About Nady 8W-1KU

It's time to elevate your live performances with the 8W-1KU 1000-Channel UHF Octo Receiver Wireless System, complete with 8x Lapel Microphones. This advanced, professional-grade wireless system is designed to deliver high-quality, clear, and natural sound, thanks to its proprietary companding and low-noise circuitry that offers an impressive 120dB dynamic range.

The system operates on 1000 user-selectable UHF frequencies, synthesized into 10 groups of 100 channels within the US frequency band of 520MHz-544.9MHz. This broad frequency range ensures compatibility with a wide array of wireless microphone systems and minimizes interference from other wireless devices, providing reliable performance in any setting or locale.

The 8W-1KU wireless system is equipped with True Diversity circuitry, featuring two complete front ends for maximum range and dropout protection, ensuring uninterrupted audio transmission up to 500 feet. This makes it an ideal choice for large-scale events like concerts, theater productions, and other live performances where multiple performers need to be mic'd up simultaneously.

The system's receiver boasts a front-panel backlit LCD display, providing real-time information on selected audio output volume level, Group/Channel, RF signal strength meter, and A/B diversity status. An additional audio LED bar graph display offers instantaneous audio level status from a distance. The back panel houses balanced XLR Mic Level and unbalanced 1.4" line level audio output jacks for versatile connectivity.

The included bodypack transmitter (BT-1KU) is encased in a durable, road-worthy all-metal case and features an LCD display indicating selected Group, Channel, Audio Input Levels, and Battery level status. It operates with two AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable NiMH) for extended, reliable battery life. The transmitter also features a flexible external antenna rod and a mini locking connector for the lapel microphone, ensuring secure and efficient operation.

The 8W-1KU 1000-Channel UHF Octo Receiver Wireless System with 8x Lapel Microphone is not just a wireless system; it's a comprehensive solution for delivering superior audio quality in professional settings.
