Hey Scott, would you recommend the Anleon S3 or the NUX B-7PSM? I like the simplicity of the NUX but I’m concerned that a few years down the road the rechargeable batteries might last. Thoughts? (BTW - thanks for Al the great videos!)
Great video! I bought an S3 a few weeks ago from ebay. I get about 300’ range but I can only get a maximum -16db instead of -24db attenuation. Also, I’m getting intermittent RF static even when the range is close. I got a great deal ($300CAN all in) but I’m afraid I got an older version of the S3. Do you get AF static when there’s no signal or low signal?
Yeah that’s the way wireless works in general. Normally their is a squelch setting on the higher end ones to combat that, which is really nice! That’s not included on this one
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks, this is my first wireless and I don’t have anything to compare it to. BTW, mine came with earbuds. They’re barely usable but good for a spare. Mine DOES have -24db, I just didn’t hit the button enough times. I’ll keep a close eye on my levels to keep the signal clean. Thanks to you, I won’t be tripping over my wires. If I can get my stone age band mates on ears, I’ll be sure to have them use your link.
Very cool system for 300 bucks! Wow. The videos are looking so clean lately too. The editing is on point. Great job! Did a gig a few days ago and had something happen that has never happened before with my sennheiser g3. Scanned the environment several times and had 0 "free" frequencies. I couldn't find a good channel and the interference was unbearable. Weird. That only ever happens in my bedroom. Every venue i play usually gets 10+ free frequencies. Cheers!
Thanks! And yeah that happens for me sometimes too, I will adjust the squelch level higher until I find some channels. Other times, it’s just kind of guessing until I find the one with the least amount of RF. There is one place we play sort of near the airport that I usually have trouble finding a signal
Galaxy Audio AS-950 is similar, true stereo, and supported by most commercial audio houses. Similar price, features. Built like commercial audio gear. I've used it alongside the Shure and Sennheiser systems with similar range and sound, and no cross interference. Love your reviews, they give great real world experience to calm down the manufacturer's hype.
I’ll have to check that out! I had a galaxy audio one a long time ago but I think it was in a bad frequency range because I had trouble with it. It was one of my first ones
Ordered in lazada and from china. Cost me 200usd. I plugged it in and man... wow!!! Sounds almost the same as the ew300 my boss was using. For a fraction of the price of high end iem's. No dead signal..and the sound quality is superb!!! Get one and you wont regret it.
I have some issues to ask sir scott.. everytime i plug it in , the unit is already on.. and eveytime i dial on the botton of my reciever there's a sound coming out..is it normal? But the sound is really good. Thats the only issue i have w this unit. So far been using it for a month now and it bring smile to my face.. almost the same sound as the ew300. U just need to have a good iem..
Hey Scott, thanks for the review. Because your channel giving insight into a few wireless systems, especially the inexpensive ones sure clears the decision-making aspect. I have purchased a few products you have featured in past reviews for instruments (NUX C-5RC, Phenyx PTG-11, and Sennheiser Pro G4). My band uses older Sennheiser G3 for IEM and they work well, but having access to a channel like yours is definitely a working musician's asset. Thank you very much!
Yay! I've been waiting for this video! Thanks Scoot, it looks like it suits my needs. Can I ask what's the biggest venue you have tried to use this? 😁 We're gonna have a big show in January and the floor area will be around 700-1000sqm for the venue. Do you think the S3 will still perform well in that setting? And also, did you have any sort of interference if the crowd is between the stage (receiver) and the transmitter? Thanks so much for your helpful reviews!! Stay awesome 🌞
Yup I bet this would work great with that! Probably for a few hundred people, so it worked well. Wireless mostly depends on how much wireless signal is already there. And range can be effected if there is no line of sight from the antenna to the receiver, but that’s true for basically any wireless 👍
Another great and informative video. After watching this; even though the s2 was usable in my situation, it sure sounds like the s3 is the better option. Thanks Scott!
Recently bought PoenixrPo PTM-10 in 900mhz - it's reliable and sounds good but not quite as hifi as my old Shure PSM300 that i had to sell because of digital tv stations in my area. Does anyone have opinion on Anleon S3 vs. PTM-10 for my band using 4 stereo mixes. Yes we will also but antenna combiner. Thanks for great videos Scott
thanks but S3 is just S2 with more channels, same shitty quality, microphonic effect in receiver and transmitter antenna, white noise level rises if you have ANY quiet signal and horrible expander effect. if you don't have a low shelf EQ at your aux out at 90 HZ, your kick will make EVERYTHING louder
I’ve gigged multiple times with the S3, and so have many of my band mates…. We don’t have that experience with it. Either you got a bad unit or you are very picky about your tone (nothing wrong with that). If you are picky about tone, why are you shopping in the budget isle? 🤷
Thanks for the super helpful and informative video! I’ve been on the Phenyx Pro bandwagon last several years, but am running into “popping” issues. How would you rank the Anleons even against the PP’s? Also, I’m assuming an antenna combiner is not feasible with these units?
