PCM-200, PCM-100 specifications

Nady Systems, a prominent name in the wireless audio market, has developed notable products like the PCM-100 and PCM-200, designed for both professional and personal audio use. These units stand out due to their advanced technology and user-friendly features, ensuring high-quality audio transmission and reception.

The PCM-100 is a streamlined solution for those seeking simplicity without sacrificing performance. It operates on a UHF frequency band, providing a stable and interference-free signal. The unit offers a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, capturing the full range of audio frequencies, making it suitable for music, vocals, and spoken word applications. One of its key features is automatic frequency selection, which allows users to find the optimal channel, thus minimizing dropouts and noise.

The build quality of the PCM-100 is tailored for durability, a crucial aspect for both stage and studio environments. The device is lightweight, making it easy to transport, yet robust enough to withstand use in dynamic settings. Its intuitive interface allows for easy operation, featuring LED indicators for power and signal strength.

On the other hand, the PCM-200 takes the technology a step further with enhanced features designed for more demanding applications. It supports dual-channel operation, accommodating two microphones or instruments simultaneously, making it perfect for duos or multiple performers. The PCM-200 also includes a comprehensive LCD display that provides critical information, including battery status, channel selection, and signal strength, enabling users to monitor their setup at a glance.

Both models utilize advanced digital encoding to ensure high-fidelity sound reproduction while minimizing latency. This is especially beneficial for live performances where timing is critical. The PCM-200 boasts a longer operating range than the PCM-100, providing flexibility for performers who need to move freely on stage.

Battery life is a significant consideration in wireless systems, and both the PCM-100 and PCM-200 excel in this aspect, offering long-lasting power to facilitate extended use without frequent replacements.
