Electro-Voice RE3-ND86-5H - Handheld UHF Wireless Set with Supercardioid ND86 Capsule (5H Band 560–596 MHz)

Electro-Voice RE3-ND86-5H - Handheld UHF Wireless Set with Supercardioid ND86 Capsule (5H Band 560–596 MHz)

The Electro-Voice RE3-ND86-5H is a UHF wireless microphone system designed for lead vocals and demanding stage performances. It features an integrated RE3-RX diversity receiver , RE3-HHT handheld transmitter , and the ND86-RC3 supercardioid dynamic capsule. The capsule delivers a present, detailed sound with great acoustic control and an effective internal shock-mount system that reduces handling noise, along with a dent-resistant Memraflex grille. The 5H version (560–596 MHz) provides 36 MHz of tuning, 1440 selectable frequencies , and switchable 10/50 mW RF power, ensuring flexible multi-channel coordination. Setup is a snap thanks to frequency scanning and ultrasonic synchronization (40 kHz) between receiver and transmitter.

Product benefits

• Stable Gain and Feedback Control : The ND86's supercardioid directivity and large diaphragm design deliver a present voice with excellent side and rear rejection.
• Fast operation : automatic scanning finds free frequencies and synchronization links transmitter and receiver in seconds, useful in multi-channel setups.
• Live reliability : antenna diversity, metal chassis and internally suspended capsule to minimize handling noise and RF dropouts.
• Professional integration : Balanced/unbalanced outputs and switchable (line/mic) levels for direct connection to mixers, interfaces or AV matrices.
• Scalability : 36 MHz tuning and 1440 channels facilitate RF coordination in theaters, touring, and corporate events.

Use cases

• Singers and frontmen on stages with high sound pressure.
• Events, theaters, and places of worship that require maximum isolation and vocal clarity.
• Presentations and streaming with quick setup and consistent audio.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the ND86-RC3 capsule interchangeable? Yes. It uses the standard 1.25”/28 UN-2A thread with 3-ring/3-pin contacts, compatible with the RE3-HHT and other transmitters using the same standard.
• What band is this version? 5H (560–596 MHz) . Electro-Voice offers other bands; select based on local RF regulations and environment.
• Is a license required? It depends on the country and the frequencies used. Check your regional regulations before operating wireless systems.
