Electro-Voice RE3-RE520-5H - UHF Wireless Handheld Microphone Set with RE520 Supercardioid Capsule (5H Band 560–596 MHz)

Electro-Voice RE3-RE520-5H - UHF Wireless Handheld Microphone Set with RE520 Supercardioid Capsule (5H Band 560–596 MHz)

The Electro-Voice RE3-RE520-5H is a UHF wireless microphone system designed for professional lead vocals and presentations. It combines the RE3-RX diversity receiver with the RE3-HHT handheld transmitter and the RE520 condenser capsule (supercardioid pattern), delivering premium sound with tight bass, natural mids, and detailed highs with excellent feedback rejection. The 5H band (560–596 MHz) offers 36 MHz of tuning , 1440 selectable frequencies , and switchable 10/50 mW RF power, making it easy to operate multiple systems and adapt to complex RF environments. Setup is quick with frequency scanning and wireless transmitter-to-receiver synchronization , while antenna diversity electronics ensure a stable, dropout-free link. The set comes ready to use with antennas, a universal power supply, rack hardware, and essential accessories.

Main features

Product benefits

• Foreground vocals with feedback control : The RE520’s supercardioid pattern prioritizes vocals and rejects nearby sources, enabling cleaner mixes on demanding stages.
• Fast and secure setup : RE3-RX scanning finds free frequencies and synchronization links transmitter and receiver in seconds, reducing setup times.
• Live Reliability : Antenna diversity and switchable RF power to match distances and system density on tour, in venues, and at corporate events.
• Professional integration : Balanced/unbalanced outputs and switchable levels for input into mixing consoles, interfaces, or AV matrices without the need for additional accessories.

Use cases

• Solo singers and live backing vocalists who demand detail and lateral rejection.
• Presenters, hosts , and speakers who need a handheld microphone with presence and minimal off-axis coloration.
• Worship venues, theaters, and corporate events with multiple simultaneous RF channels.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the RE520 capsule interchangeable? Yes. The RE520-RC3 screws into the RE3-HHT and other compatible transmitters that use the standard 1.25” / 28 UN-2A connector with 3-ring/3-pin contacts .
• What band is this version? 5H (560–596 MHz) . Electro-Voice offers other bands; choose based on local RF regulations and environment.
• Do I need a license? It depends on the country and the frequencies in use. Consult the relevant regulatory authority before operating.
