Cleveland Terry was right, these mics are great! Phenyx Pro PTU7000 

THANK YOU for actually taking off the capsule! You've confirmed to me that the capsules are replaceable and that they are actually Shure Beta58a copy capsules which is what I want. It's literally the first thing I would do so I'm amazed that I've been through many reviews and nobody even seems to have even thought of it. EDIT. it's a proprietry size of capsule so no fitting shure capsules or anything like that. The handling noise is high on the mic and the plosives are too high on the capsule.

I just got the 7000 unit with two mics and two lavalier. I also ordered the antenna extension kit for rack mounting. I just tested them out and they seem to sound great. The microphones have a solid heavy quality to them and the Lavalier‘s seem like they will hold up over the long run as far as durability. It’ll be a month or so before I’ve test them out but I’m not missing paying the Shure and Sennheiser entry fees.

I have a band, a trio, duo, run a small festival and occassional karaoke. I use Sennheiser e835 and e935 wired microphones. I also have a few Behringer XM8500s, which are SM58 style mics. I would not expect these to compete with the Sennheisers, given the price. However, are they comparable with the XM8500? If so they could be useful.

Would you recommend these mics for weddings and ceremonies? I do about 40 weddings a year so I’m no rookie. But I love saving money and getting good gear. Who doesn’t right.
