Electro-Voice RE3-HHT520-5H - UHF Handheld Transmitter with RE520 Supercardioid Condenser Capsule (560–596 MHz)

Electro-Voice RE3-HHT520-5H - UHF Handheld Transmitter with RE520 Supercardioid Condenser Capsule (560–596 MHz)

The Electro-Voice RE3-HHT520-5H combines the RE3-HHT bodypack with the RE520-RC3 headshell to deliver a high-performance handheld wireless vocal microphone . The RE520 supercardioid condenser capsule delivers rich, detailed sound—tight bass, natural, present midrange, and defined highs—with excellent acoustic isolation and feedback control. The transmitter operates in the 5H band (560–596 MHz) with 36 MHz of tuning and switchable 10/50 mW RF power , facilitating frequency coordination for touring, theatrical, and corporate events.

The RE3-HHT body is metallic , incorporates LCD + LED screen , ultrasonic synchronization with the receiver and standard 1.25 "-28 threaded coupling ( 3 rings / 3 pin contact) for EV and third-party compatible heads. It works with 2 AA batteries (alkaline or NiMH) and integrates charging contacts for use with the RE3-ACC-BC2 dual charger.

Main features

• RE520 supercardioid condenser capsule with switchable high-pass filter (~150 Hz) , multi-stage pop filter , and internal damping to minimize plosives and handling noise.
• Band 5H (560–596 MHz) with 36 MHz tuning, 1,440 selectable frequencies and 10/50 mW RF power .
• Ultrasonic synchronization with the RE3 receiver for fast frequency and parameter copying.
• Robust metal body with LCD + LED , key lock and charging contacts compatible with RE3-ACC-BC2 .
• Universal coupling : 1.25″-28 thread and 3-ring/3-pin contact (EV/third-party interchangeable heads).

Product benefits

• Superior intelligibility and presence on lead vocals and presentations with the RE520.
• Greater margin before feedback due to its supercardioid directivity and off-axis control.
• Agile deployment : fast scan/sync, wide tuning range and selectable RF power.
• Professional reliability : metal construction, pop filtering and internal suspension to reduce handling noise.

Use cases

• Live lead vocals and backing vocals (pop/rock/gospel/musical theatre).
• Presenters and masters of ceremonies seeking clarity and rejection of the environment.
• Corporate events, education, and mobile production with RE3 multi-channel systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it a dynamic capsule? No, the RE520 is a condenser (autopol electret) capsule powered by the transmitter.
• Can I use other capsules? Yes, the body accepts 1.25″-28 and 3-ring/3-pin threaded heads.
• What batteries does it use? 2 x AA (alkaline or NiMH); can be charged on-site using the RE3-ACC-BC2 charger.
