Nady Systems, Inc. is a professional and consumer audio product manufacturer founded in 1976 by John Nady. It was formerly based in Emeryville, California. Nady Systems develops and manufactures many wireless products using wireless microphone technology. Nady originally marketed electronic audio gear for the entertainment industry; however, over the years Nady Systems has focused to other markets including houses of worship, schools and universities. Nady also sells other audio equipment such as mixers, amplifiers, rack units, portable sound systems, speakers, headphones, hard-wired microphones and digital sound processors.
John Nady, CEO of Nady Systems, first developed and patented a companding process for wireless which significantly improved sound quality and range in the early 1970s. He began offering this product for sale in wireless microphones in 1976. Based on his developments, Nady is widely recognized as the “father of the modern wireless microphone.”
Nady’s original marketing was focused strictly on the entertainment industries and by 1985, more than 80% of the world’s tops performing acts were using Nady Wireless. Nady introduced the concept of wireless technology to many of the biggest headliners at that time, including Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Styx, Neil Young and the Rolling Stones. Nady also entered the television/broadcasting market, with the fledgling wireless used on the Golden Globe Awards , Grammy Awards , and the Lawrence Welk , among others. In 1987, Nady introduced the first high-performance and affordable wireless microphone: the 101/201 Series. This helped make wireless microphone technology a universal phenomenon. Nady is also credited with developing the first in-ear monitor system (1978), the first PLL synthesized UHF frequency agile wireless (1991), the first ultra light wireless head microphone for professional stage performance (1982), the first wireless guitar and bass with built-in transmitter (1985), the first studio condenser microphone and rack gear under $100 (early 2000s), and the first affordable studio ribbon microphone (2005).
