Pros:
It's stereo! For some, this may not matter but I personally love the flexibility of having a stereo IEM unit. For one I can monitor the true output of the mixer. Having stereo capabilities also makes it possible to have a custom monitor mix that just wouldn't be possible in mono. For example, I personally like to have guitars in my left ear and vocals in my right. This would not be possible with a mono unit.
It can just as easily run in mono if you prefer!
The unit runs in the 900 frequency range which isn't used nearly as much as most of the completion which either runs in the 500's or even worse, 2.4k! This makes finding and maintaining a good connection easy and seamless.
IR Sync between the transmitter and receiver! I can't express enough how useful of a feature this is. It makes setup super fast and easy but even more important, should you have issues during the show it makes scanning in a new frequency fast and easy.
Besides those reasons above it looks great, it's rack-mountable, and comes with EVERYTHING you need to get up and running right in the box!
Cons:
The backpack is made of plastic. While this is true I have found it holds up well to abuse and even withstood some drop tests!
No auto-scan for frequencies. This unit will not scan to find the best frequency but I personally have found when working in the 900hZ range, this is rarely an issue. 900 is not very common so you're not really going to have much competition for frequencies. Also, the cost of this unit is SIGNIFICANTLY less than the competition so they had to save costs in some places. I for one would rather lose auto scan and keep the rock-solid connectivity and ease of use. I would rather have a solid unit that I know I can count on than have the convenience of auto-scan.
As I said above, this unit is a no-brainer! I love Phenyx Pro and use their products across my live work and I work with audio for a living. So I'm using this gear in professional settings with paying clients and just like my other Phenyx Pro gear, it's never let me down or disappointed. I'm a massive fan of Phenyx Pro and will continue to support them. I wish more companies would have this way of thinking. They care about their users and give us the best possible products without breaking the bank. I highly recommend the PTM-10 and furthermore, any products Phenyx Pro makes. You really can't go wrong!
Let's start with the good news. The transmitter unit and bodypacks performed exceptionally well and seem quite durable. The bodypacks were effortless to sync with the transmitter unit, and I encountered almost no signal dropouts or interference during my use. This is especially impressive given the presence of other wireless units and cell phones in the vicinity, which bodes well for utilizing this system on the road. Additionally, the range of the PTM-10 is outstanding. I was able to walk all the way up my driveway while the transmitter was set up on one side of my house before I started experiencing any signal drops, which is roughly twenty times the distance I would ever be from the unit during an actual performance. Moreover, the sound quality was generally crystal-clear, effectively conveying the mix that I had dialed in.
On to the not-so-great aspects. First and foremost, the interface for both the transmitter and bodypacks is perplexing and difficult to navigate. With minimal buttons and an unusual tap-and-hold or quick tap scheme to access various commands and features, setting up both the transmitters and receivers was trying and incredibly frustrating. Moreover, the manual is pretty sparse and not very helpful, but thankfully Phenyx Pro provides a video tutorial/walkthrough that fills in many of the gaps.
Secondly, the stereo function of the PTM-10 is problematic. After successfully configuring it to stereo mode, I discovered a persistent hiss that was quite noticeable. Despite going through the various EQ functions and adjusting the mix in my DAW, the issue was still present. On a whim, I changed the unit from stereo mode to mono, which essentially eliminated the hiss. While I'm not sure what caused this problem, it seems that others have had similar experiences.
Despite the drawbacks, I do recommend the PTM-10, especially when you consider its reasonable price point and the consistently excellent customer support from Phenyx Pro. However, it does require some time and patience to set up properly, and the user interface can be very challenging to navigate. Additionally, the stereo function falls short of expectations, but I found that having a stereo mix in my ears isn't particularly crucial. Nonetheless, it's worth keeping these caveats in mind.
Recommendations: The stock earbuds/headphones that come with this unit sound very tinny and do not do a great job of attenuating noise, which if you play live with a full band means you’re not going to be able to hear your IEM mix whatsoever. So if you plan on getting this unit, also plan on getting a nicer set of sound isolating earphones/earbuds. Also, while the unit does have 4 body packs, it’s all sharing one single mix, so if you and your bandmates have very specific monitoring needs, I’d suggest just getting a separate unit for everyone (we purchased the PTM-22 and that has proven to be a fantastic addition to our live IEM setup).

Moreover, the sound quality was generally crystal-clear, effectively conveying the mix that I had dialed in.
On to the not-so-great aspects. First and foremost, the interface for both the transmitter and bodypacks is perplexing and difficult to navigate. With minimal buttons and an unusual tap-and-hold or quick tap scheme to access various commands and features, setting up both the transmitters and receivers was trying and incredibly frustrating. Moreover, the manual is pretty sparse and not very helpful, but thankfully Phenyx Pro provides a video tutorial/walkthrough that fills in many of the gaps.
Secondly, the stereo function of the PTM-10 is problematic. After successfully configuring it to stereo mode, I discovered a persistent hiss that was quite noticeable. Despite going through the various EQ functions and adjusting the mix in my DAW, the issue was still present. On a whim, I changed the unit from stereo mode to mono, which essentially eliminated the hiss. While I'm not sure what caused this problem, it seems that others have had similar experiences.
Despite the drawbacks, I do recommend the PTM-10, especially when you consider its reasonable price point and the consistently excellent customer support from Phenyx Pro. However, it does require some time and patience to set up properly, and the user interface can be very challenging to navigate. Additionally, the stereo function falls short of expectations, but I found that having a stereo mix in my ears isn't particularly crucial. Nonetheless, it's worth keeping these caveats in mind.
Recommendations: The stock earbuds/headphones that come with this unit sound very tinny and do not do a great job of attenuating noise, which if you play live with a full band means you’re not going to be able to hear your IEM mix whatsoever. So if you plan on getting this unit, also plan on getting a nicer set of sound isolating earphones/earbuds. Also, while the unit does have 4 body packs, it’s all sharing one single mix, so if you and your bandmates have very specific monitoring needs, I’d suggest just getting a separate unit for everyone (we purchased the PTM-22 and that has proven to be a fantastic addition to our live IEM setup).

Our drummer spent a small fortune on his system and tried out mine and was flown away. Our other guitarist bought one the very next day.
UPDATE:
After re-ordering a second unit, it worked fine up until today (March 08 2023) and now the receiver display just stopped working. I can’t see anything at all. I wasn’t just the back light. LED display is completely dark. I can’t change frequencies or adjust anything except power and volume. The receiver still works and produces sound but lost all adjustments without the display. Waiting to hear back from customer support to see what will happen next. More to follow.
