Budget Wireless Mic System? | Phenyx Pro PTU-5000 

Good video. Thanks for pointing out it is fixed frequency. The frequencies are listed which is nice as online you can find the digital television frequencies and ask for a set that is not in a channel in use in your area. It is always a good idea to get a list of the local TV stations in use in your area before buying a wireless and be prepared to accept a system that can not be moved if the channel becomes occupied. In my market, there is a lot of channel reassignments in progress requiring us to change the channels we use in our building. Mics that can not move are required to not cause interference and must accept any interference, which means if the frequencies are assigned to a broadcaster, you are required to stop using those frequencies. I keep a list of TV channel assignments for our area by the receivers for reference of the frequencies we should not use. For example the one mic shown in the video is in UHF channel 29 band. You should not use that mic when CH 29 is in use in the area for television.

Very good microphones we have for our church we love them.

Thanks for the info man

Well done sir

I have these and used them for live music gigs. Overall: really bad for music. They pick up everything in front, behind, and to the side (which is not right for cardioid mics) and were always a one way ticket straight to feedback town. They are OK for spoken word like church, or outdoor events, business meetings, but just awful for live music. I used corded SM58's while looking for a new wireless mic system and eventually replaced with 2 sets of Shure BLX288/PG58 which were a lot more expensive but work great for music gigs.

Any problem with a buzz noise, others have complained about this. Thanks.

The Phenyx Pro PTU-7000A seems to have selectable frequencies. I may order a set for my church.

please do you still have that Phenyx Pro PTU-500 available now?

What about the headsets? Did they work ok? Would you recommend them for a musical?

is there a difference between Phenyx Pro PTU-5000 and the Phenyx PTU-71 in sound, thanks

Can this set work in Uk London for church choir please?

It sounds like these can combine channels for one amp is this so? Thanks

I am new to the world of audio equipment, and I am looking into purchasing this system. If I do so, would I need to purchase a mixer as well as an amplifier/speakers? If so, does anybody have any recommendations for speakers and mixers that would work well with this system? Thanks!

I don't know if you know or not but these are actually manufactured by the same company that makes Shure.

Are the displays on the rack unit stickers as well?

How does it hook into a mixer?

How can I get it in Kenya

Hi Kennis, enjoyed your video. Couple of things if I may...a 10 minute video won't get as many viewers as something shorter. I was going to pass on you for reviews from those giving a 5-7 minute video. You get repetitive a lot. Plus lots of extra words that make us kind of drift away at times. Ok, that's my bashing, sorry. Now, couple of things I think we're missed. One, you say you used it for your "kids" events. That means to me that it's not a good system for our community theatre group. When we do a musical, we need another 4 mics. I was looking at buying this but you only say it's used for kids. I now feel it's not going to be good for our adult singing for "Anything Goes" musical. Second, you mention the sticker on the mic. I did see a battery life indicator. So are saying that the battery indicator in that "fake" window are always going to show fully charged? If that's a full sticker, then it's always going to say fully charged. Is that the case? We are freezing here in Wisconsin, 15 below tonight, so your reply will warm us up. Thanks. bob viking, Madison Wisconsin.
