- You saw my review on the PTU 5000, now can spending $90s more give you a significantly upgraded mic? Let's talk about it. PTU 5000 vs PTU 7000
- Навчання та стиль
I bought this system last month after watching your review of the PTU-5000. Amazon was showing it out of stock for a few weeks and then it showed up at my door step 5 days later. I have used it twice and I am very happy with the performance of the PTU-7000.
i just ordered this only because of your review. You are more candid than the other vloggers, I checked out the other vloggers reviews on the PTU5000 and they never even mentioned how horrible the on and off switch is (that doesnt have a standby mode) but you mentioned it. Also we laughed about how you said the logo isn't even on the PTU500 mics---thats honesty in a nutshell. I hope to meet you at Expo 2022 in Vegas!
i have the PTU-5000 and have been happy with it so far. Super fun for home or small events. Having the variable frequencies would give confidence in larger settings where you may be getting frequency overloads.
Thank you! I will be buying the PTU7000 today thanks to you!
Love it! Love it!! Love it!!! Maaaan! I was looking for a good mic set up and was dreading having to come up with $500-$800 for one mic and receiver. Here I get four mics for less than the price of one, (shure or sennheizer). You put it out, I took it in. Cleveland Terry has done it again!!!
Wow awesome feedback my Friend... I've been waiting to get a good fairly inexpensive system... Thank you very much!!
Kept coming across the Phenyx brand on my Facebook page. Was thinking it was too good to be true, even thought it appeared to be a handsome unit. Starting doing a little homework to see what professionals were saying. Thank you for the review. You helped me make up my mind.
I went back to find this video because I thought I missed it but didn't realize if was a video from a year ago. I watched this one, but thought that you had a newer set you were going to review. I see Phenyx advertising their PTU model of mics now that look real good and thought maybe you got some of those.
hey pal. thanks for the review. you have made my mind up and feel confident about buying this. cheers. ged in Manchester uk
excellent review thanks for the information of the 2 systems..
Bought the PTU-71 (2 mic system) after your review of the 5000. Love it. Gonna get another set (7000A 4 mic system wasn't available when ordered)
Hello. Is the ptu 71 the 1:1 version of the ptu7000 except in a 2 channel form factor? Would you still recommend it today? Thanks
Thanks for the review, Cleveland! I bought the PTU 7000 after watching this video and getting consistent dropouts with cheap AF wireless mics. No frequency control, barely any volume control, and a TS receiver that kept getting bumped and moved around led to dropouts. Haven't had an issue with this system and am that much more confident in addressing my clients' needs!
Do you mean the PTU 7000 drop outs?
@@booninghamno, he said “haven’t had an issue with this system”
Thanks! I saw the 5000 at a gig and was about to buy 3. Whew! I thought they were switchable.
Great review!
THANK YOU Cleveland for doing this review! I’ve been a KJ for years, but I’m finally putting together my own equip to do my own gigs. I’m used to using the Shure Beta58a wireless mics, but the pgxd24/Beta58a sets are on back order everywhere, so I’ve been looking for something cheaper to use while I wait that still sounds decent. Thank you for such an honest, thorough review. I’m buying them today! Love your channel, and even though your channel is aimed mostly for DJs I find your insight incredibly helpful. :)
Check the 2 channel review also. Smaller form factor. Ptu 71
@@ClevelandTerry Cleveland, on a side note, how has the longevity been for this system. I am looking to purchase to replace 3 shure units. I just don't want it dropping out on us 6 months after we get it. Currently running into connection issues with one of the units only a year after purchase.
@@ClevelandTerry SO IF I WANT TO RAP FOR CASH AND IM OUTSIDE WHERE PANHANDLERS ARE LIKE AT STOP LIGHTS AND INTERSECTIONS
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR TOP RECOMMENDED FOR BLACK FRIDAY SALES ??
AND DO I NEED A MIXER ???
I HAVE A 3 BIG BOOM BOXES THAT HAVE SETTINGS THAT I CAN PLAY THE SOUND FROM
PLEASE HELP FAST !!!
Thank you for this video. I’m a country singer and I also run sound for a wedding band and I just purchased this! I’m excited to use it
I am a dj too...doing weddings how is it going with your gigs?
Great review Terry! Do you know if they will start selling combiners, and antenna boosters like other pro systems?
Thanks!
No sleep squad gather here! I'm gonna cup these nextly! Thanks master Terry.
Through your whole video I was waiting for you to talk about the $300 Sub 🤣
I would love for you to do a review on the 7000 PTU body packs as well!
Another quick question, how do you still feel about this mic system? And what state have you been testing it in?
Great review I’m buy a set!
I have been using the Phenyx Pro U7000 for over year now at a karaoke bar, it sounds really good and feels like an expensive microphone. The only two things that i don't really like about the mic is the off and on switch, Singers keep turning it off and on when they shouldn't be. And when the mic gets dropped on the hard floor, the Mic head gets easily damaged and needs to get replaced. The problem is that You can't just purchase a new mic head. The good thing is that replacing the mic itself will only cost you about $40.00.
