Electro-Voice RE3-HHT420-5H Handheld UHF Wireless Transmitter 560-596 MHz / Cardioid Condenser Head / Sync

Description

The RE3 handheld transmitter pairs a robust metal housing with a high-quality cardioid condenser microphone head to deliver clear vocal reproduction. It operates in the 560-596 MHz UHF band and provides reliable RF performance for live sound and presentation environments. The design focuses on stable wireless operation and consistent audio quality for operators and performers.

Key features include an interchangeable condenser cardioid head, selectable low and high output power, and a sync function for rapid frequency setup. The unit offers up to 36 MHz of tuning bandwidth in supported bands to find clean frequencies in congested RF environments. The transmitter is compatible with RE3-RX diversity receivers for rock-solid link performance.

Technically, the microphone head presents a warm low end, natural midrange, and detailed high frequencies for articulate vocals. The transmitter supports clear frequency scan and sync functions to simplify channel allocation and reduce setup time. The common threaded coupling allows easy swapping of microphone heads to suit different vocal styles or applications.

Connectivity and interoperability are straightforward – the handheld is designed to pair with RE3-RX diversity receivers and uses standard handheld wireless links to integrate into existing RF setups. Frequency selection and synchronization are handled via the receiver scan and transmitter sync functions to minimize manual configuration. Power is supplied by two AA batteries for quick field replacement and predictable runtime.

Typical applications include live vocal performance, corporate presentations, house of worship services, and touring systems where speech intelligibility and dependable RF are required. The cardioid polar pattern reduces off-axis pickup and stage noise while supporting close-miking techniques. The selectable output power helps balance coverage needs against regulatory and coexistence constraints.

Installation and day-to-day use are designed for efficiency – the robust metal body resists stage wear and the threaded head coupling offers mechanical security. Setup is accelerated by the clear frequency scan and sync workflow, reducing technician time during soundcheck. Overall, the transmitter provides a balance of audio quality, mechanical durability, and RF flexibility for professional AV deployments.
