"Nady Encore II for Bass Guitar"
If it keeps working as it does now, I would see no reason to replace it with another brand or type. It works great.
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.
Features
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… read more 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.
Manufacturer Support
No need to use support (hope there won't be one).
The Wow Factor
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".
