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

As a performing musician who runs multiple wireless mics and in-ear systems, the Phenyx Pro PAS-225X has been a total game changer for my live setup! This unit delivers rock-solid signal distribution, clean reception, and zero dropouts—even in crowded RF environments. The active directional antennas make a huge difference, pulling in a strong, stable signal from across the stage with no interference or noise. Setup was a breeze. The rackmount unit feels solid and professional, with clear labeling and quality connectors. I love that it includes all the accessories you need—BNC cables, power supply, and antennas—so you’re ready to go right out of the box. The build quality is excellent, and the signal amplification is consistent and transparent, maintaining full frequency clarity across all channels. During live shows, I noticed zero lag and crystal-clear transmission for both vocals and instruments. It really tightened up my rig and cleaned up my wireless setup, reducing clutter while improving reliability. The Phenyx Pro PAS-225X performs like gear twice its price—dependable, clean, and perfect for musicians, DJs, and sound engineers who want a pro-level wireless system that just works.

I was having some very irritating problem with interference to the wireless mics in our church. I've changed frequencies more times than I can count, but still kept having problems. This distribution system has helped a great deal. We have now gone three weeks without a single glitch. Other companies sell a similar product (for quite a lot more money), but I thought I'd take a chance with this. I'd used some of their wireless mics in another project and was pleasantly surprised at how well. they worked, and how well they were built. This has turned out to be a great investment. Some other reviews say the mounting hardware for the antennas is flimsy. Maybe so, and that might be a problem if you were setting them up and tearing them down every day, but this is a fixed installation and they are fine. It comes with all the cables you need to hook up five diversity microphones, which made setting it up very easy. Our mics are now clear of annoying noises and drop outs. Just what I was looking for.

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.

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.

I rarely leave reviews, but I know many people might be hesitant to consider this system compared to more expensive options. I have to tell you: this works very well. I tested it in a school auditorium on mic stands for a week and was pleasantly surprised by its solid performance. It worked so well that I had the units permanently installed using wall mounts and even bought a second set for a mobile setup.

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.
