The latest breakthrough in affordable UHF wireless, the Nady UHF-10 Series is the perfect choice for the demanding professional with a limited budget. The UHF-10 and URR-10 offer all the advantages of clear channel operation on the wide-open, uncluttered UHF band at the price of a VHF system — and a fraction of the cost of competing UHF systems! Featuring Nady's unmatched full 120 dB dynamic range, the UHF-10 and URR-10 are the quietest and best sounding UHF wireless systems available, even when compared to systems costing several times more.

"A great UHF system for the money."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
If these mics were lost, we would get 'em again.
Sound
We use the lavalier version of this system for our priest. The sound is quite good for the mic which was supplied. We can get a fair amount of gain before feedback. We have never experienced any noise or reception problems. The range is very good with no drop-outs.
Quality
We now have three of these mics. One of them has been online for two years with no problems. The units seem very well made considering the price. The only exception is the mic itself. It is a rather cheap looking thing, especialy the clip, although I noticed that they have been improved on the two new units we bought.
Value
This is a great UHF system for the price. In my view, you can't beat it. I wouldn't take it on the road as the primary mic for a major tour, but as good quality workhorse in a fixed installation on a budget it is great.
Manufacturer Support
The original mic was damaged. I called Nady and they sent me a new one that day - no charge.
