Reviews
Feature:
On/Off switch is helpful
Quality:
major damage after a short drop off the mic stand (I'm only 5'2" for crying out loud!) The whole top came apart! I got so mad I thru it in the trash right there at the gig.
Value:
It works. If you need a quick, cheap, throw-away mic this will do. I got these in a package of 3. One came apart after a short drop. Still have 2 left for emergencies but I'm looking for a better quality mic.
Desirability:
Looks nice.
Sound:
Average, kind of wimpy sound at best. I'm a female who sings mostly backup vocals with a couple of leads. I've been using one of these Nady's for about 6 months now because it was all I had. I've always been disappointed with the sound. I'm singing with 2 guys, 1 has a Shure Beta58, the other has a Shure SM58 and it's just embarrassing when we're singing 3 part harmonies! I can't stand it anymore and am looking for a mic I can use without hanging my head in shame.
Ease of Use:
Had to do some serious mixing to get a useable sound.
Overall:
If you need a cheap throw away emergency mic or you're just starting out with a basement or garage band, these are fine for that purpose. If you want a professional "full" sounding mic, better get something else. Be prepared for a little feedback if you crank it up.