Don't know if you have access to a PSM 300, or G2-G4 but I'd like to hear the sound quality demo of these by recording the output. That's the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger
I have the Audio Tecnica Headphone/Microphone combo unit. (BPHS1) I'd like to send Stereo from the mixers headphones jack to that TRS plug on the unit but can't find a wireless system for that. Any suggestions? (I already have a wireless system for the mic. If I can send audio to that TRS I can use the BPHS1 for my in 'ear' and be free to walk the stage and audience while being miced up as well)
You want to send a wireless signal in stereo? Like one wireless to send a stereo signal? Only thing I know that does that is this guy here: th-cam.com/video/8fBqGWfPwlU/w-d-xo.html I love it, but a lot of people have had problems with it.
Scott I purchased this about a year on your recommendation and it works great! Do you have an affiliate link to purchase an extra receiver? Thanks for all the great videos!
Thanks! And if you use any of my Amazon links to get to Amazon and then buy anything else, I actually do get credit :) I appreciate that! Glad it’s been working well for you
Loved it! I purchased the Anleon S2 yesterday based on your video and I'm excited about it, I will hopefuly get it next week. S3 looks amazing but It's out of my budget. However, I found a video of a guy building a couple simple cable adapters to get 2 mono signals with one S2 transmitter and It is as simple as just connecting both signals lines to Left or Right. That can save a lot of money as well! Thx for your reviews!
Oh interesting…. I would be very curious how that works? I don’t know how that’s possible without being able to pan on the receiver, but that’s very interesting
Great review! Beware that you can only use the 500MHz bands reliably, as the 600 band belongs to T-Mobile for their 5G network and 700 belongs to Verizon for their 4G phones. Your experience may vary.
Thank you so much for explaining the questions i had abt the S2 just still confused on where do i input the connections setup to hear myself and the music when i do solo gigs thanks for your explaining your thoughts in the S2
Again, a great review, thanks Scott! In my opinion, a massive "plus" is, that the phones-out jack is properly mounted with a nut at the housing. Shure and Sennheiser do the same, but many of the chaep systems, and, as far as I know, unfortunately audio-technica also, use a jack-out, that is NOT mounted with a nut, but instead is only soldered directly to the pcb with the socket poking through a hole in the housing. This design is cheap, but it is a nightmare, regarding reliability. It often only needs one proper pull at the cable, and the soldered connection on the pcb breaks off or the soldering pads get completely ripped off of the pcb... This became even more of a problem, after lead-free solder became standard, as this solder is more brittle than lead-solder... In my workshop, within ALL units of modern electronic, broken off connectors, pots, switches etc. that were soldered directly onto the pcb are BY FAR the most common reason for failure. It would be very interesting to have a look inside some of those transmitters, to see the design. E.g. if the jack-sockets are mounted on a small extra pcb and then are wired with small cables, a design without a nut could be fine, otherwise, imho it is really very bad design. I would particularly be interested in the internal design of the ATW3255 transmitter, as I am really interested in buying this system for my own use, but it's the design of the output jack, that I have doubts about...
Found this video after watching the last one. Thank you for giving content that is actually useful, especially for those who can't drop $1000+ out of the gate. These off top brand companies seem to be putting out great products and making them affordable enough to test the waters before thinking about or needing to upgrade to a more expensive setup. Will there be a giveaway for this system lol? Either way thanks!
I have a video about setting up a talkback mic here: 5 WAYS To Setup A TALKBACK MIC For LIVE BANDS - Complete Guide th-cam.com/video/lbilw_491NA/w-d-xo.html
I know it's not as affordable as some of these other units but I'd love to see you review the audio technica 3000 iem system the features on that system are pretty crazy
@@ScottUhlMusic the 3000 series system covers the whole legal frequency bandwidth between 450-608 at like 130 mhz has a built in network so you can use it with frequency management software like the higher end Senheiser G3/g4 and Shure PSM 900/1000 systems it has some other cool stuff but that was the biggest head turner for me
Would you recommend this system for professional vocalists? I just got my first pair of custom in ear from ultimate ears, and I am a bit lost on which transmitter/receiver to get. I want quality, but also don't want to break the bank. Thanks for your help!
“I want quality but don’t want to break the bank”… that’s a phrase I’ve found is truly meant by some and not by others. I have my buying guide here and hopefully that helps you out: th-cam.com/video/Xi2JcMomjQ0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=D5WIXMZMLfnhi_aV Thanks for watching 👍
I’m buying my first wireless IEM set soon. Would you do this or do you think the extra money is worth it for something like the AT 3200 or Sennheiser G4 system?
Thanks you for the review. Awesome! Can my band use only one transmitter or we should have one for each? Thank you. Edit: So we are 5, we'll need 3 transmitters right?
