I run an Amphitheater on the beach in South Florida and recently converted my stage over to all IEM.Running 5 shows a week, I had previously been running Sennheiser G3 systems, which worked well, however; these systems were in the 500mhz bandwidth which is extremely congested in my area so drop outs have plagued the system. (no antennae combiner 👎🏼).Figured I’d try the Phenyx Pro in 900mhz for the frequency, and cost.First of all the cost:Sennheiser systems are $1100, packs are $500. Replacing a busted pack when a careless musician drops or loses your pack isn’t fun.$225 for a system, and $69 for a Phenyx pack? Much easier to swallow.The pack is plastic, which kind of works in my favor considering I’m directly on the beach and the salt ait and humidity just disintegrates metal, so yeah…. Let’s try this thing.Ease of use:In my experience, Musicians don’t generally learn gear other than the instruments they play. So, ease of use is important here.Previously I would recommend the Shure systems to most as they are so much easier to configure than the Sennheiser which gets confusing and allows too many options which tend to result in issues when usees don’t understand what they’re changing. Not everyone wants to be a tech head, they wanna turn it on and go - maybe push a button every now and then to fix an issue, but menus and menus don’t do well with someone trying to concentrate on a performance.This Phenyx system is straight forward, select the frequency and go, very much like the Shure.Not a lot you can screw up here, and with the frequency range being 900mhz, much easier to find a free channel than the Sennheiser or Shure (both being in the 450-600mhz range).Frequency:900mhz is far less congested than 450-600mhz, and for god sake please stop buying those 2.4ghz things…..Sound quality:On par with my Sennheiser G3, but without the interference so even better, flawless sound!I’ve done 4 shows with the PTM-10 so far this week and have questioned each musician who has used the pack and they’ve been so happy that two have purchased their own already.Range:I tested the pack out to front of house and was able to get signal 150’ back from the stage but there were drop outs at that point. As long as you have a clean frequency, range will not be an issue on stage and you’ll be safe going down into the audience a bit - you’ll most likely wanna pop them out anyway at that point but just in case you shouldn’t have issues within sight of the transmitter.Reliability….In my case, I’m using this nightly and giving it to people who probably don’t care to be too careful since it’s not their gear so I’m worried about the antennae as it’s pretty flimsy and I can see it getting yanked out or broken off. So, I’ve opted to put two pieces of heat shrink to reinforce it a bit which I believe will help.It’s been dropped twice already, unscathed.Phenyx has a 1 year warranty though so I feel comfortable for the next year.I’ve found nothing negative about the PTM-10, nothing.It’s easier to use than the more expensive systems, it sounds just as good, and it has less flaws due to the frequency group (in my case / location).Hopefully Phenyx will release an IEM antennae combiner system, so I can have a rack of their IEM’s without worry!

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.

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.

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 wiring is nice and thick compared to the old wiring I had. And it was nice and flat so easy to hide while running it to my surround. I ended up not having enough for all 6 of my speakers so will be buying more soon.

