Subject:	Good value system for smaller spaces - meeting rooms, etc.
Quality:	Just received it. So far so good.
Features:	Search for wireless mikes is what prompted the purchase. I would definitely add a MIXER to the package. It wan't clear when ordering that I would also need this.
Ease of Use:	Easy to use, once I figured it out. Info sheet (AKA manual) was less than helpful to a novice. Needed a diagram as to where to plug what in! Would have helped to know how to connect everything together - MIXER and speakers.
Sound:	We hooked it up to our BOSE speakers in our CD/radio. Haven't tried it out in a large room....yet - sounds fine at home. Have to be careful about feedback, though.

Sound:
Subject:	WIRELESS MICS
Quality:	THE ONLY PROBLEM I CAN SEE IS FIRST, THE BATTERY CAP IS VERY WEAK AND LIKELY TO CRACK OR BREAK DURING BATTERY REPLACEMENT. A BAND OF COLORED TAPE WILL CURE THIS PROBLEM. I AM A DJ AND HAVE BEEN USING MY FIRST SET FOR THREE YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS EXCEPT THE BATTERY CAP. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE PURCHASE TWO MORE SETS AS STANDBY UNITS.THE FIRST UNIT IS STILL WORKING FINE AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL FELLOW DJ'S ASK ME WHERE I GOT THEM AND WOULD I ORDER THEM A SET! THEY AS WELL AS MY OTHER USERS CANNOT BELIEVE THE GREAT SOUND QUALITY THEY PRODUCE! THE ONLY OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE HAD IS, SINCE I DO HAVE THE B AND D FREQ. AND ALSO THE P AND R FREQ. THEY DO AT TIMES INTERFER WITH EACH OTHER WHEN USED TOGETHER, I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE BECAUSE THE TWO BASE UNITS MAY BE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. IN SUMMARY I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE WHO IS SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR SOUND QUALITY!
Features:	GREAT SOUND,LIGHT WEIGHT,WIRELESS,DISTANCE WORKING AREA,GREAT PRICE, INEXPENSIVE TO OPERATE. I WOULD (AND HAVE) ADDED A LARGER, BRIGHTER (EASY TO SEE IN DIM LIGHTED AREAS) COLOR BAND ON THE HEAD AREA OF THE MICS (EACH MIC WITH A DIFFERENT BRIGHT COLOR TO HELP IDENTIFY EACH PERSON WHO MAY BE USING WHICH MIC. THIS WILL ENABLE THE SOUND CONTROL PERSON TO MIX THE VOICES MORE ACCURATELY WITHOUT HAVING TO GUESS WHO HAS WHICH MIC.) I ALSO (AND HAVE) ADDED A BAND OF COLORED TAPE TO THE BATTERY CAP NEXT TO WHERE THE THREADED END IS. THIS IS A VERY WEAK SPOT AND IS LIKELY TO CRACK OR BREAK. THE COLORED TAPE ALSO HELPS IDENTIFY WHO IS USING WHICH MIC DURING MULTIPLE USERS AT THE SAME TIME.
Ease of Use:	THIS PRODUCT IS VERY SIMPLE TO SET UP AND USE. IT TOOK ME ABOUT THREE SECONDS TO INSTALL AND USE. SOOOOOO SIMPLE!!!
Sound:	TONE IS GREAT
Value:	GREAT VALUE
Do you own this product?:	YES THREE UNITS.

Quality:
Subject:	You Get What You Pay For...
Quality:	Only one of them works most of the time. It has caused me great embarrassment at two weddings. There is nothing worse than when the best man or brides Father goes to give a toast and the mics do not work.
Features:	Small, easy to set up
Ease of Use:	Easy to use. If you can plug in a speaker cord, you can use these.
Sound:	When it works, the tone is ok. Not great, but ok.
Value:	No...not even worth the little money spent. I do not hold AMS responsible for this, its the manufacturer's fault. Very disappointing because Nady usually makes quality stuff.
Do you own this product?:	Yes

Ease of Use:
Sound:
Subject:	Surprisingly good for the price
Quality:	The microphones are lightweight. But, they seem well-made. The receiver seems to be constructed at least as well as more expensive units.
Features:	Having two receivers in one box is helpful with limited available channels. It only provides a 1/4" output, which worked fine for the situation is it used in. It seems like the overall output level is less than Shure and AT units. But, I was still able to get a good, useable signal level.
Ease of Use:	The unit is very easy to configure. Plug it into a channel, plug in the power supply, and turn it on. You have individual channels for each mic so they can be leveled at the unit.
Sound:	I'm using this unit in a small, country church to help the pastor to be heard over the window air-conditioners. It seems like the overall output level is less than Shure and AT units. But, I was still able to get a good, usable signal level. These microphones don't seem to be prone to feedback in this situation. The sound seems good as well.
Value:	I can still hardly believe that I got two decent-working, wireless microphones shipped to me for less than $50. This is a tremendous value.

Subject:	Nady DKW Duo VHF Handheld Wireless Microphone System as BACKUP
Quality:	I could not believe it when one of the singers actually asked for this microphone than the Shure PGX. I bought this as a backup. Believe me, I could not tell the difference between Shure's and Nady in terms of quality.
Features:	Just have enough features to be useful, just likeeveryone elses.
Ease of Use:	It is lighter. the nine-volt battery is not I prefer, however, we always have a stack of them for our stomp boxes. This system is plug and play, no configuration necessary.
Sound:	Believe me, I could not tell the difference between Shure's and Nady in terms of quality. Maybe even more transparent than the others.
Do you own this product?:	Yes, now B and D, plus the P and R channels