It depends if you want to share a mix or not. If you do not want to share a mix and want to use the 1 transmitter 2 receiver trick, then yeah you’ll need 3 transmitters and 5 receivers. But you can also hard wire your drummer and save a lot of money that way and just get 4 and 2 👍
I play backing tracks with my iPad. One iPad and my voice is the set up. When I connect my in ear system in aux I hear mono signal. So my backing tracks are mono in my in ears. So.. what I have to do ? To buy a stereo IEM ? Because I want to listen stereo my backing tracks.
You are sending a mono backing track from the iPad. It won’t turn to stereo if it’s mono. For stereo you’ll need a computer or an interface with two outputs in order to output stereo. Every stereo input needs two outputs and two inputs in most situations.

Nice, clear review as always, Scott. I appreciate you. Does this system do that cool thing where if you plug two lines into the back and set the transmitter to stereo, but then set the receiver to mono, you can pan between the two to sort of control your mix on stage? Like have a full mix in one, and your guitar or vocal in the other and blend the two? Thanks.
Hello Scott, thanks for your video, but I have to say do not buy S3, the stereo image sounds like crap, compared with Shure psm 300. There its not 0 dollar way, you get what you pay for simple as that when it comes so sender and receivers. I bought this S3 from your video and I was the first second disappointed.
Thanks for sharing your experience and for commenting. I will say: These are a budget IEM system. I know that can be frustrating, but it’s budget for a reason. I was really happy with these, but things are budget for a reason: th-cam.com/video/kUNBHi5F3aQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vHXPsgPkolrX9N3Y
@@astromberg5059 if you are looking for pro gear… correct, don’t buy anything budget 👍 if you are on a budget, and you are more of a hobby band, and can manage your expectations properly, then budget gear is great!
Hi Scott, I need help! I don’t know if I buy Sennheiser IEM XSW or Anleon S3, I’m from Guatemala, the prices are $815 and $375 I need your opinión, thank you so much!!!
Sennheiser will be more reliable. It depends how much you want to have reliability with your IEMs. Sennheiser will be more reliable, Anleon will save you money. Whichever one you value more, go with that one 👍
Hey, thanks for the review! So S2 does not support stereo? I've been looking for a true stereo IEM system "on a a budget" ...and the S2 goes for €180 ..but is it also true stereo?
Super useful! I did play a gig with this system and it worked extremely well. Now i'm thinking about buying one for myself. Question is: the bodypack is a little bit pricey, is it possible to use any other bodypacks, not anleon s3 branded? Does anyone know? :)
First IEM pack I’ve gotten, gotta say, after using it, it’s quality. Really easy to use and works wonderfully in stereo. No drop outs, no issues. Only concern I have is the subtle white noise it has. Has anybody else experienced that?
great content! would these bodypack receivers work at all with the sennheiser/shure transmitters? If so, would sound quality would be good enough? Thanks !
In Europe, the dedicated signal band for IEM is 863-865 Mhz. How would you use multiple transmitters within this band width to avoid interference? You are not permitted, by law, to use anything for IEM past this given band width. In this case how would you make sure to use multiple devices without interference? If you look at it this way, is there still an advantage for the S3 over the S2?
Hey buddy, you've got some great content. Thanks for doing all the research you do and for sharing that info. Have you heard of the wireless iem system? D Debra Audio PRO ER-202 It looks like it could have some potential. Cheers
Wow, that’s a pretty good price for a dual system! It’s not true stereo so no panning, but I’ll have to look into those. There are a ton of budget ones out there now.
Great stuff. Have you heard anything about Thomanns' t.bone wireless iems or anything from LD Systems. They are also pretty affordable and hard to find anything on them. Especially the t.bone iem100 or iem75.
I haven’t heard of those. There are quite a few of these cheaper ones around this price point I’m realizing. Which is great! Lots of options for people to get into IEMs
Haha man I’m getting a lot of this question! I might have to do a video on it. I think they are both fantastic. I would recommend either one for entry level wireless IEM systems
I would consider the Galaxy Audio one about the same level as this one for an entry level one. Next levels up would be Shure or sennheiser if you can afford them 👍 just my two cents
From your other videos, I think you use the XR18. Have you encountered conflicts with using your wireless in ear monitors. I am nervous about using wireless in ears for that reason.
Interference can come from many places. It’s just a new piece of equipment you need to learn. The more money you spend, the more channels/frequencies you get on your in ear monitor system. The more frequencies you have, the more likely you will not have dropouts. 👍
Does the S3 have rack mounting options? I have only seen it as a stand alone. If it is rack mountable, especially if you can attach 2 transmitters together, I will likely replace my Galaxy not true Stereo IEMs.
Hi! You recommended S3 over S2 for full band situations. I'm considering going for wireless iem, and I'm the only guy in the band to do so: others are just using wedge monitor speakers. Would I still need the pricier S3?
