Wireless Microphone Review: Nady Systems 351 Wireless Microphone Kit (page 2)
Who's it For?
The Nady 351 is a decent system for the price. No, you won't get the performance of a rack-mounted true diversity UHF wireless system. However, you won't pay nearly as much for the 351 as one of those professional-level systems. If you are just getting started, and want a wireless microphone system, the Nady 351 could be the perfect system for you. If you want the best performance possible, you'll need to spend more money and get yourself a true diversity UHF system.
