Electro-Voice RE3-HHT520-5L Handheld UHF Transmitter / RE520 Condenser Supercardioid Head / 488-524 MHz

Description

The RE3-HHT520-5L is a handheld UHF wireless transmitter fitted with the RE520 condenser supercardioid microphone head – engineered for vocal performance and spoken presentations. It delivers a detailed and present midrange, tight low end, and a clear high end for articulate sound reproduction. The integrated supercardioid pattern provides strong off-axis rejection for increased stage isolation.

Core features include the RE520-RC3 condenser microphone head, a robust metal transmitter body, and a common threaded coupling that allows head interchangeability. The transmitter offers selectable low and high RF output power and an up to 36 MHz tuning bandwidth depending on band allocation. The unit supports quick frequency setup via clear frequency scan and sync functions when used with compatible receivers.

Technically the transmitter operates in the 488-524 MHz UHF range and is compatible with Electro-Voice RE3-RX diversity receivers for stable links. Power is supplied by two AA batteries for convenient field operation and hot-swap capability. The system provides rock-solid RF performance and predictable audio characteristics tailored for vocal clarity.

Connectivity and compatibility are optimized for rental and installed AV workflows – the handheld pairs quickly with RE3 series diversity receivers using sync, and the common threaded coupling makes microphone head swaps fast and tool-free. The unit’s RF tuning range and selectable power settings accommodate different deployment sizes and regulatory band requirements. The transmitter is engineered to integrate into multi-channel wireless systems with predictable behavior.

Common applications include live vocal performance, corporate presentations, houses of worship, and broadcast contributions where vocal clarity and feedback rejection are critical. The RE520 head’s supercardioid pattern helps reduce stage bleed while preserving natural vocal timbre. Its compact form factor and battery operation make it suitable for portable staging and touring.

Setup is straightforward – scan for clear frequencies, sync from receiver to transmitter, and select the appropriate output power for the venue. The metal housing offers durability in road and rental environments while maintaining comfortable ergonomics. Together, the RE520 head and RE3 handheld transmitter provide a dependable wireless vocal solution with controllable RF options and consistent audio quality.
