Phenyx Pro PAS-225X UHF Wireless Antenna Distribution System Bundle, Active Directional Receivers w/ 8 Outputs + 2 Cascade Ports, 160ft Long Coverage, Wireless Mic Antenna for Stages and Live Shows

We've had ours for about a year, and it's performed well. Ours is in a mobile rack unit and has been exposed to all seasons of weather, from below freezing to significant heat. So far no issues to speak of. Given the price you are paying, it's hard to argue with what Phenyx Pro is offering here. With that being said, there are three things I wish they would do for either a revision or future model.1. For those that use these outdoors (like us), the antennas can get blown around quite a bit by wind. Many other manufacturers specifically make their antennas with cutouts to reduce the chance that the paddles turn into sails.2. A power switch is, in my opinion, unnecessary on a unit like this and should be removed. All it does is increase the chance that the unit gets accidentally turned off. They should take a cue from Shure and just make the unit be on as long as it has mains power.3. I love that the AC input is threaded for a locking connector. What I don't love is that it doesn't actually come with a locking AC adapter. Just include a locking power adapter. Again, for those of us that use these in mobile racks, it's an absolute must.

These have been working well for my band. It's extended the range and reliability of our wireless mics. The cables attaching the fins to the rack unit are cheap and break very easily.You can either be very careful or just replace those cables.The case to protect the fins is pretty decent. Fine for a trailer, maybe not for a flight.To sum up, not an amazing unit, but it IS amazing at this price point.

Great product. I like that it can be used as a power distribution as well. I have two units to run 16 mics in total. The cascading function works great. No dropouts and easy to set up.

Great with a few minor gripes.We just bought two of these to clean up our equipment rack. I wish Phenyx sold on Amazon a version without the antennas. In our case we needed a second unit but had to buy it from the Phenyx online store because we didn't want to spend money on paddles we wouldn't use.Units works great in cascade mode; we're currently using x8 true diversity Sennheiser microphones, analogue and digital, as well as a PTU-7000 kit from Phenyx. We used the cascade ports on the second unit with BNC splitters to serve the x4 antenna inputs for the PTU-7000. So we're technically running 12 mics on 2 combiners and 2 antennas.All radios except the PTU-7000 receive their power from the DC output jacks on the combiners, so no need for separate power supplies. Main power supply gets warm but not hot. Good clean power and the jacks fit securely.Has all the cables you'll need other than bulkhead adapters. Paddles work fine but we decided to use (not included) 1/2 wave antennas since the rack is on stage and we might overload the receivers.Noticeable range improvement and lower noise floor. Have yet to hear any artifacts other than occasionally at long ranges or if there's obstructions.Gripes:Power supply has a 3-prong AC input on the adapter brick, but the cable supplied has a 2-prong mains connection. I swapped out the cable for a proper AC cable but the power supply might not grounded - the ground pin might not connect to anything internally inside the power brick. Seems like an oversight.Power connection on the rack unit is threaded as if it could accept a locking power supply connector, but the one shipped just has a barrel connection with no locking mechanism. It fits securely anyway but wish it could lock. For a permanent install like ours it's not a huge deal.No included bulkhead adapters. Luckily I had some spares.Unit seems to be a fraction of an inch taller than 1u so I had to loosen up the other equipment before I was able to slide this into the open slot.

Works perfect with the microphone set I purchased.

The PAS-225 is an amazing additional piece when it comes to extending your signal for your other Phenyx Pro Wireless Mic Systems. I used it on several of the systems that I have and it worked like a charm. The range that it adds and the clarity is phenomenon. I am beyond pleased with this product. If you're thinking about getting something that will boast your signal in a major way, the PAS-225 is it. Thanks, Phenyx Pro for making a great product!!!

Our church seats about 350 people. A few of us work for a church install company, so we are not new to RF antennas and wireless systems. The church is growing fast, so when we saw this unit for about a quarter of the price of the RF Venue and Shure systems, we were very excited. Unfortunately this unit just does not perform nearly as well as the expensive units. We have tried different antenna amplification levels, but we cannot get this system to perform better than the stock Shure antennas.Also, if you go to the Phenyx website on your phone and add any item to your cart, your email address is automatically added to their email newsletter without your permission and they send you ads, even if you don't enter your email address anywhere.Overall, just stay away from this. If your goal is to have a solid RF signal for your mics, save up and get the RF Venue or Shure units.
