Electro-Voice RE3-RE520-5H Handheld UHF Wireless Set RE520 Head 560-596 MHz Supercardioid Condenser

Description

The RE3-RE520-5H is a handheld UHF wireless microphone set designed to deliver clear vocal reproduction and reliable RF performance. It pairs a robust handheld transmitter with the RE520 supercardioid condenser head to provide focused pickup and controlled low-end response. The set supports a 560-596 MHz operating range and streamlined frequency setup for fast deployment.

Key features include the RE520 condenser capsule, a supercardioid polar pattern for acoustic isolation, and an RE3 diversity receiver that minimizes dropouts. The handheld transmitter offers selectable output power and a common threaded coupling so the RE520 head can be attached securely. The receiver provides clear frequency scan and sync functions to simplify configuration in congested RF environments.

Technical performance emphasizes a tight low end, natural mid range, and detailed high end from the RE520 capsule. The system supports up to 36 MHz tuning bandwidth (band specific) and selectable transmit power settings of 10 mW and 50 mW in this band. The receiver’s diversity architecture and LCD provide stable reception and clear status information for live use.

Connectivity and compatibility are straightforward – the receiver includes two removable antennas and standard power connectivity via the supplied universal power supply. The handheld transmitter accepts the thread-on RE520 head and runs from two AA batteries for portability. Frequency scanning and IR sync let the receiver find and program matching channels quickly.

This set is suited to vocal performance, presentations, and speech reinforcement where controlled pickup and feedback resistance are required. The supercardioid polar pattern reduces stage bleed and improves gain-before-feedback, while the handheld form factor and quick sync functions speed setup in live environments. It performs reliably in single-microphone use as well as small multi-channel systems when coordinated correctly.

Installation and day-to-day use are straightforward thanks to rugged construction and clear user controls. The transmitter’s metal body and threaded head coupling provide durable operation, while the receiver’s rack-mountable format and easy-to-read LCD support pro installation. Together the elements deliver a dependable wireless vocal solution with predictable sonic character and solid RF behavior.
