Electro-Voice RE3-HHT520-5H Handheld UHF Transmitter / RE520 Supercardioid Head / 560-596 MHz / AA Batteries

Description

The RE3-HHT520-5H is a handheld UHF wireless transmitter equipped with the RE520 condenser supercardioid microphone head – designed for clear vocal reproduction and reliable wireless operation. This transmitter delivers a detailed, full-bodied sound with a tight low end, natural midrange, and clear high end. It is optimized for live performance, presentations, and speech-critical environments where audio clarity matters.

Key features include the RE520-RC3 supercardioid microphone head that improves acoustic isolation and reduces off-axis pickup – a metal transmitter body that withstands demanding use, and a clear frequency scan and sync capability that simplifies setup. The supercardioid polar pattern provides focused pickup for vocal sources while minimizing stage noise and bleed. Selectable low and high RF output settings let you match transmit power to range and regulatory requirements.

Technically the transmitter operates in the 560-596 MHz band and supports up to 36 MHz of tuning bandwidth depending on band allocation – providing extensive frequency options within the band. The radio link is engineered to deliver stable, diversity-caliber performance when paired with the RE3-RX receiver. Power is provided by two AA batteries for straightforward field replacement and predictable runtime.

Connectivity and compatibility are straightforward – the transmitter syncs quickly to compatible RE3 series receivers using the built-in sync function and clear frequency scan – simplifying frequency coordination. The common threaded coupling enables interchangeable microphone heads so the transmitter can be adapted to different microphone capsules. The product integrates into existing wireless systems that support the specified UHF band and sync workflow.

Common use cases include live vocal performance, corporate presentations, houses of worship, and broadcast applications where dependable wireless vocal capture is required. The focused supercardioid pickup and detailed microphone capsule deliver intelligible speech and controlled vocal tone in both speech and singing contexts. The transmitter design supports both front-of-house and personal monitoring workflows.

Installation and routine operation are designed for fast deployment – the robust metal body endures heavy handling and the threaded head coupling makes swapping capsules quick and secure. Battery replacement is tool-free using two standard AA cells and the sync/scan features reduce setup time on stage or in the field. Overall, the RE3-HHT520-5H balances reliable RF performance, sonic clarity, and practical usability for demanding live and installed AV scenarios.
