A Capsule Designed for Electro-Voice Wireless Handheld Systems
The RE520-RC3 is a replacement/upgrade capsule designed to restore the expected sonic character of a stage handheld microphone while benefiting from the speed and detail level typical of a condenser capsule. It naturally integrates into the Electro-Voice RE3 ecosystem and targets users seeking a more refined vocal reproduction than a classic dynamic capsule.
For Which Singers and Contexts?
Ideal for live performances (concerts, places of worship, event shows), this capsule is aimed at voices that seek articulation and projection in the mix. Its supercardioid pattern is particularly suited for noisy stages and environments where monitor feedback must remain controlled.
Design and Performance Serving the Stage
With an extended frequency response and a maximum SPL over 139 dB, the RE520-RC3 handles powerful voices without distortion. Its required power supply of 4 to 8 V and 3-point interface ensure proper integration with compatible handheld transmitters, providing reliable daily use.
