Electro-Voice RE3-ND96-5H - Handheld UHF Wireless Set with Supercardioid ND96 Capsule (5H Band 560–596 MHz)

Electro-Voice RE3-ND96-5H - Handheld UHF Wireless Set with Supercardioid ND96 Capsule (5H Band 560–596 MHz)

The Electro-Voice RE3-ND96-5H is a UHF wireless lead vocal microphone system combining the RE3-RX diversity receiver , RE3-HHT handheld transmitter , and ND96-RC3 supercardioid dynamic capsule. This headshell offers extremely high gain-before-feedback , acoustic control in high-loud environments, and a vocal presence switch that allows choice of two sonic signatures. The 5H version (560–596 MHz) provides 36 MHz of tuning, 1440 selectable frequencies in 25 kHz steps, and switchable 10/50 mW RF power, ensuring flexibility to coordinate multiple channels. Setup is quick thanks to frequency scanning and ultrasonic synchronization (40 kHz) between receiver and transmitter.

Main features

• ND96-RC3 capsule (dynamic, supercardioid) : “ close ” response 30 Hz–15 kHz and “ far ” response 140 Hz–15 kHz ; sensitivity selectable via presence switch ( 4.7 mV/Pa −46.5 dBV/Pa flat or 3.2 mV/Pa −50 dBV/Pa presence ); max. SPL 136.5 dB ; impedance 1000 Ω ; requires transmitter power 4–8 V DC . Mounting with standard 1.25” / 28 UN-2A thread and 3-ring/3-pin contacts. Memraflex grille, 4-point internal suspension and hydrophobic diaphragm.
• RE3-HHT Handheld Transmitter : metal body, band-dependent RF power control, sensitivity adjustment, mute and lock; ±48 kHz wideband FM modulation, stability <±10 kHz; 2xAA (alkaline or NiMH) power supply and charging contacts ; universal coupling for 1.25”/28 UN-2A cartridges.
• RE3-RX receiver : antenna diversity, free channel scanning and ultrasonic synchronization at 40 kHz. System response with handheld microphone: 51 Hz–16 kHz (±2 dB) ; SNR >100 dB(A) ; THD <0.6 % at 1 kHz; reception sensitivity −81 dBm (−12 dB SINAD). Outputs: Balanced XLR (−4 dBV line / −24 dBV mic) and unbalanced 6.3 mm jack (−10 dBV). Impedances: 1400 Ω (XLR) / 240 Ω (jack). Power supply 12–15 V DC / 500 mA and power supply for antenna boosters 12–15 V DC / 100 mA . Detachable half-wave antennas (BNC).
• Band 5H (560–596 MHz) : 36 MHz tuning width, 1440 frequencies, 10/50 mW transmit power. Includes antennas, power supply, rack hardware, stand adapter, 2 AA batteries, and documentation.

Product benefits

• Maximum control on demanding stages : The ND96's supercardioid directivity and presence switch facilitate cleaner mixes with high resistance to feedback.
• Punchy, clear vocal sound : The large dynamic condenser delivers tight bass, defined midrange, and fast transients; Presence mode increases intelligibility at high soundstage volumes.
• Fast operation : automatic frequency scanning and ultrasonic sync to link transmitter and receiver in seconds.
• Professional integration : Balanced/unbalanced outputs with switchable levels for connecting to AV mixers, interfaces, or matrices without additional accessories.
• Reliability : Antenna diversity, metal transmitter chassis and capsule with internal suspension to minimize handling noise.

Use cases

• Lead vocals live with high sound pressure levels.
• Events, tours and theaters where high RF isolation and stability are required.
• Presentations and streaming that require quick setup and consistent audio.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the ND96-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.
• Does it include a charging cradle? No; the transmitter includes charging contacts for use with optional charging stations. It operates standard with 2 AA batteries .
• Is a license required? It depends on the country and the frequencies used. Check local regulations before operating wireless systems.
