Electro-Voice RE3-HHT420 Handheld Transmitter and RE420 Head, Band 8M

Full Description

RE420-RC3 Wireless Microphone Head

A premium condenser for your RC3 wireless handle. Easily-adapting to your RE3-HHT handheld transmitter body, the RE420 head gives you great performance with astounding flexibility and power. Designed to accurately capture the lyrical finesse required for an expressive vocal performance, the RE420 head delivers a beautifully-detailed sonic signature that is full and vivid with a warm and clear low-end, natural and present mid-range, and an open and crisp high-end.

The element delivers a rich and detailed frequency response with excellent tonal balance and a very fast transient response. And with a handy switchable high-pass filter built into the head, you can eliminate unwanted low-frequency content (below 150Hz) in an instant. Plus with a tough Memraflex grille and multi-stage pop filter, you don't have to worry about plosives and breath blasts or nasty dents in the grille.

Reliable, adaptable performance you can trust

The transmitter itself boasts a rugged all-metal body and is powered by two AA (alkaline or rechargeable NiMH) batteries. Syncing the transmitter with your receiver is quick and easy thanks to an intuitive ultrasonic sync function. With a wide selection of frequency tuning options, you can avoid a diverse range of potential interference sources. And with a commonly-used coupling convention, adapting your favourite microphone heads for use with the transmitter is a breeze.

Versatile Handheld Transmitter

Robust and reliable. The RE3-HHT combines professional performance with a lightweight and ergonomic design. With a commonly-used thread pattern (1.25'' diameter, 28 UN-2A thread pitch) for coupling microphone heads, you can easily adapt a wide variety of microphone heads to fit the transmitter to suit your needs. The transmitter itself boasts a robust and durable all-metal body, providing excellent reliability in even the most demanding of environments. The RE3-HHT is also extremely-easy to power using two AA alkaline or rechargeable NiMH cells.

You can also take advantage of an intuitive ultrasonic sync function, enabling you to sync your transmitter to your receiver with precise frequency tuning alongside other functional data. You also have plenty of frequency tuning options available, allowing you to avoid a plethora of potential interference sources. Plus, with handy charging contacts, you can use your transmitter with NiMH batteries (not included) and recharge them with ease using the Electro-Voice BC2 charging station (not included). This lets you charge your batteries without having to remove them from the transmitter itself.

823 - 832MHz and 863 - 865MHz Wireless Bands

The 863 - 865MHz band is license free across most of Europe, ideal for any small-scale application such as bands or public speakers who just need one channel without paying a license fee. For larger organisations or applications where a license may be required for insurance or other monitoring purposes, licenses for the 823 - 832MHz band are available from local authorities in many countries.
