Nady E03 Personal Ear Monitor System (Channel GG) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having done pro sound for years, I decided to try this comparatively, inexpensive product. When I FINALLY got it (that's another story), I put it together & it has been working fairly well. The things that they don't state openly in the web ads is that each belt pack is a fixed channel. If u want 2 people using the same channel, then u must get 2 of the same channel or 2 belt packs & 1 transmitter on the same channel. On the other hand, if u want 2 different mixes, u need 2 different systems - 1 transmitter/belt pack on 1 channel & the other system/belt pack, on another. That is common knowledge in the field, however, they make no clear mention of that in the short adds & are somewhat unclear when they say "factory programmable". It means u MUST, in advance, specifically ask for 2 separate systems on 2 separate channels as far away from each other in the frequency spectrum that they provide. U get all of this specific info when u get the device & open it. The locked channel also limits your possibilities if u get interference. If u get interference, u just have to deal with it - there's no further choice of channels.

Another thing not spelled out & quite interesting to discover is the built in limiter (though potentially beneficial for your hearing in the long run). If u add too many instruments into the mix being sent to u thru the transmitter system, the transmitter will automatically reduce what seems to be 1 or 2 instruments & keeps the rest of the instruments the same level. The cut will last for a couple seconds after the loudest levels have dropped. My guitarist has been struggling with the drums cutting out for seconds at a time, only at particular parts in any given song & is trying to get used to it - trying to stay on beat w/o hearing drums for seconds at a time. The system takes much trial & effort to get it tweaked out, and CAN be, but, just another thing not spelled out in advance.

Finally, the headphones they provide are not worth much of anything & it is a mono unit. So, to replace the headphones, u either need to seek out worthy, mono headphones, modify the cable on your stereo headphones, or use your stereo headphones with the cable just slightly pulled out (for the proper contacts to touch in the inside of the headphone jack) to hear in both headphone buds. All in all, not bad - workable - for the buck.
