performs beyond expectations! The system is well packaged with a thin but study cardboard box with information and pictures on the outside. Upon opening the outer box, inside you will find a hardshell plastic case with two latches. The PHEYNX PRO name and logo are prominently displayed on both sides of the hard shell case. The case is very similar in quality to those made by other higher priced companies. Upon opening the case, the system is securely packaged in foam with cut outs for the main components. The microphone feels solid in your hand. Just by the feel you can tell it is well made and will take a drop or two. Assembling the system is quite intuitive but there is a very helpful and easy to understand instruction manual included. I inserted the batteries, powered the system on, then turned on the microphone. Immediately, the microphone and receiver locked in on a channel a with zero static, glitch, or noise interference. The volume adjustment know on the receiver really helps you dial in the perfect volume. I performed a distance test for the microphone up to about 50 feet away from the receiver without any problems or noise interference. I also performed a feedback test by both standing in the middle of my full band during rehearsal with the microphone on and getting very close to the monitors, PA, and other speakers. The microphone did not produce any feedback at any time. Oh, and I actually did drop it twice during rehearsal and no problems at all. I will using the microphone this weekend for a live show and will send another update, pics, and posts after that. The PHEYNX PRO PTU-1U is an amazing wireless microphone system that can hold it’s own against the more expensive brands. If you are looking for a quality, easy to use wireless microphone system at an affordable price, look no further than the Phenyx Pro True Diversity system.

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.

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...

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

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.

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.