Hi Scott thx for this video, talking about the sound quality specifically, do you really feel the difference between stereo and mono transmitter? I mean s2 or s3? From the sound perspective
Hey Scott! Great video! I was wondering how it compared to the Phenyx Pro PTM-10 as they are similar in price. I would like to hear your thought on this! Thanks
Thanks for this, my band is picking this up. Any clue how we could rack mount it? Seems to have similar mounting points as the sennheiser G4. Hoping it can just share the space with that
Hi Scott… Thanks for the review. On the S3 how many receivers is it safe to hook up to the transmitter? We have five in our band and we're going to need to get four more receivers to go with the one already bought with the transmitter. So explain this to me please. Also… Do they have rack mountable systems?
That should be fine 👍 and I don’t know if they have a rack mount for it. But they make rack shelves if you need to Velcro it in in case it doesn’t rack. I’ve done that before
I’ve been watching for quite sometime and enjoyed it especially in educational information. Our church is looking into iem but all the big music stores pushing Sennheiser or Shure. Are they that much better as far as sound quality compared to S3?
Awesome system. Too bad I’m all set with the Phenyx Pro systems. Got a great deal from them on 3 systems with the two receivers. I should of waited for your review. Lol! Just finish building my IEM rack with Behringer Air XR18. I’ll send you a photo later. Thanks for all your info. If I need an extra one I’ll take a look at these.
Does this system have artifacts in with the guitar when you use them or are they as clear as Shure and Sennheiser IEM systems. I have the Galaxy 950 and for the money it's ok but I hear some noise along with the notes of my guitar with this system. I didn't see a review of the Galaxy on your channel.
Just played a gig last weekend in stereo from an Allen and heath 32 channel mixer. Has the typical top end hiss and compression associated with this type of wireless, but I didn’t have any dropouts or interference (I was the only one using wireless). I used the maximum amount of pad on the transmitter input so I could leave the buss output at zero db. It worked perfectly. Drummer was crazy loud. I was the only one on stage with usable monitors.
Thanks for another helpful video. I have a similar Sennheiser system and used it for a long time the way you described with two receivers panned L and R. But that system doesn't work so well anymore, and I understand it's no longer legal to be on the frequencies it uses (yes, it's old). I would consider using this system the same way, but I don't see that a second S3 receiver is readily available.
Yeah the frequency thing is annoying for sure. This is a good replacement for sure! Although the sennheiser has more features and more frequencies if it’s the ew 300. Of course, it’s also 3x the price 👍
Hey Scott, I bought the anleon s3 but i got allot of white noice on the receiver. The phones out on the transmitter is Clean as can be. Do you have the same white noice or could i have a faulty receiver?
When the volume on the receiver is in the mid setting its the cleanest. Low volume is higher volume low level noice increase en high volume is hight level noice increase
I tryed them with standaard headphones instead of my cca-c12s and its clear sound trough the receiver. It looks like the cca or the wire of the cca is the cause
There can be many reasons for getting white noise. It’s likely some sort of interference near by. I hope you tried changing channels to see if that cleared it up. If all channels give the same results, it could be the area you are in. Try changing to a different area and see if it still happens (and change channels… always change channels if you need to). And if it still is doing that, it’s likely defective.
@@ScottUhlMusic hey Scott, I checked multiple channels with and with transiever on and off. It looks like faulty wiring of my cca-c12 or the in ears itself. The anleon s3 looks to be working fine. When trying the receiver with regular headphones there was no noice. Im going to try different wiring and otherwise order new in ear monitors
Either of them are great. I honestly think both are great options. If you are on a tight budget, and are okay with doing the 2 receivers 1 transmitter setup, I would get one PP and one S3 for your band with 4 transmitters 👍
Would you mind posting the frequency of each channel available? I tried to figure out the bandwidth of each channel while watching you flip through some, but they seem to be different sizes. I have a few TV stations around that will likely ruin a lot of the 518-554 spectrum, but there are a few gaps I might be able to use.
@@ScottUhlMusic They only list ranges unfortunately. It's alright. Using the Shure site I can make a small estimate of at least a few open channels. Thanks!
thnks for the vid! Purchased the S2. I do most of solo shows with the cello (wireless) with backtracks and wanted to ask, have encountered issues with the inst transmitter/receiver (currently using Line 6 G10) being close to either the S2 trans or receiver? Thnks lml
With just two things of wireless, you shouldn’t have a problem in most situations. However the G10 is on 2.4Ghz which can have problems on its own, which is worth understanding. I go over that in this video: th-cam.com/video/RCrFKKr8WUA/w-d-xo.html
This is really a good video. Forgive my ignorance but how do I use this to play guitar? I'm not sure I understood how I musically use this wireless transmitter/receiver? Perhaps if you demonstrated it would help. If you can answer in a sentence or two, I'll much appreciate it. Thanks for the video again!
