Buen producto

Let me preface this by saying I am a professional karaoke host and also I already own the 5000 series of the phenyx wireless systems.For home use and for musicians these can be a great choice. Feels like they are built solid. Battery use is good, range and reception so far is excellent. I have these in a closed rack box with no line of sight and they worked flawlessly for 50feet out which is as far as I used them. Sound quality is good, I noticed a little bit of tininess but overall very good sound at this price point.These are very similar to the 5000 series with the following exceptions, the 5000 series has fixed frequencies the 7000 has auto scan which can steer around interference issues if encountered (one of the reasons I spent more for this set). Now for the gripes. The other difference between these sets is the display on the microphones themselves and the on/0ff button. The mics from both sets look really similar and I would venture to say they have the same heads in them, but for some reason, imagined or perceived the 7000 sounded a slight bit tinny in some instances whereas the 5000 sounded flawless imo. The main nag on this setup is the display and on/off switch, for karaoke events it is awful. This is why... I'm assuming the mic display goes dark to save power but this is bad news because some guests will get the mic and think that it is off and they have to switch it on. If they hit the switch they have muted the mic and I have to restart their song and fix it for them. This happened a half dozen times the first night I used them. It is also confusing should you mute them, because a single tap mutes and un mutes and a long hold turns off. So someone not familiar is not going to understand that. And it is a button, where an up/down type switch is usually up is on and down is off. Easy peasy. The 5000 series has the display on the whole time and my battery life is fine and the switch on the 5000 series in a really inconspicuous hard to find place, which is excellent because my patrons won't fool with it.My other gripe is this, and this applies to more than just phenyx. If you are going to build a rack mountable unit for transport (appreciated, thank you) then you should mount the antenna on the front of the unit. Unless you use an extremely thin profile rack (effects style rack) the antenna will be trapped midway back in your rack box. This requires either custom mounting the unit midway back so the antenna can hang out the back of the box or just burying it and hoping for optimal reception or not mounting it at all. I have made it work with ingenuity but, boy it sure would be nice to take it out of the box and mount it and be good to go. Even if you have a shallow effects style rack box you will need to leave the back open which can be unsightly with wires and mayhem. I have one zipper style rack bag that I can partially zip up to hide but if it was on the front I could keep the back closed and mount it on any depth rack case. The antenna are removable should it conflict with the front cover of your case you can take them off to transport.For me, I think next time I will get another 5000 series. I would doubt I would get interference in any situation that would run across all 4 mic channels though you would be vulnerable for that happening or creating unwanted interference during a given performance. Except for the auto scan feature I found the 5000 series to be better at $100 less.

I bought these to replace my VocoPro UHF-5800 microphones. I needed microphones which allowed me to scan for available frequencies, and these did the trick. When I arrive at the venue, I easily scan on each channel and have an interference-free experience from there.Battery Life:I am a DJ/KJ. I host karaoke at a local bar every Friday night. The show last 4.5 hours. Then, I volunteer to host karaoke at a local assisted living facility for two hours every Sunday afternoon. On Friday nights, there are roughly 50-55 performances using the exact same microphone. I do not turn off or mute the mics between performances. That being said, I can go three weeks without having to replace the batteries. Previous reviews had me worried about battery life, but the price point made me pull the trigger anyway. I'm so glad I did.Sound Quality:Honestly, the sound quality is comparable to my Shure SM58s and my Shure B87A microphones. Absolutely excellent. Robust lows and crisp highs.Durability:They have a solid build quality. I'm interested to see how the on/off/mute button holds up over time, but it's still too early to tell at this point.

I will add a longer review very soon with video. Phenyx sent me a unit to review and I was able to do initial tests on it before an event, running into a behringer x32 rack. I did not get any interference, although changing frequencies is very easy- you select a preset, then just sync to the mic by holding the infrared window by the transmitter. The sennheiser systems I had on the same gig had to be rescanned more than once- this was on the upper west side of manhattan at an event space, and the sennheisers are in the 516-555mhz range as well.The Phenyx mics sounded great, nice warm, balanced sound for speaking. I don’t sing (Unless I need to clear a room), but I can’t imagine they would do poorly with singing. I prefer the sound of the Phenyx mic to an sm58, which is generally my last favorite mic to use for anything. It’s ok, no need for pitchforks, I never stop anyone else from using them and I will if I have to.Next month I have a few events where there will be used for audience questions, so I will have more to add based on real world usage. As an aside though, a group of loud, energetic teenagers used these for karaoke at our house tonight for their New Years party and they loved them.For $250, these are phenomenal, and they are great regardless of price.More details and video to come. And as Phenyx can attest, I have been bet honest with them in my feedback. I will not post a review saying I like something or that it is good if it is not, and they have taken suggestions for improvements on other products I’ve tested really well. I have no suggestions for improvement on these, they work really well.

The build quality is solid. The transmission is clear. The auto scan feature is unheard of excellence. The mics are a little long and heavy but the build is good as mentioned. I expected the buttons to be cheap plastic but they are a rubberized material and feel great. The IR channel setting was flawless. The 2 AA batteries insertion is well made. I would recommend not using rechargeables as they do seem to drain faster. I set these up at my church to test them and had zero cut outs, no interference, no hissing noise. The microphone sounded clear and accurate. It did seem to have just a subtle amount of compression with loud vocals but it wasn't anything to write home about. I would choose these over a set of Shure wireless mics any day given the cost to amount ratio... quite impressive honestly!