Works great and it blends in when using for wall height speakers

I am an electric bass player (5 string) and am not a professional musician by any stretch, but have had the pleasure of playing out at wineries, private events, and at my home church. I've played with groups as small as just me and an acoustic guitarist up to a full band with drums, keys, acoustic guitar, two electric guitars, and three vocalists. I have used stage monitors, wired in-ears, and wireless in-ears throughout the last few years of playing live.Like most musicians, I much prefer to use in-ear monitors so I can hear exactly what I need in order to play my part in the group. There is no question that wired is the most reliable connection and, typically, the best way to get full range audio into one's ears (depending on the range of audio the connected equipment can pass). However, wired in-ears may not always be the best solution for every circumstance. Once a musician begins to move around while playing, wireless monitoring starts to become the best way to hear what is needed. Enter the Phenyx Pro PTM-10.Packaging:The PTM-10 system came well packaged and was free of any damage. The system itself was nestled inside a nicely cushioned travel case. The travel case is not as robust as a Gator or SKB case, but more than adequate for a system at this price point. It is a nicety that it came with a travel case at all! The travel case with the system nestled inside was packed inside a fairly robust cardboard box decorated with Phenyx Pro labeling. That box was inside another plain box, which is what you see when it arrives to you. Well done on the packaging!System Components:I don't need to go into a lengthy description of every item inside the travel case since you can easily see that on the item listing. I will simply say that the fact Phenyx Pro included some ear buds and a rack mount tells me they care about the customer and want them to be able to get set up and using this system quickly without having to seek out extra accessories to make it work. Batteries were even included for the wireless receiver. Again, well done Phenyx Pro!Set Up:Set up of the PTM-10 system was very easy. Now, I've set up several other wireless in-ear systems over the years, so that bit of experience may have made this setup less intimidated without reading every word in the manual (plus, aren’t manly men NOT supposed to read manuals??). I did the responsible thing and consulted the manual in order to understand all the buttons, menus, and features. After a brief scan of the manual I was off and running. In my use case, I am routing out of an analogy Yamaha mixer via it’s Aux 1 and Aux 2 outputs (1/4” connections). I then have two 1/4" x XLR (male x male) cables that each plug into the back of the PTM-10’s left and right XLR inputs (Aux 1 is being used as the ‘left’ stereo channel with Aux 2 being used as the ‘right’ stereo channel). Note that the only two things I have coming into the mixer are a left and right (stereo) mix (1/4” left RCA and 1/4" right RCA coming from an external USB DAC from my computer and an XLR coming in from my Sansamp Bass DI. I then installed the included AA batteries into the wireless receiver and plugged in the transmitter to an available 120v outlet on my Furman power conditioner. I powered on the transmitter and powered up the wireless receiver. Next, I utilized the ‘set’ button on the transmitter to cycle through all the available menu options listed on the transmitter’s front screen. I made sure the system was set to ‘stereo’ and proceeded to set the unit to transmit on Group 6, Channel 1. After selecting that transmission channel, I pushed the ‘set’ button until I saw the transmitter’s screen indicate the sync motion. Once that began, I simply held up the wireless receiver to the transmitter’s screen and both units synced together. Very simple and effective!Use and Comments:I found the PTM-10 very pleasing to use. I used my Westone AM Pro 30 wired earbuds to test the unit. I use these regularly and am familiar with their audio characteristics. I commenced playing some music tracks from the connected PC and played along with my bass guitar. The frequency response of the PTM-10 is 60 Hz - 16 Khz. I thought maybe I would miss some of the low end of the bass. However, my bass sounded fantastic through the PTM-10! One could argue that the PTM-10 should be full spectrum, but the point of the system is for wireless monitoring. The sound quality was perfectly fine for that use. Even the low B string on my bass sounded great. Everything I needed to hear was present.I then took the unit to my church to test out while playing two Sunday services with the full band. At church there are several wireless microphones, wireless guitar systems, and wireless in-ear monitoring systems. There are also LED up lights and other LED stage lights. I hooked up everything and turned on the system. One thing the PTM-10 does not do is ‘auto scan’ the available frequencies to find a ‘clear’ frequency. I had to go through all the Groups and Channels to find the best one to use. Because my church has a lot of wireless already being used, I was only able to find two frequencies that worked well-enough to use. They were very clear most of the time, but every five to six minutes I would get a bunch of static that lasted for maybe 15 to 20 seconds. I never could figure out what was going on there, but it was not enough to make me unplug the system and go direct wired.Final Thoughts:I believe the PTM-10 is a fine product for the money. I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone needing a wireless in-ear monitoring system that is on a budget. It is perfect, no. The frequency response is not full-range but is not intended to deliver pristine, high-quality audio. It is a monitoring system and is more than adequate to deliver what one needs to hear musicians and vocalists in order to play or sing along with accuracy. It is simple to use and the wireless syncing of the transmitter to the wireless receiver is a huge nicety. There was plenty of headroom, so volume was never an issue. I wish I knew where the random static/crackling came from while at church. I did not have that issue at home. If you cannot afford a digital wireless in-ear system, I highly recommend the PTM-10.Great job Phenyx Pro!

It is simple to use and the wireless syncing of the transmitter to the wireless receiver is a huge nicety. There was plenty of headroom, so volume was never an issue.