I mean... if the vocalist from Nickelback is saying this is Good, I'm buying it man! 😂

That can save a lot of money as well!
Thx for your reviews!
Oh interesting…. I would be very curious how that works? I don’t know how that’s possible without being able to pan on the receiver, but that’s very interesting
Great review!
Beware that you can only use the 500MHz bands reliably, as the 600 band belongs to T-Mobile for their 5G network and 700 belongs to Verizon for their 4G phones. Your experience may vary.
Yup that’s true, those ones are for other countries, not the USA! Currently the USA can use 470-608Mhz
Thank you so much for explaining the questions i had abt the S2 just still confused on where do i input the connections setup to hear myself and the music when i do solo gigs thanks for your explaining your thoughts in the S2
You might need to split the signal if you are playing solo, but if all depends on your setup
Again, a great review, thanks Scott!
In my opinion, a massive "plus" is, that the phones-out jack is properly mounted with a nut at the housing. Shure and Sennheiser do the same, but many of the chaep systems, and, as far as I know, unfortunately audio-technica also, use a jack-out, that is NOT mounted with a nut, but instead is only soldered directly to the pcb with the socket poking through a hole in the housing. This design is cheap, but it is a nightmare, regarding reliability. It often only needs one proper pull at the cable, and the soldered connection on the pcb breaks off or the soldering pads get completely ripped off of the pcb... This became even more of a problem, after lead-free solder became standard, as this solder is more brittle than lead-solder... In my workshop, within ALL units of modern electronic, broken off connectors, pots, switches etc. that were soldered directly onto the pcb are BY FAR the most common reason for failure.
It would be very interesting to have a look inside some of those transmitters, to see the design. E.g. if the jack-sockets are mounted on a small extra pcb and then are wired with small cables, a design without a nut could be fine, otherwise, imho it is really very bad design. I would particularly be interested in the internal design of the ATW3255 transmitter, as I am really interested in buying this system for my own use, but it's the design of the output jack, that I have doubts about...
how does the volume output from the receiver compare to the shure psm/ sennheiser systems?
I didn’t notice a difference in the volume output
I can’t even find the S3 system available anywhere
It might be sold out temporarily
Found this video after watching the last one. Thank you for giving content that is actually useful, especially for those who can't drop $1000+ out of the gate. These off top brand companies seem to be putting out great products and making them affordable enough to test the waters before thinking about or needing to upgrade to a more expensive setup. Will there be a giveaway for this system lol? Either way thanks!
Haha no giveaway for this system, I gave away the S2 though :)

Hi scott, is there a rack mount for anleon s3? How can I put it in a rack?, thanks
I believe there is a rack mount kit for it, yes. If not, there are shelves and some universal rack mount kits that can work
Pass this video on to one of my guitar players. He's thinking of coming into the world of IEMs.

Do they have ENGINEER MODE feature?
Not on this, no
I know it's not as affordable as some of these other units but I'd love to see you review the audio technica 3000 iem system the features on that system are pretty crazy
I’ll have to look into that one! My old drummer loved his AT, but I haven’t really ever used their stuff
@@ScottUhlMusic the 3000 series system covers the whole legal frequency bandwidth between 450-608 at like 130 mhz has a built in network so you can use it with frequency management software like the higher end Senheiser G3/g4 and Shure PSM 900/1000 systems it has some other cool stuff but that was the biggest head turner for me
That’s crazy! There is one by Lectrosonics that does the same. I’ll have to look into the AT one. Thanks!
Have you reviewed the D Debra 102 or 208 IEM’s? That’d be cool!
I was supposed to, but I never heard back from them
@@ScottUhlMusic I ordered it. It was like 73 bucks shipped. We shall see. I plan to go over it on my other channel. You know your stuff, man. Subbed.
@@ScottUhlMusicok here’s my second channel. Lol. Love your channel, man.
Would you recommend this system for professional vocalists? I just got my first pair of custom in ear from ultimate ears, and I am a bit lost on which transmitter/receiver to get. I want quality, but also don't want to break the bank. Thanks for your help!
“I want quality but don’t want to break the bank”… that’s a phrase I’ve found is truly meant by some and not by others. I have my buying guide here and hopefully that helps you out: th-cam.com/video/Xi2JcMomjQ0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=D5WIXMZMLfnhi_aV
Thanks for watching 👍

Can anyone vouch for the receivers being compatible with the sennheiser g4 transmitters?
I haven’t heard that
@@ScottUhlMusicYou mention it briefly at 09:51, it’s still on their website as well so just wondering if anyone has had experience with it.
I’m buying my first wireless IEM set soon. Would you do this or do you think the extra money is worth it for something like the AT 3200 or Sennheiser G4 system?
I definitely think if you can afford it, to get the higher models 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic awesome, appreciate the advice and your content brother.
