Electro-Voice RE3-HHT86-5H - UHF Handheld Transmitter with ND86 Supercardioid Dynamic Capsule (560–596 MHz)

Electro-Voice RE3-HHT86-5H - UHF Handheld Transmitter with ND86 Supercardioid Dynamic Capsule (560–596 MHz)

The Electro-Voice RE3-HHT86-5H is a UHF handheld transmitter for the RE3 Series featuring the ND86 head, a supercardioid dynamic capsule optimized for live vocals with smooth, detailed, and present sound and high stage rejection. The 5H band (560–596 MHz) offers 36 MHz of tuning with 1,440 selectable frequencies and switchable RF power ( 10/50 mW ), facilitating coordination in concerts, theaters, and corporate events. The RE3-HHT body is made of metal, incorporates an LCD + LED display , ultrasonic synchronization with the receiver, and standard 1.25″-28 threaded coupling with 3-ring / 3-pin contacts for EV or compatible third-party heads.

The ND86 capsule employs a neodymium magnet, a dent-resistant Memraflex grille , a hydrophobic diaphragm , a humbucking coil , and an advanced shockmount (4-point suspension + pneumatic pump) that reduces handling noise. Its response is tuned for both near and distant vocal pickups, maintaining intelligibility even in large venues.

Main features

• Band 5H (560–596 MHz) with 36 MHz tuning and 1,440 discrete frequencies.
• Switchable RF power : 10/50 mW (depending on band).
• ND86 supercardioid dynamic microphone for high gain-before-feedback and off-axis control.
• Ultrasonic synchronization with the RE3 receiver for immediate adjustment of frequency and parameters.
• Metal body , LCD + LED , key lock and charging contacts compatible with RE3-ACC-BC2 .
• Universal coupling : 1.25″-28 thread / 3-ring-3-pin contact (EV/third-party interchangeable heads).

Product benefits

• Voice intelligibility and presence in demanding scenarios thanks to the ND86 capsule.
• Agile deployment with fast scan/sync and wide tuning range to avoid interference.
• Professional reliability : robust construction, heavy-duty grille and internal damping against handling noise.
• Versatility by being able to interchange heads and adjust RF power according to the environment.

Use cases

• Live lead vocals and backing vocals (pop/rock, musical theater, gospel) with close-up monitors.
• Presenters and masters of ceremonies who require high ambient noise rejection.
• Corporate events and mobile production with RE3-based multi-channel racks.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it a condenser microphone? No, the ND86 is a dynamic microphone with a neodymium magnet.
• How does it sync with the receiver? Using ultrasonic synchronization from the RE3-RX; it copies the frequency and settings in seconds.
• Can I use other capsules? Yes, the body accepts 1.25″-28 threaded heads with 3-ring/3-pin contacts.
• What power supply does it use? It runs on 2 AA batteries (alkaline or NiMH) and can be charged on-site with the RE3-ACC-BC2 charger.