I am an electric bass player (5 string) and am not a professional musician by any stretch, but have had the pleasure of playing out at wineries, private events, and at my home church. I've played with groups as small as just me and an acoustic guitarist up to a full band with drums, keys, acoustic guitar, two electric guitars, and three vocalists. I have used stage monitors, wired in-ears, and wireless in-ears throughout the last few years of playing live.Like most musicians, I much prefer to use in-ear monitors so I can hear exactly what I need in order to play my part in the group. There is no question that wired is the most reliable connection and, typically, the best way to get full range audio into one's ears (depending on the range of audio the connected equipment can pass). However, wired in-ears may not always be the best solution for every circumstance. Once a musician begins to move around while playing, wireless monitoring starts to become the best way to hear what is needed. Enter the Phenyx Pro PTM-10.Packaging:The PTM-10 system came well packaged and was free of any damage. The system itself was nestled inside a nicely cushioned travel case. The travel case is not as robust as a Gator or SKB case, but more than adequate for a system at this price point. It is a nicety that it came with a travel case at all! The travel case with the system nestled inside was packed inside a fairly robust cardboard box decorated with Phenyx Pro labeling. That box was inside another plain box, which is what you see when it arrives to you. Well done on the packaging!System Components:I don't need to go into a lengthy description of every item inside the travel case since you can easily see that on the item listing. I will simply say that the fact Phenyx Pro included some ear buds and a rack mount tells me they care about the customer and want them to be able to get set up and using this system quickly without having to seek out extra accessories to make it work. Batteries were even included for the wireless receiver. Again, well done Phenyx Pro!Set Up:Set up of the PTM-10 system was very easy. Now, I've set up several other wireless in-ear systems over the years, so that bit of experience may have made this setup less intimidated without reading every word in the manual (plus, aren’t manly men NOT supposed to read manuals??). I did the responsible thing and consulted the manual in order to understand all the buttons, menus, and features. After a brief scan of the manual I was off and running. In my use case, I am routing out of an analogy Yamaha mixer via it’s Aux 1 and Aux 2 outputs (1/4” connections). I then have two 1/4" x XLR (male x male) cables that each plug into the back of the PTM-10’s left and right XLR inputs (Aux 1 is being used as the ‘left’ stereo channel with Aux 2 being used as the ‘right’ stereo channel). Note that the only two things I have coming into the mixer are a left and right (stereo) mix (1/4” left RCA and 1/4" right RCA coming from an external USB DAC from my computer and an XLR coming in from my Sansamp Bass DI. I then installed the included AA batteries into the wireless receiver and plugged in the transmitter to an available 120v outlet on my Furman power conditioner. I powered on the transmitter and powered up the wireless receiver. Next, I utilized the ‘set’ button on the transmitter to cycle through all the available menu options listed on the transmitter’s front screen. I made sure the system was set to ‘stereo’ and proceeded to set the unit to transmit on Group 6, Channel 1. After selecting that transmission channel, I pushed the ‘set’ button until I saw the transmitter’s screen indicate the sync motion. Once that began, I simply held up the wireless receiver to the transmitter’s screen and both units synced together. Very simple and effective!Use and Comments:I found the PTM-10 very pleasing to use. I used my Westone AM Pro 30 wired earbuds to test the unit. I use these regularly and am familiar with their audio characteristics. I commenced playing some music tracks from the connected PC and played along with my bass guitar. The frequency response of the PTM-10 is 60 Hz - 16 Khz. I thought maybe I would miss some of the low end of the bass. However, my bass sounded fantastic through the PTM-10! One could argue that the PTM-10 should be full spectrum, but the point of the system is for wireless monitoring. The sound quality was perfectly fine for that use. Even the low B string on my bass sounded great. Everything I needed to hear was present.I then took the unit to my church to test out while playing two Sunday services with the full band. At church there are several wireless microphones, wireless guitar systems, and wireless in-ear monitoring systems. There are also LED up lights and other LED stage lights. I hooked up everything and turned on the system. One thing the PTM-10 does not do is ‘auto scan’ the available frequencies to find a ‘clear’ frequency. I had to go through all the Groups and Channels to find the best one to use. Because my church has a lot of wireless already being used, I was only able to find two frequencies that worked well-enough to use. They were very clear most of the time, but every five to six minutes I would get a bunch of static that lasted for maybe 15 to 20 seconds. I never could figure out what was going on there, but it was not enough to make me unplug the system and go direct wired.Final Thoughts:I believe the PTM-10 is a fine product for the money. I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone needing a wireless in-ear monitoring system that is on a budget. It is perfect, no. The frequency response is not full-range but is not intended to deliver pristine, high-quality audio. It is a monitoring system and is more than adequate to deliver what one needs to hear musicians and vocalists in order to play or sing along with accuracy.

Decent cable but as wilth all flat cables its a problem to bend around corners when flat under carpet is in my instillation, feels well made, strips back easy with my CK strippers and one side printed to enable easy differentiation between positive and negative. However it's not white as I thought, its beige. I've just checked advert and it actually doesn't say what colour it is, will have to paint over it now where it goes up wall to speakers. Also it's pure copper

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.

Me simplifica mucho el cableado, sobre todo cuando son muchas bocinas como un sistema de teatro en casa

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.

Excelente sistema de monitoreo economico, es mi primer sistema de monitoreo y la verdad quedé sorprendido con la calidad. Puedo decir que para mejorar el sonido, usen unos inears mejores como unos Kz o Shure o superiores, ya que los que trae no tienen muy buen sonido. Solo un detalle, el estuche es muy sencillo (plastico) aun así se agradece que lo traiga para su fácil transporte, por esa misma razón se me quebró uno de los seguros del estuche. También el BodyPack se siente algo sencillo, pero hasta el momento, todo perfecto.

Es un sistema de gama baja, pero la verdad es que tiene muy buena respuesta. La diferencia la notarias si agregas unos InEars mas profesionales, tipo Shure o unos SAM Audio, que son de excelente calidad y la verdad es que no le piden nada a los sistemas carísimos de otros fabricantes. Por ser enviados desde USA, tardó un poco en llegar pero llegaron enteros y sin contratiempo. El case que viene ayuda a que el equipo se proteja super bien.

Smooth order, good product

By far the cheapest flat wire I could find, and doesn't require special, expensive adapters. While it's flat, it is standard wire inside that can be inserted directly into speakers, and it was actually quite easy to strip the tips with a standard wire stripper. Another great item from Monoprice, I was able to run this under a rug without being able to feel it when stepped on, unlike regular, 16 gauge speaker wire. Also ran it up a couple walls to surround speakers and its hardly noticeable, lays nicely flat and adhered with some archival double sided tape for now. My only 'complaint' is tht this doesn't seem to come in white, but the ivory is close enough for my needs and actually worked out better for my off-white walls.