Thanks you for the review. Awesome! Can my band use only one transmitter or we should have one for each? Thank you.
Edit: So we are 5, we'll need 3 transmitters right?
It depends if you want to share a mix or not. If you do not want to share a mix and want to use the 1 transmitter 2 receiver trick, then yeah you’ll need 3 transmitters and 5 receivers. But you can also hard wire your drummer and save a lot of money that way and just get 4 and 2 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic Thank you for the fast response. Rock on!
I play backing tracks with my iPad. One iPad and my voice is the set up. When I connect my in ear system in aux I hear mono signal. So my backing tracks are mono in my in ears. So.. what I have to do ? To buy a stereo IEM ? Because I want to listen stereo my backing tracks.
You are sending a mono backing track from the iPad. It won’t turn to stereo if it’s mono. For stereo you’ll need a computer or an interface with two outputs in order to output stereo. Every stereo input needs two outputs and two inputs in most situations.

Nice, clear review as always, Scott. I appreciate you. Does this system do that cool thing where if you plug two lines into the back and set the transmitter to stereo, but then set the receiver to mono, you can pan between the two to sort of control your mix on stage? Like have a full mix in one, and your guitar or vocal in the other and blend the two? Thanks.
Yup it does!
best news I’ve heard all day. I’ve got one on the way. Thank you!
Sennheiser XSW IEM ???
If you are asking if it’s a good system, then yes those are great systems too 👍
Hi Scott, would you prefer this one over the ptm 10?
I prefer the PTM 10 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic thank you!
So glad to hear you say that cause I just bought one on eBay!
Have a great weekend and I’ll go back to watching your videos.
Rack mountable?
I honestly don’t know, but if you cannot, you can always get a 1U shelf and Velcro it. I’ve done that before
Hello Scott, thanks for your video, but I have to say do not buy S3, the stereo image sounds like crap, compared with Shure psm 300. There its not 0 dollar way, you get what you pay for simple as that when it comes so sender and receivers. I bought this S3 from your video and I was the first second disappointed.
Thanks for sharing your experience and for commenting. I will say: These are a budget IEM system. I know that can be frustrating, but it’s budget for a reason. I was really happy with these, but things are budget for a reason: th-cam.com/video/kUNBHi5F3aQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vHXPsgPkolrX9N3Y
@@ScottUhlMusic Never buy any budget, you get what you pay for remember that everybody.
@@astromberg5059 if you are looking for pro gear… correct, don’t buy anything budget 👍 if you are on a budget, and you are more of a hobby band, and can manage your expectations properly, then budget gear is great!

Hi Scott, I need help! I don’t know if I buy Sennheiser IEM XSW or Anleon S3, I’m from Guatemala, the prices are $815 and $375
I need your opinión, thank you so much!!!
Sennheiser will be more reliable. It depends how much you want to have reliability with your IEMs. Sennheiser will be more reliable, Anleon will save you money. Whichever one you value more, go with that one 👍
Wowzers! That's a killer deal. Thanks.
Thanks for gr8 info. Do you have any experience with Prodipe IEM? Best regards
Thanks! And no I don’t. I haven’t heard of those
Hey, thanks for the review! So S2 does not support stereo? I've been looking for a true stereo IEM system "on a a budget" ...and the S2 goes for €180 ..but is it also true stereo?
The S2 not “true stereo” because you cannot pan. The S3 is true stereo 👍
Super useful!
I did play a gig with this system and it worked extremely well. Now i'm thinking about buying one for myself.
Question is: the bodypack is a little bit pricey, is it possible to use any other bodypacks, not anleon s3 branded? Does anyone know? :)
Nice! Glad it’s worked well for you. And you normally should use the same body pack, but it might work with others. I’m not sure
First IEM pack I’ve gotten, gotta say, after using it, it’s quality. Really easy to use and works wonderfully in stereo. No drop outs, no issues.
Only concern I have is the subtle white noise it has. Has anybody else experienced that?
“Noise” can come from so many things with iems. Try changing channels and power, and make sure that not an individual channel is sending noise
great content! would these bodypack receivers work at all with the sennheiser/shure transmitters? If so, would sound quality would be good enough? Thanks !
Thank you! And No, you should use the same transmitters and receivers with each other. Not mix and match.
Between the S3 and the Phenyx you demo’d, which do you prefer?
Thanks in advance for all your help!
They are both great. PP is battle tested for me, so I like that one a lot. Both are great for their price
In Europe, the dedicated signal band for IEM is 863-865 Mhz. How would you use multiple transmitters within this band width to avoid interference? You are not permitted, by law, to use anything for IEM past this given band width. In this case how would you make sure to use multiple devices without interference? If you look at it this way, is there still an advantage for the S3 over the S2?
You only have 2Mhz of range to use? That can’t be right. Where did you see that and for what country?