Great review! Do you still use these 3 years later? Any updates on the quality, reliability, or just usage? Thanks!
I just bought the latest model Phenyx Pro Wireless Microphone System, True Diversity Dual Cordless Microphone Set and couldn't get one that worked properly. I loved the price point and really wanted this to work but just fell short.
Great video. By any chance do you know of these mics work with any rechargeable batteries?
Cannot locate a link to purchase anywhere online but this review was extremely helpful. Thanks!!
Dj Vertigo they are sold out at the moment. They hope to have more in a few weeks.
Cleveland Terry yeah I saw that a little further down in the comments. I ended up getting the PTU-71 after looking at your review of the 7000 and other reviews of the 71. I’ve been looking for a solid backup mic to my Shure (really hard watching the best man hold your baby while making a toast when you know that dude was drinking way too much prior to introductions LOL). Thank you Sir. Keep up the awesome reviews!!
Dj Vertigo lol.
Check out the GTD Audio mics and do a review. I've had 2 sets of these for years. For Karaoke or weddings they have never failed me.
I've got the G-622 model and all mics can be frequency change. The range is way over 350 feet.
Good review Terry
I'm curious how the gtd compares they are both around the same price point
I had GTD Audio G-622 after 2 years and one of the mic is making weird sound.
Thank you for the info! Are you still using them? If so how are they holding up?
Would you recommend the PTU 7000 for singers in a live band setting? We would all be on IEM’s so there wouldn’t be a ton of stage volume besides the drum kit.
Thank you for making this video. I watched all your videos (Phenyx Pro) and found them very useful, thankyou.
My question is if I am needing 8 mics would it be better to get the 8 channel PTU 6000A single rackmount or is it better to get the PTU 7000A 4 channel / 4 mic rackmount instead? Is there any benefit using two 4ch rackmounts over the single channel 8 channel rackmount?
you can always use 2x 4 channel systems in one room . You can't use one 8 channel system in two rooms.
Doing a show with rappers and singers outside on a roof and I was thinking of going wired with the shire 58’s but if you think these will do the trick for singers and rappers i will grab this. thanks in advance
Awesome review man, I just ordered me a set, I am wondering something, so it looks like you can remove the capsule on those as well, and I am wondering if you can actually use a Shure capsule on these, and they look like they are built the same as the Shure, would you be able to maybe take the capsule off and see if a sm58 is compatible? It’s funny phenyx doesn’t sell capsules, even tho their mics have removable capsules
I thought the same, but sadly it doesn’t work.
How do these compare to the shure BLX mics, for sound quality? The shure set only comes with 2 mics and costs way more.
Hi Cleveland,
Please, as I am just starting. I got the PTU 7000 Receiver and the Mics. What things would I need to get it sound
Do a view on the VocoPro system
Can you name a few of similar systems from the well know brands like shure and others, thanks 🙏
Would you recommend this for a Church group for live performances? They have a budget of about $500 for 4 microphones. Thank you in advance.
Hey C, where is it? Looks like it’s gone from Amazon?
How about if you use two of the system for 8 mics. Is there any problem that you may know of?
Hi Terry, is this still recommended in 2023, or you know some better alternatives? I'm looking for 4 channel micrphone system under $500.
I am new to wireless microphones I received these yesterday hook them up via XLR cable I have it hooked up to powered amplifier Yamaha EMX66, I had my wired Sure SM58 wired connected and my Sure Wireless microphone connected. All set to same volume with volume on mixer set in my usual spot I notice my two Shure mics very very lol and sounded identical I had the crank up the volume on this new one to about double of the Shures to get the same volume. Is this normal?
So would I be able to use my audio-technica body pack with that?
Nice thanks for sharing! Where is the affiliate links?
Did you buy the system on Amazon or directly from Phenyx?
Is there one that you would recommend with only 2 microphones 🎤?
Can we use this as just an in ear system with out the mics? Just looking for monitors for a 4 piece band.
4 years later.. are they still good?
How for is the range on this model? (Sorry if a repeat question...didn’t see it answered in the video or comments)
What it do Cleveland, from the central valley !!!
Is the mix out on the receiver mic level or line level
Great review!Are you still using this system now? Because this review is about 4 years old now. Thanks
Whether he is or not, they are amazing! 🎉
If I buy 2 sets, so I have 8 mics (for church) would this work ?
Thanks!
You are welcome. Thanks for the thanks!
My man!
Does this really compare to like a shure qlxd?
The great part about about the PTU 5000 , is actually the location of the mic power switch , it's out of the grasp of singers , where you have it ....I've been hosting Karaoke shows for 16 years or so ..An ongoing problem is that singers are ALWAYS hitting and squeezing the on /off switch causing the mic to cut in and out ..The main body of the mic is a bad location for all singers ...I love the location of the switch down low and out of the way ...Pheynx , don't mess with the switch location ..If it's not broke , don't fix it ...
