Hey Cleveland, second time watching. I'm following up to see your performance review on the Phenyx Pro PTU-5000. Great review. I'm going to check out your review of the Pro PTU-7000 before deciding.

@DarrylJordanofficial 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the review. The probably fixed the problems you talked about. I will purchase to see if the mic problem is fixed

@joshedwardsOTR 4 жыл бұрын

So for this system, your gripe about the display always being on, the display on the mics is not a real display. It’s a sticker with a backlight, so of course the “display” is gonna keep showing. Also, to turn these off completely you just hold the power button instead of just pushing it once.

Wow, i rarely saw a pro like you talk about that topic. Very interesting 👍 Another great brand for budget Mics is Tonor. I recently bought a set of 2 Mics and one Receiver for 80€ and it works perfect for me (80feet range, a properly placed standbyknop, no issues whatsoever)

I have 2 sets of PTU-71 from Phenix. Second set i got with a lapel mic for ceremonies and i have to say, i love my mics. I use them even for Karaoke, church masses, and they have never failed me. I don't envy people spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on Shure and Sennheiser products when these bad boys do the same thing at a fraction of the price. As for the power button issue, the PTU-71 have the button placement on the outside. So i recommend those.

When setting up, I forgot to attach the antenna. When I connected them, I got a tiny amount of feedback. Strange. Taking this unit out into the wild on Friday.

Hey Cleveland, cycling back to this video. Looking at getting a new mic and was debating whether to stick with Phenyx or go with something like the Shure SLXD. I’m a young solo op so wanting to get the best bang for the buck. Would you possibly be able to do a review of the PTU-71 or PTU-2U/1U?

@littlecncshop 4 жыл бұрын

The screens on the mic are stickers. So it will never be off. That’s why you can still see it when you turn it off. You will also see you have a full signal even with the receiver off, and a full battery even if it’s dead.

Great review but one correction. I have this product and I thought the same thing about on/off button. It does in fact turn the mic off. What looks like the screen is still on but not illuminated is actually just a pre printed stencil. If you remove the batteries you will see that the indicator still looks like it is on. Hours or days later it still looks like it’s on even with the batteries removed. What you’re seeing is a dummy stencil since nothing ever changes on a fixed frequency microphone. The batteries probably were dead because they are a cheap brand. This is a long comment but just wanted everyone to know that the on/off switch really does turn off the mic.

Cleveland Terry Bowens it’s a cost saving measure to make it look like there’s a real display. Because it’s fixed frequency, it doesn’t need a real one. And instead of putting some cheesy colored band around it, this allows you to see which frequency that mix uses.

When you shut the mic off or get out of range to you get white noise? or does the receiver auto mute? That's the only thing about some lower end systems. Even after you find a clean channel some lower end Sennheisers and other brands will go to white noise when out of range.

Hi Terry, fantastic review. Clear, honest and fair. I'm thinking of buying as a back-up for my BLX (Sorry bruv...but I love my BLX...however you can still slap my mama if that makes you feel better!! :-) . By the way, some companies would take issue with 'everything made in China is the same'. As I understand it the 'quality' companies (e.g. ADJ) use Chinese companies and oblige them to comply certain quality controls for all components. Whereas others just take any old components/products off the shelf and re-badge.

DirtyCuttinScoundrel I have the Gemini system you are speaking of. Ran it for 4 years now. I have had an oak tree between me and the ceremony (not my choice BTW) and at 150 ft away. I had a US Navy vocalist sing the star spangled banner to 300 navy personnel. I have had them dropped, carried around by drunken guests long after the speeches. And they still work after four years. The only thing I don’t like it the possibility of a guest changing the channels by accident. Two buttons, one to turn on -off-or hold, and the 2nd to change channels. Has not happened yet, but I still warn speakers to avoid touching that button. I would avoid 4 mics for $200. I think there is a sharp drop off in quality below this Gemini set of two mics and receiver.

It's not the quality or the name that makes them expensive, it's the VHF range, yes you can get good sounding quality mics for a cheaper price. That's great if you wanna use them in one permanent location, but if you are traveling around (like a mobile DJ or a touring events company) it's worth paying the extra price for the VHF range. A cheaper mic will is more likely to be affected by interference, if it's next to a Arial tower, a higher priced mic will have a wider VHF range to change frequencies.

@Xenomorph358 4 жыл бұрын

Bit of error there dude.... you hold the power button down to turn it off not just pressing it. You hold it to turn it on. You press the button once to turn the LCD light off. You hold the button again to turn the entire microphone off. Might want to explain that in a pinned comment otherwise people will get the wrong idea.

Allan Reiss while the upper levels of Chauvet products (Chauvet pro etc) may operate with higher standards, a lot of the Chauvet DJ, which I consider the lower tier are clearly 1 to 1 copies with other companies. I did not say who copied who, just there are many fixtures that are the same. So either adj is copying Chauvet or Chauvet is copying them or they’re buying from the same Chinese manufacturers and they are not telling you they sold the same product you had an exclusive on to A competing company.

How do you know they are not? I am not saying they are or are not, but your statement is no different unless you have information showing otherwise. It is not uncommon for Company A to sell a product that is similar or exactly the same as Company B but markets itself better than B so you think it is better... and most likely more expensive. And of course, there are companies like Sure who make a great product (from Mexico and China) but they are a certified manufacturer and work hard to maintain their reputation.
