Relacart - PM-100D

I own and use Sennheiser G3 system for past 7 years, it’s awesome! In a new band there was a need for second unit and I had to start searching, this time budget was tighter. At first I bought the Phenyx PTM-10 but was really dissapointed almost immediately. I’m not a sound snob but this thing doesn’t sound good at all (usable but not enjoyable). So I got to test some more: Sennheiser XSW, Relacart PM-100D and Relacart PM-320. Of those the 300€ Relacart impressed me, so clean signal! XSW and PM-320 also sounded good but the extra noise is something I can live without. Bought the PM-100D Here’s the video for future me’s who are getting roped in by yt influencers to but Phenyx 🤪 https://youtu.be/mD5jDet664k?feature=shared

In my experience it has less noise than sennheiser xsw, psm-10 and relacart pm-320. Maybe a tiny bit more than sennheiser g3. I’ve used it successfully for more than 10 gigs, no problems, really happy with the purchase. Things to be aware of: 1. They are not as loud as others (loudness depends on your iems’s too), not a problem for me but with sennheiser g3 my volume is at about 5/10, with pm-100 the volume is at about 8/10. 2. There is latency (I measured 8.9 ms). This doesn’t bother me at all but might bother you If you’re sensitive to that.

Update. Measured 100D latency with this tool: https://oblique-audio.com/rtl-utility.php Seems to be 8.9ms Used it at a rehearsal with lekato guitar wireless and digital pedals (measured all of these too: Lekato 5.9ms, tonex+hx stomp 5.5ms). That’s bit over 20ms (also some from Behringer XR18) but weirdly I didn’t notice it…am I really numb to latency or my band doesn’t play fast/technical music? I’m thinking about finding a lower latency guitar wireless just to have some peace of mind but these are damn expensive so kind of defeats the purpose of saving money 😀
