Feature:
This is a pretty much plug and play product. There are adjustments for input/output gain/sesitivity on both the transmitter and reciever. It took me just a few minutes to get my settings where I wanted them to be.

Quality:
No complaints so far. I will know better as time passes, but everything seems made well. The cord from the transmitter to the 1/4" instrument plug is replaceable, the only people that I found that make one are audio technica, I believe. Compatability?

Value:
There were many units out there at two and three times the price, but this one had the best specs for my use with bass guitar. It's nice being able to roam around and get a feel for our sound without relying on the sound guy.

Desirability:
I look at this type of stuff as I would computer equipment. It either does what you want or it doesn't. I don't evaluate technical equipment on the basis of "sex appeal".

Sound:
I play 6 and 4 string bass through a rig that pushes a lot of power. I researched wireless systems for bass useage with a particular eye on the frequency response needed to properly carry low bass tones. The Nady Encore II, despite its lower price, had better specs than any other wireless instrument system that I looked at. After putting this unit into use, I am very satisfied. There would seem to be some very slight compression of the tone, but nothing objectionable. I cannot percieve any reduction in the lower registers and that was my main concern with the 6 string bass and its low B string. I like the unit and am very satisfied with its performance.

Support:
No need to use support (hope there won't be one).

Overall:
If it keeps working as it does now, I would see no reason to replace it with another brand or type. It works great.

Feature:
Transmitter to guitar cord too long. Plug from wall to transmitter too short.

Quality:
For the price who can complain?

Sound:
Sound transfers just fine. Minor distortions easily compensated by adjusting guitar tone and/or amp effects.

Ease of Use:
3 minute set up (including reading the directions). Transmitter volume control is not easy to use and so the "mute" feature get used more often.

Support:
Delvered before their own estimation. BUT... they need to clearly show that the microphone IS NOT included... picture implies that it is.

Overall:
Honestly, if it lasts a year, that would be fine.

Feature:
Its features are what you would expect in an inexpensive VHF wireless...which is to say that it doesn't have many but what it has works.

Quality:
Somewhat cheap feeling but after all, it's a cheap wireless, so there you go.

Value:
Even cheap wirelesses shouldn't have such pronounced compression. That may have been acceptable in 1980 whe wireless technology was new, but by now, even the cheapest units shouldn't have that compressed tone.

Desirability:
Hey, it's a wireless. Nothing sexy about it ;)

Sound:
This product has a very compressed sound that sounds like a stompbox compressor being maxed out. The attack of each note is so obviously being compressed and not expanded that it's unusable for me.

Support:
I emailed Nady shortly before I got this and they responded promptly, so I think their support is very good.

Overall:
I am returning this unit. I don't like it. It's OK but the tone coloration it adds isn't suitable for my applications.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
This unit came ready for use. It includes a battery and cord. The set up very simple to do.

Quality:
I trust this product because its been around for a long time. I hope to use it for a long time. Only had it for a few weeks so I cant really comment on its reliability. The product looks pretty cool and its nice that Nady uses two anntena's versus one.

Value:
Cant go wrong there. Way under a hundred bucks!!!

Desirability:
Not Bad. The LED lights are okay. Looks pretty cool with the rabbit ears all the way up. Makes the gear look interesting.

Sound:
Im using this on a Peavey Patriot with a carvin amp. It sounds pretty good as far as I can tell. I have yet to use it live.

Ease of Use:
N/A

Support:
N/A

Overall:
I plan to keep this for a long time. Im a picky buyer and always take care of my gear so it should last me years. I just hope that nothing will burn out on me otherwise I tend to loose confidence on a product. I would also expect Nady to replace it for free regardless of how long Ive had the prodcut. Nady's repuation will be on the line.
