For 40 years, Nady has been acknowledged as an innovative force in the music industry, literally transforming the live audio performance/studio landscape. Nady developed his system in his kitchen in Berkeley, then in a warehouse in Oakland. He formed Nasty Wireless in the late 1960s with family funding, patented the microphone in 1977, and changed the company name to Nady Wireless in 1978 and later to Nady Systems. It came to have 125 employees in Oakland, with manufacturing in China. By the mid-1980s, other musical artists using the company's wireless equipment included Neil Young, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Jefferson Starship, Toto, and Styx.
