How to install Electro-Voice RE3-RE420-5L wireless microphone system

Prepare the system for operation with these straightforward steps to ensure optimal performance and reliability on stage or in the classroom:

• Unpack all components and inspect for any shipping damage. Confirm that the receiver, handheld transmitter, RE420 microphone head, antennas, and power supplies are present.
• Place the receiver on a stable surface or rack, ensuring adequate ventilation and clear access to the front panel controls. Attach the supplied antennas and connect the power supply. If your kit uses rack ears, mount the receiver securely in your equipment rack.
• Connect the receiver’s output to your mixer, audio interface, or amplifier using the appropriate cable (XLR for balanced or 1/4" for unbalanced, depending on your system). Set the mixer input level to a comfortable range for your voice and music.
• Power on the receiver first, then the handheld transmitter. Use the receiver’s frequency scan or manual channel selection to locate an interference-free channel. If required by your model, sync the transmitter to the chosen channel so both units stay locked to the same frequency.
• Mount the RE420 microphone head on the transmitter, ensuring it is securely attached and oriented for optimal pickup. Switch the transmitter to the desired gain level by testing at typical speaking or singing distance. Monitor the signal using your mixer and adjust the receiver’s output gain to achieve clean, distortion-free sound with adequate headroom.
• Position the microphone head at a comfortable distance from the mouth (typically 1-2 inches for singing or spoken word). Avoid contact with clothing, jewelry, or harsh handling that could cause noise or handling sounds. If needed, use proximity adjustments and equalization to tailor the tone to your voice and the room acoustics.
• Perform a thorough soundcheck with your full setup. Listen for feedback, sibilance, or booming bass, and adjust EQ, compression, and levels accordingly. Save any preferred channel presets if your system supports them for quick recall on future performances.
