Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024
I like to break my reviews down into categories I refer to as the P's.
PURPOSE
Simply put, reliable wireless audio on stage.
PERFORMANCE
The performance was actually great. I used this system in various situations where I’d expect for dropouts and interference to happen, but I didn’t experience either when using this system. I used it in a club with a small stage, a church with a large choir stand, and an outdoor festival with at least thousands of people. The sound was clear, the battery life was great, and I like the sturdy feel of the microphones. I didn’t experience the dropouts others have claimed happen when holding the mic a certain way.
PORTS
Two XLR Male for separate outputs, One 1/4 female for combined outputs, 4 antenna mounts, and one small barrel connector for power.
PEEVES (dislikes)
The thing I dislike most about this unit is that it doesn’t use an IEC port to supply power. I hate wall warts because they take up too much space in my rack, and I always have to sacrifice an outlet to make them fit. An IEC power connector would be better since every other unit in my rack uses them and I have plenty of extra IEC cables laying around in various lengths and angles for the perfect fit.
Also, the mics have a bright eq curve, and I found I had to roll off the highs a bit for a better mix. That eq profile may work better for people who like to eat the mic, but I prefer to use the mic about 6 to 12 inches away from my mouth for better dynamic control. When using the mics this way without rolling off the highs, I found they were more susceptible to feedback.
PRICE
The price of this unit will initially make you second guess it, BUT after doing a direct comparison with a Sennheiser unit I have that costs twice the price and is only a single handheld unit, I’ve decided to sell my Sennheiser unit. The price is excellent for what this Phenyx Pro system delivers.
