NadyDW-11 Digital Wireless Handheld Microphone System – Ultra-low latency with QPSK modulation - XLR and ¼” outputs – UHF range – Fixed Frequency

A client required that I have “two” wireless microphones. I already owned one system so I purchased this Nady DW-11 as a second system because it was inexpensive ($99) and I didn’t want to spend another $350 again for the wireless system (Shure BLX24/SM58) I already had.Compared to my Shure system, this Nady DW-11 looks and feels very much like a toy that’s very delicate and cheap. Everything about this NADY is cheap because it is an entry level wireless system. I wasn’t expecting a $99 system to look, sound and feel like a $350 system and trust me it doesn't.However for $99, I’m quite impressed with this Nady system overall. I’ve done side-by-side comparisons using my mixer and pro PA setup and can tell very little difference between my Shure system and this Nady DW-11. I have to boost the highs a little more on the Nady and it has terrible handling noise but other than that, sound for sound the Nady is almost identical to my Shure system. Keep in mind that I’m not using this Nady system for singing. I wouldn’t recommend this Nady system for singers/vocalists in the music business. If you are a pro musician/singer, than you shouldn’t even be considering an entry-level system in the first place.I bought this Nady system for one purpose..... public speaking (presentations/seminars etc) and this is precisely all this Nady DW-11 microphone system is good for.If you are on a very tight budget, this Nady is a nice microphone system for the beginner though. It doesn’t feel like a super high-quality microphone system because it isn’t. What can you expect for $99? It’s super easy to set up, it works fine, it gets the job done, it’s lightweight, and little to no interference at all with other wireless systems around you. I also appreciate that the operation manual was clearly written by someone that understands the English language. I want product descriptions and user manuals intelligently written in English!The Nady DW-11 operates in the 900 MHz range and does not interfere with my Shure system which operates in the 500 MHz range. As others have said here, if someone else around you is using the exact same frequency as your Nady DW-11, you’re screwed. The frequency can’t be changed.

Like others have said it feels cheap and the fake LCD display does not give one much confidence but the real test is how it sounds and the distance you can be from the receiver and both are very good. I sound is very good, it's digital so no analog interference and very little worry of audio feedback when being in front but to the side of the speakers. I was able to go to the other end of a 60ft hall without ever dropping signal, can't say that for my Samson wireless. I am so surprised how well this works given the lightweight cheap plastic used to make it. Still, I have to knock it down a star for the cheap feeling and especially for the fake LCD, I mean... really?

stopped working in a few months. guess my first thought was accurate ...When I first took this out of the box, my heart sank. It was so light, I thought it would be poor quality. But this little mic works really well! It was plug and play out of the box. I'd buy it again for the money.

Use it for sideline interviews during high school football broadcasts. Great product with solid reliability. Never fails to please.

The Nady DW-11 is easy to hook up. However, the cord from the receiver to the amplifier could be longer, as my spouse would like to connect it directly to his Yamaha Clavinova directly, but had to connect it to the amplifier. My husband was able to walk all around our house and I could hear him clearly. One thing I wasn't too keen on, was that it has a tinny sound to it. But since he isn't a professional, we can live with that and our karaoke loving singer in the family can sing away to us. It has a permanent spot in our home.

This is a good single channel microphone and as such is limited in its usefulness.While the led readout will tempt you to believe you can add another microphone to the mix with this system, you cannot. What you see is what you get.The mic works great out of the box with quick and easy setup. If you were doing something simple like a podcast and wanted some range away from your mixer this would do fine. It would also work well if all you needed was a single mic for a single person but you'll need to stick with the mic that comes with it, you won't be switching to a lav or anything else.The mic seemed to work well in both an environment with a lot of interference (hotel conference room) on the set channel (this is a downside of the mic, if there is any interference you are dead in the water as you can't change the channel). It also worked great plugged in at my office. The mic feels a little cheap and lightweight in the hand and I'm not sure how much heavy use it would withstand if it were being picked up and laid down a lot. It would be better suited in a stand in my opinion.For the price this is a decent entry level system but if you are going to do any heavy use outside of a single application this would not be your mic. Sound quality was surprisingly good for a system of this price range.
