Phenyx Pro PTM-11/PTM-22 Mono Wireless in Ear Monitor System Bodypack Receiver, Performance with Adjustable Frequencies

First let me start by saying I have a PTM 10 iem system and love it!! I received the PTM 22 yesterday. Came boxed very well. I opened the box and put the rack ears on right away as I had a gig coming up in a few hours. What better way to test a new system! I really like the simplicity of the system. The only controls are on the front of the unit. You can change group and channel numbers and then sync to the receiver pack. There's no compression or eq to mess with, and let's face it, in the world of digital mixers you can do that from there. The body packs are plastic, but feel really good. They are easy to read and the lights stay on the entire time, I really like that. On the back of the transmitter are 2, 1/4 inch inputs and outputs. This is a mono unit, but you can have a second input from your own instrument or voice and be able to control it from whatever your input is for that instrument.Now about the sound, it's crystal clear!!! I mean very very clean. There's a very small amount of white noise if you crank up the volume, but you have to really have it wide open. The much more expensive units have the same noise!! I had a sub singer with our band last night, who had just had a $1000 brand name IEM the week before, and couldn't believe the sound of the PTM 22!! She said there wasn't a difference. I had the other pac on last night and was just floored at how great the 22 sounds!! We were able to go out in the crowd and not lose signal once. Very happy about that. There wasn't any interference at all, just clean sound. I use 1.5v rechargeable batteries, they were still showing full charge at the end of the night.I am using different in ear monitors than came with the unit. I haven't tried them yet to be honest. I use the KZ JAX found here on Amazon. 8 drivers in each ear and what I get to hear is just amazing!!The PTM 11 and 22 is a wonderful IEM system. A very simple system to operate(I love that), with clear full sound. You just can't go wrong with this system or the PTM 10(full stereo, see my video on that page). I will be adding a video to this review very soon and will show how to operate the system, as well as showing it being used. You gotta get this!!!!

Setup32 channel mixer - premix sent to aux channels - each aux channel assigned to an iem for each user's own mix.Pros:Can't beat the price for the quality. Very very nice having the option of mono/stereo input as well as a passthrough for both. Love the location of the volume control knob on the receiver. Very easy for people to change on the fly not worrying about what they're pressing behind their backs. Love the amount of channels you can tune them to. With our location, this is an absolute and made it that much easier. Also, how to sync the receivers is nice as well. Makes it very easy as the the transmitter is easily accessible to our band members.ConsLine of Sight & range between transmitter and receiver makes a HUGE difference. Moved from being about 40 ft away with a direct line of sight to about 15 feet away with a direct line of sight. This being said, the signal was still clear, but at 40 ft away, with people and their devices between, there were occasional, momentary cut outs. This was after spending time finding which channel worked best using an independent signal scanner. Having moved it closer and finding the best channels again, there have been no dropouts or drop in sound quality.All in all, for a first iem system, this is amazing. The included ear buds, if you have no other option, they'll work for you. Otherwise spend about $20 more on each iem earbuds and the sound quality is amazing.

This is an amazing and affordable product for budget scenarios such as church bands, or gig bands. I purchased this product for my church's worship band and it has provided us with what we need/want. I did have a problem with one of the packs with predominantly right sided audio, but I reached out to the team at Phenyx and they sent me a new pack, no questions asked. The new one works great. The packs are super easy to sync with the transmitter unit. You will have to provide sufficient gain from your mixer as these packs run a touch quiet, (and I mean just a touch), because if you run the packs volume too high you get a hint of static when it receives a signal. Running the packs volume at around twelve o'clock you have no issues. Overall, it really is a great product and a perfect fit for most churches.

This is my second of this unit. Love em. The packs are plastic but they hold up okay. Nothing beats these for the price.