Hey buddy, you've got some great content. Thanks for doing all the research you do and for sharing that info.
Have you heard of the wireless iem system?
D Debra Audio PRO ER-202
It looks like it could have some potential.
Cheers
Wow, that’s a pretty good price for a dual system! It’s not true stereo so no panning, but I’ll have to look into those. There are a ton of budget ones out there now.
Hi, Scott!
Do you still think that the cheapest/greatest IEM wireless system is the Phenyx PTM-10 Pro or have you found another one?
I like the PTM 10 and this one by Anleon. PTM have been battle tested with my band mates, that’s the main reason I like it better.
Great stuff. Have you heard anything about Thomanns' t.bone wireless iems or anything from LD Systems. They are also pretty affordable and hard to find anything on them. Especially the t.bone iem100 or iem75.
I haven’t heard of those. There are quite a few of these cheaper ones around this price point I’m realizing. Which is great! Lots of options for people to get into IEMs
How do you think this system compares with the Phenyx PTM10 IEM?
Both are fantastic and are the two I would recommend for entry level wireless iems 👍
How would you rate this against the Phenyx Pro PTM-10 unit? Looks like similar specs but $70 more.
Haha man I’m getting a lot of this question! I might have to do a video on it. I think they are both fantastic. I would recommend either one for entry level wireless IEM systems
Great review!! Thanks. I’ve been using the Galaxy Audio AS-1100 for a few years now. I think it’s time for an upgrade!!
I would consider the Galaxy Audio one about the same level as this one for an entry level one. Next levels up would be Shure or sennheiser if you can afford them 👍 just my two cents
From your other videos, I think you use the XR18. Have you encountered conflicts with using your wireless in ear monitors. I am nervous about using wireless in ears for that reason.
Interference can come from many places. It’s just a new piece of equipment you need to learn. The more money you spend, the more channels/frequencies you get on your in ear monitor system. The more frequencies you have, the more likely you will not have dropouts. 👍
Does the S3 have rack mounting options? I have only seen it as a stand alone. If it is rack mountable, especially if you can attach 2 transmitters together, I will likely replace my Galaxy not true Stereo IEMs.
Even if you cannot rack Mount them, the Shure makes a 1U rack shelf and you can Velcro it down 👍 That’s how I did it for a while
Hi! You recommended S3 over S2 for full band situations. I'm considering going for wireless iem, and I'm the only guy in the band to do so: others are just using wedge monitor speakers. Would I still need the pricier S3?
I would recommend the S3 yes. The S2 gets “overloaded” with a full band mix easily
D Debra Audio PRO ER-102
I’ve wanted to check it out for a while 👍
Hi Scott thx for this video, talking about the sound quality specifically, do you really feel the difference between stereo and mono transmitter? I mean s2 or s3? From the sound perspective
S3 definitely sounds better than the S2. Stereo or not, it’s definitely a big improvement
Thanks for educating us man. Do you have cheaper but reliable alternative to the Behringer X32?
Behringer x air series. They have the 12, 16, and 18 🤘
Thanks so much. Just what I was looking for . So helpful!
Hey Scott! Great video! I was wondering how it compared to the Phenyx Pro PTM-10 as they are similar in price. I would like to hear your thought on this! Thanks
Yeah both are amazing units at this price point. I do not think you will make a bad decision with either one. Both are really good 👍
Hi Scott, thank you for the review! It really gives me insight. Do you prefer this one over Phenyx Pro PTM 10?
They are both great!
Thanks for this, my band is picking this up. Any clue how we could rack mount it? Seems to have similar mounting points as the sennheiser G4. Hoping it can just share the space with that
If you cannot rack it up for some reason (you should but it doesn’t come with it) they always have rack shelves you can get 👍
What would your personal preference be on this VS a system like the Xvive U4?
This one 👍 unless you need the portability of the U4
Hi Scott… Thanks for the review. On the S3 how many receivers is it safe to hook up to the transmitter? We have five in our band and we're going to need to get four more receivers to go with the one already bought with the transmitter. So explain this to me please.
Also… Do they have rack mountable systems?
That should be fine 👍 and I don’t know if they have a rack mount for it. But they make rack shelves if you need to Velcro it in in case it doesn’t rack. I’ve done that before
Is it rack mountable???
It’s been a while since I reviewed this, but I believe that it is.
Ok thanks do you recall if it came with the rack ears?
Any way to connect external combiner with the S3 units?
What do you mean?
I’ve been watching for quite sometime and enjoyed it especially in educational information. Our church is looking into iem but all the big music stores pushing Sennheiser or Shure. Are they that much better as far as sound quality compared to S3?
I’m not a super tone snob. I plugged these in and they sounded like my sennheiser system 👍
Thx for another video. This maybe my next purchase. You seem to really like this system. Been looking for an alternative to my kimafun system.