Perhaps instead, they should offer microphones with choice of positions. I see the pros and cons of both setups. Choice dependent on how it is being used.
Karaoke, I can see having it out of the way. But for most presentations and singers they will know how to handle the mic.
CLEVELAND TERRY I BOUGHT THIS SYSTEM (THE 5000) FOR AN UPGRADE USING SHURE SM58 WIRED MICS FOR CHURCH SERVICES AND I CAN SAY ALL THE SINGERS LOVE THE WAY THE MICS FEEL AND THE PASTOR WAS ESPECIALLY SURPRISED AT THE SOUND LEVELS THEY PUT OUT.. I HAVE BEEN USING THEM FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS NOW AND LOVE IT. I GIVE IT 4.5 OUT OF 5 SO FAR.
why 4.5 out of 5 stars? how large is your church? how far is your FOH from the stage?
@@kalstewart1971 I GAVE IT 4.5 AT THE TIME DUE TO IT BEING A FIXED FREQUENCY NOT BEING A VARIABLE ONE, OTHERWISE THEY ARE GREAT
Hi, would you still recommend this system for a church?
@@gbangDelgado yes I would. Have since updated to the ptu-6000a. No problems so far.
Great review, sir! I am considering of getting the PTU 7000 for a karaoke setup. Would this be a good option? and connect it to a Harbinger PA speaker? Thanks
I pretty much use this exclusively for karaoke.
@@ClevelandTerry what mixer do you use? Thanks
Does anybody have the link to buy from?
Is the 6000 and the 7000 the same Mics
GTD audio has been on this path for years.
Are you still using this system as of today?
so the phenyx pro ptu 7000 is a good buy
hey cleveland... i am in a small four piece band... we play small venues and nightclubs... we have have had shure and senheiser and were not happy with them... will these outperform the higher end models? we have already ordered this system... we also want to order the heaset and lapel mics are they available?
I don’t know if it’ll outperform but it’s definitely a good system.
I've had my PTU-71 for 3 years and they sound like i just bought them.
Hi does anyone know if these work in the uk?
I have a duel mic system from innopow. It has the same features as the upgraded model you are displaying. The are great mics. I think these are China made from the same manufacturer just rebranded.
you never said where you ranked the quality of the sound of these pics in comparison to the Shure mics you use tho..🤔
P I say it in my other video. ua-cam.com/video/HSFqHCzxRd4/v-deo.html
Dude those people don’t even have a phone number for customers service i am trying to get in contact with them to purchase some products for i dont know how to get I touch with them
Any update on longevity?
Thanks!
They still work just fine
Do they sale two mics with 2 lavaliers as a combo?
DJ Ace I’ve seen that on the 5000 but not the 7000
How do you set this up with ur pro x case?
Aaron Hall your case you should have a bag of rack mount tabs to be drilled into your case. Then attach this to the rack mount.
How about reach?
Church looking to upgrade some mics. Do you forsee singers having issues accidentally muting themselves?
No. It definitely requires an action to mute. Not something they could accidentally press down IMO
@@ClevelandTerry Ok good. Looking to change our mics. What do you think of mics that allow people to turn selves off and on in a church type of setting It kinda stresses me out on the board.
I guess ill have to train persons to always leave it on.
when you get out of range or turn the mic off do you get white noise?
Also what is the range?
@@djace5191 200ft
Did you have problem with frequency?
No, buts also because I did an immediate scan and sync.
Thank very much bro. Can u please send us the link of ptu 700?
So sad I can’t connect it with my laptop.
Does it require phantom power?
No.
Can I hook that up PTU 7000 at the back of my S1 pro
I don’t see why not
Thank u sir I really appreciate that
Awesome review man, I just ordered me a set, I am wondering something, so it looks like you can remove the capsule on those as well, and I am wondering if you can actually use a Shure capsule on these, and they look like they are built the same as the Shure, would you be able to maybe take the capsule off and see if a sm58 is compatible? It’s funny phenyx doesn’t sell capsules, even tho their mics have removable capsules
Are ptu 5000 good enough for karaoke since i don't want the on and off button easily accessible to the singer?
I do not recommend phenyx pro anymore, their products are super cheap, I got the ptu-71 , the dual handheld , 2 antennas already broke, one receiver went out, and on the handheld the little plastic cover that is on top of the lcd display got pushed in. Cheap. So I went and spent 700 bucks on a SHURE SLX-D and it was the best purchase ever, expensive well built mic, never again I’ll buy these cheap Chinese mics. Also, for karaoke they sound okay ish, for professional singers it’s garbage. Put some headphones on and listen to yourself with these mics, they got a lot of distortion, prob don’t come out as bad on a PA, but home sound systems and in ear monitors, you will hear it all the time, I couldn’t do it. Don’t buy any phenyx mics. All garbage
