About Electro-Voice RE3-RE520

UHF wireless set featuring RE520 dynamic supercardioid microphone
Handheld UHF wireless set featuring RE520 condenser supercardioid microphone head for vocal performance and presentations. The RE520's sound is detailed, full and vivid, with a tight and clear low end, natural and present midrange and an exceptionally-detailed high end. The supercardioid pattern provides excellent acoustic isolation. Setup is quick and simple using the RE3 clear frequency scan and sync functions and the radio link between the robust handheld transmitter and diversity receiver delivers rock-solid system performance.

- RE520-RC3 Wireless head with RE520 capsule -
The RE520-RC3 is a premium-grade, high-performance, condenser supercardioid thread-on vocal microphone head for wireless handheld transmitters. Designed to reveal the exceptional detail and vivid clarity synonymous with condenser elements, it elegantly delivers the lyrical finesse required for expressive vocal performances, while controlling off-axis sound from near-by sources.

• Thread-on microphone head for Electro-Voice and other brand's wireless handheld transmitters
• Premium condenser element delivers a highly detailed, full and vivid sound
• Supercardioid polar pattern provides excellent acoustic isolation and feedback control
• Multi-stage pop filter minimizes breath blasts and plosives
• Selectable high-pass filter reduces undesirable low frequency content when engaged

This microphone head electrically and mechanically adapts to Electro-Voice (and many other brands) wireless handheld transmitters that use the common 3-contact rings, 1.25" diameter by 28-thread pitch coupling convention. The floating captured ID collar will spin freely until screwing the head on tightly. It will remain locked in place when fully tightened. This allows the desired orientation of the branding to the transmitter.

The sonic signature is detailed, full and vivid, with a warm and clear low end, natural and present midrange and an open, crisp and detailed high end. The supercardioid pattern provides excellent acoustic isolation. Maximum feedback rejection occurs when a stage monitor position is at either 225 deg. or 125 deg. offaxis to the element. This pattern also allows for a cleaner mix due to its rejection of off-axis sound. The multi-stage pop filter consists of two layers of dense foam separated by air, which attenuates wind velocity caused by breath and windblasts.

The high-pass filter has two positions. The flat position delivers the full frequency band pass of the capsule. The high-pass position attenuates frequencies below 150 Hz. The internal shock mount isolates the microphone element from vibration and guards against handling noise.

- RE3-HHT Handheld Transmitter -
The RE3-HHT is a lightweight, yet robust UHF handheld transmitter body. It is ideally-suited for professional performance and presentation applications. Due to its commonly-used 1.25" diameter, 28 UN-2A thread pitch microphone head coupling, it accepts mic heads using this common coupling convention. Although primarily intended to accept the ND and RE Series heads developed for RE3 listed in the accessories section of this data sheet, the RE3-HHT will adapt other microphone heads using the 1.25" diameter, 28 UN-2A thread pitch coupling scheme.

• Robust metal body
• Sync function for easy frequency setup
• Selectable low and high output power (band specific)
• Up to 36 MHz tuning bandwidth (band specific)
• Common threaded coupling allows microphone head interchangeable

The all-metal body is robust and durable and operates on 2 AA alkaline or rechargeable NiMH cells. The ultrasonic sync function makes for a simple system setup by syncing the transmitter to the receiver frequency tuning and other functional data. The selectable output power (band specific) assists in overcoming the challenges of both long or short, transmission ranges.

The tuning bandwidth affords generous frequency tuning options helping to avoid various sources of possible interference. The threaded coupling makes attaching and interchanging a variety of heads simple and convenient. Recharging contacts provide for functional use with the optional BC2 charging station allowing the NiMH rechargeable cells within two bodypack transmitters to be charged without removal.

- RE3-RX Diversity Receiver -
UHF wireless diversity receiver featuring clear frequency scanning, wireless synchronization to transmitter, balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4" TRS outputs. The receiver pairs perfectly with any RE3-HHT handheld or RE3-BPT bodypack transmitter within the same band. Setup is quick and simple using the RE3 clear frequency scan and sync functions and the radio link between the robust handheld transmitter and diversity receiver delivers rock-solid system performance.

• Diversity reception minimizes dropouts
• Frequency scanning for selecting open frequencies
• Sync function links transmitter to receiver for easy setup
• Up to 36 MHz tuning bandwidth (band specific) for trouble-free operation
• Easy-to-read LCD display

The RE3-RX is a professional rack-mountable, 1/2 space diversity receiver. Designed to function as the control center for an RE3 wireless set, it features frequency scanning and synchronizing, as well as full transmitter control settings which synchronize to a mated transmitter. The diversity reception technology minimizes the chances of signal dropouts by providing two separate antenna locations which are electronically chosen moment-by-moment based on signal strength and stability.

The easy-to-use frequency scanning function simplifies locating and tuning to a clear operating frequency. The sync function wirelessly synchronizes all operating parameters to the mated transmitter. The wide tuning bandwidth provides access to a wide range of frequencies, selectable in 25kHz steps for trouble-free operation of single and multi-channel systems. The easy-to-read LCD display provides vivid viewing of all menus and operating parameters.