It’s definitely better than the Kimafun system for more serious IEM applications 🤘
Great video! have you done a review on iems using wifi 5.8ghz? cheers!
I haven’t found one on 5.8Ghz actually… except for one which was more pricy than these
Awesome system. Too bad I’m all set with the Phenyx Pro systems. Got a great deal from them on 3 systems with the two receivers. I should of waited for your review. Lol! Just finish building my IEM rack with Behringer Air XR18. I’ll send you a photo later. Thanks for all your info. If I need an extra one I’ll take a look at these.
The PP ones are fantastic!! You made a great choice, and those are a tiny bit cheaper actually. Those are the two I recommend for entry level iems
Does this system have artifacts in with the guitar when you use them or are they as clear as Shure and Sennheiser IEM systems. I have the Galaxy 950 and for the money it's ok but I hear some noise along with the notes of my guitar with this system. I didn't see a review of the Galaxy on your channel.
To me, they sounded just as clear as my sennheiser system 👍
Hey Scott, great video as always😊
Would be great if you could review the LD Systems MEI 1000 G2. Have a look at that IEM system.
Keep on going👍🏻🎸🎶
Hmm interesting. A little more and for less frequency bandwidth. I think I like these better just by a google search 👍
When you play solo, what mixer so you use?
Usually the behringer xr18. It’s overkill but I use it for my duo and trio too. The x12 is fine for solo
@@ScottUhlMusic when I play solo I usually just use the Bose Tonematch:). But was contemplating the Flow8.
Just played a gig last weekend in stereo from an Allen and heath 32 channel mixer. Has the typical top end hiss and compression associated with this type of wireless, but I didn’t have any dropouts or interference (I was the only one using wireless). I used the maximum amount of pad on the transmitter input so I could leave the buss output at zero db. It worked perfectly. Drummer was crazy loud. I was the only one on stage with usable monitors.
Nice! Glad they worked well for you 🤘
Do you prefer the anleon s3 above phenyx pro ptm-10 or ptm11?
Both are great units!
Thanks for another helpful video. I have a similar Sennheiser system and used it for a long time the way you described with two receivers panned L and R. But that system doesn't work so well anymore, and I understand it's no longer legal to be on the frequencies it uses (yes, it's old). I would consider using this system the same way, but I don't see that a second S3 receiver is readily available.
Yeah the frequency thing is annoying for sure. This is a good replacement for sure! Although the sennheiser has more features and more frequencies if it’s the ew 300. Of course, it’s also 3x the price 👍
Good stuff! I'm glad I found your channel. Thanks for being there. Very very helpful information on IEM technology.
Thanks David!
Hey Scott, I bought the anleon s3 but i got allot of white noice on the receiver. The phones out on the transmitter is Clean as can be. Do you have the same white noice or could i have a faulty receiver?
When the volume on the receiver is in the mid setting its the cleanest. Low volume is higher volume low level noice increase en high volume is hight level noice increase
I tryed them with standaard headphones instead of my cca-c12s and its clear sound trough the receiver. It looks like the cca or the wire of the cca is the cause
There can be many reasons for getting white noise. It’s likely some sort of interference near by. I hope you tried changing channels to see if that cleared it up. If all channels give the same results, it could be the area you are in. Try changing to a different area and see if it still happens (and change channels… always change channels if you need to). And if it still is doing that, it’s likely defective.
@@ScottUhlMusic hey Scott, I checked multiple channels with and with transiever on and off. It looks like faulty wiring of my cca-c12 or the in ears itself. The anleon s3 looks to be working fine. When trying the receiver with regular headphones there was no noice. Im going to try different wiring and otherwise order new in ear monitors
Hi Scott, just came across you channel. Hoping you could review the NUX B-7PSM 5.8 GHz Wireless in-Ear Monitoring System.
Good timing! Just gigged with them this weekend :) full review coming next week 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusic AWESOME!
Thanks for the review
This one vs the Phenyx Pro? Any comments?
Either of them are great. I honestly think both are great options. If you are on a tight budget, and are okay with doing the 2 receivers 1 transmitter setup, I would get one PP and one S3 for your band with 4 transmitters 👍
Thanks!!!
👏👏👏
This is a great review and a nice product to bring in-ears to the masses!
Would you mind posting the frequency of each channel available? I tried to figure out the bandwidth of each channel while watching you flip through some, but they seem to be different sizes.
I have a few TV stations around that will likely ruin a lot of the 518-554 spectrum, but there are a few gaps I might be able to use.
You should be able to find that online for which ones they have for certain countries 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic They only list ranges unfortunately. It's alright. Using the Shure site I can make a small estimate of at least a few open channels.
Thanks!

With just two things of wireless, you shouldn’t have a problem in most situations. However the G10 is on 2.4Ghz which can have problems on its own, which is worth understanding. I go over that in this video: th-cam.com/video/RCrFKKr8WUA/w-d-xo.html
