John Nady

John Nady began experimenting with wireless guitar systems as early as 1968, driven by a desire to liberate musicians from the constraints of cables. By 1976, he introduced the Nasty Cordless, a product that, while not the first on the market, boasted groundbreaking features that quickly made it a go-to choice for performers. As artists like Steve Vai and Johnny Cash adopted John's products, his innovations became synonymous with quality and reliability. This success inspired him to expand his offerings beyond wireless guitar systems, venturing into microphones, lighting, and an array of audio accessories. John’s contributions to wireless audio technology are numerous. He developed the first in-ear monitor system in 1978, which revolutionized how performers hear themselves on stage. His 1984 creation of the ultra-light wireless head microphone transformed live performance, offering unparalleled freedom of movement. John continued to innovate with the introduction of the first wireless guitar and bass system with a built-in transmitter in 1986 and, in 1991, the groundbreaking PLL synthesized UHF frequency agile wireless system. Each of these achievements solidified his legacy as a pioneer in wireless technology for musicians.
