I lead a large 17-piece jazz band. We’re a community band with a very limited budget. Our PA is rather simple with two main speakers, and two inputs for vocals and keys. As you can imagine, a 17-piece band can be quite loud, which is problematic for our vocalist. With the main speakers doubling as vocal monitor, the struggle for the vocalist to hear herself sing is quite real.I was offered a chance to test the Phenyx Pro PTM-10 In Ear Stereo monitoring system. First, as with all Phenyx Pro products, the packaging is very nice. The PTM-10 system is housed in its own hard plastic carrying case, no need to carry around the retail package like some other products. The package includes the transmitter, receiver, antennae, batteries, earbuds, and rack mounting kit. Everything you’d need to use this product right out of the box.SETUP/TEST: Setup is extremely easy. I plugged in the transmitter, put batteries in the receiver (Bodypack), connected the transmitter to the PA, and voila, I could hear anything coming from the PA through the ear buds. The manual is nicely written. I navigated through all of the settings on the bodypack and transmitter. Changing Groups and Channels is very easy. I ran the system in stereo mode which was very nice. I did not play with the balance much as it wasn’t needed in our setup. The audio coming through ear buds was very clean. Being able to mute the body pack and adjust the volume with the body pack is a nice feature.QUALITY: The quality of all most Phenyx Products is very good. The transmitter unit is made of metal, not cheap plastic on PTM-10. Including the rubber feet to keep the unit from sliding is a nice touch. The Bodypack that came with the unit is made of plastic, but it doesn’t feel cheap. The buttons on the bodypack are responsive and very "clicky", you know you pressed the button. A nice feature is having the ability to lock the settings on the body pack so there’s no accidental changing of settings. Overall, the PTM-10 is a well-built product.VALUE: You can’t beat the value of this product. The PTM-10 is a professional level product without the professional level price tag. The value vs quality is the #1 reason to purchase this product.CUSTOMER SERVICE: The PTM-10 unit sent to me came with a defective bodypack. Anytime the antennae would get bumped, nothing but static came through the earbuds. I contacted Phenyx via email and a new bodypack was sent out within a couple days. The new Bodypack worked flawlessly. I appreciate the quick response from Phenyx Pro in getting the bodypack replaced.OVERALL: If you are in the need for an IEM system, I would highly recommend the PTM-10. It’s a quality professional product without a hefty professional price tag.

The Phenyx Pro PTM-10 is an amazing In-Ear Wireless System. For the last 4 years, I've been using a Sennheiser In-Ear System, which has been the industry standard go-to for wireless IEMS.The Phenyx Pro performed as well as the Sennheiser which is 5x the cost with a few minor areas that could use improvement. I've used the Phenyx system over the last month without any dropouts or interference. The system I'm running is in the 900mhz range and it delivers clear and great sound quality. Some of my bandmates were using the Sennheiser system in the 500mhz range and experienced some dropouts and static, it's known the 500mhz range is a lot more crowded. If you find a clear channel you should be good to go with either system. Once you set the channel syncing the belt packs to the transmitter takes seconds and is seamless.One area that could be improved on the Phenyx Pro System is the ability to do an auto scan for a clear channel, this is not a current function of the system, and as a user, you need to try different channels till you find a clear one. The Sennheiser has this feature. I didn't have an issue finding a clear channel, but this would be a great feature to implement.The bodypack on the Phenyx Pro system is plastic making it lighter weight. The build quality feels sturdy. I would love it if in future versions the bodypack casing was made of metal as this gives more peace of mind regarding its durability and a more pro feel.I love that the PTM-10 is stereo and it's one of the few in this price range with this ability. Having the option of a stereo mix is great to bring more depth and realism to the IEM mix. I'm currently using the system in mono mode, and panning the belt packs Left and Right so that I have two separate mono mixes per transmitter. This allows me to run 8 separate mono mixes and fit 4 transmitters in a 2U space. I like this system so much I'm running it for everyone in the band now.One note on panning L/R there is a very slight bleed, I mean very slight, you have to be in a completely silent room to hear it, really not an issue because the stage bleed is way louder. I usually like a little stage sound so I'm not totally isolated. You will not hear the mix changing if you use the unit for two separate mono mixes.The earbuds provided provide clear sound and great bass. If you're playing pro gigs you probably have custom-molded earbuds or buds with multiple drivers, this improves the audio quality and takes the system to a whole new level. The ones provided are adequate to keep in the case for backups in case a band member forgets to bring theirs. I highly recommend that you use upgraded earbuds to maximize the sound quality of the system.To maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, I recommend keeping the pad switched off on the back of the unit and setting the volume knob on the front to ¾ to fully up, this will drive the system with the maximum signal. If set this way the volume knob on the belt back will mostly be set at a quarter or halfway up and this will be plenty loud enough, and deliver clear audio. If not set properly the system can have a low-level hiss, because the belt back needs to be turned way up to get the sound loud enough, this happens on all systems if you're not driving them properly.Another observation is that the power switch on the unit does not stay on if power is removed. If you power your rack on and off with a powerstrip, the PTM-10 units will need to be powered on individually every time the power is switched.Like I said earlier in this review, I'm now running this system for all of my band members. I also purchased a system to add to my solo gig rack as I sit in with various bands and having my own IEM system on every gig has been a game changer. I would recommend this system to anyone who is looking to get wireless IEMs. It can't be beat for the price-to-quality ratio, you can spend more but it's not necessary to have a quality system and the ability to hear yourself anywhere on the stage.A+ Highly Recommended.

El empaque muy bien es un plus que incluye su estuche, pero lo más importante es que funciona excelente una calidad de sonido sin queja el ruido de fondo es muy bajo casi imperceptible el volumen tiene mucho rango lo probé en stereo y funciona sin problema, solo lo he probado en casa pero con eso puedo decir que el equipo tiene un desempeño ideal ya que no sufrí pérdida de señal ni ruidos o interferencias incluyendo paredes , techo y caminando por el patio con el transmisor en el 2do piso, estuve probando con las pilas incluidas por alrededor de 2 horas y el indicador de batería seguía mostrando al 100%. Super Recomendado.

Cumple con la función para lo que es, lo único que quiero es moverle la frecuencia porque tengo dos microfonos inalambricos más, entonces se genera interferencia, de manera que sí logro cambiarle de frecuencia al al receptor, pero al body pack no lo puedo enlazar a la frecuencia que le moví al receptor. Pero mientras no tenga interferencia todo excelente. Los audifonos que trae estan bien cumplen, ya es gusto de cada quien si desea ponerle otros de más calidad o más cómodos que se metan al oído.

Excelente producto ampliamente recomendado

Works flawlessly, you have a good distance before you loose signal. The sounds his great, 3 possibled adjustment. I use it for practice and show. Can be strero or two pack mono. It's a great buy
