Platinum Series 802

UHF Wireless System

Nady

Nady Systems recently introduced their next-generation wireless microphone system, dubbed the Platinum UHF Series. The first unit in this series is the Platinum 802, a two-channel system featuring DigiTRU™, a proprietary digital processing circuit that allows for maximum range and elimination of audio dropouts in adverse RF conditions. The space saving receiver is ultra compact and rackmountable with easy access, front-mounted antennas, and also features adjustable line level 1/4-inch and fixed mic level XLR outputs. With a full range of transmitter options, the Platinum Series provides the ultimate flexibility for all audio applications while still maintaining a 120 db dynamic range throughout the series line. With its two user-switchable channels on the increasingly popular uncluttered UHF bands, the Platinum 802 is available at the price of many other single channel UHF systems.
