Nady PM-200A Powered Personal Stage Monitor – 150W RMS – XLR and ¼” inputs, line / speaker / headphones outputs

It's main use is as a monitor to record DJ mixes at a home studio. Used on occasion in a mobile DJ setting as a monitor. Sound quality is on the flatter side but, they're very loud. Small size makes it portable. Does have a little heft to it. Ordered it with the mic stand adapter and set it up on a desktop mic stand by my turntables. Does the job perfectly. Great options of inputs and EQ controls. I can see why they're still selling them til this day.

I received it today. The first thing I did was plug 3 different vocal mics into it and check the sound of the monitor. Just having the volume 35% of the way up and speaking into the mic, the low frequencies of the vocal make the speaker buzz, or vibrate in the casing of the monitor. All 3 mics did that. And the Eq's were all straight up at the 12 o' clock setting, which is probably 0 db. This monitor basically does what most hot spot style monitors do. They can't handle any kind of volume and sound like AM radio. I even tried turning down the low eq to almost -10, and it did the same thing, just not as bad. I might try using this with a friend's band who is performing this weekend in a small club, but honestly, as a pro level touring sound engineer(and as a musician myself), I can tell you that I don't want to put a buzzy speaker that can't be turned up loud in front of any musician. I will probably be returning this item in a few days.

I've had one of these for about 5 or 6 years. Never had a problem with it other than having to screw the compression fitted mic stand mount onto it (see other reviews for the fix). I needed another and recently ordered one. A noticeable hum when I plugged it into my system. The older one does not hum. Nady said that there is a certain amount of hum due to they're trying to keep production costs down. I am not impressed. Would have shelled out a few bucks more for a quieter unit.

Not a full range, hi fidelity speaker, however it's very well suited for it's purpose - on-stage personal monitor. We use this daisy chained to a PM-100 for our drummer and keyboard player, both of whom sing, in a classic rock band. It has a pronounced mid-range, but that tends to deliver more volume for vocals without feedback. No problems. Bottom line: not high-end gear, but effective and good bang for the buck.

Noisy and unusable. Constant humming noise when no other sound being transmitted. Very distracting and unusable for our church

So much better than the one I replaced with it. Better sound, more flexibility, very impressive.

I liked mine until the bass blew out. I never even turned it up over 1/4 volume. Lasted about 7 months at that volume.

Really good for individual vocal practice, but in a practice room with the rest of my band (PA, drums and guitar amplifiers) it's as though it's turned off. Can't imagine it'd be any different on a stage.
