How to install Electro-Voice Handheld with RE520 Head
- Start by confirming you have a compatible Electro-Voice wireless receiver that operates within the same 488-524MHz band. Ensure the receiver is properly powered and connected to the mixer or audio system as per your venue’s setup.
- Power on the receiver and place it in a ready state for pairing. Use the receiver’s channel scan or auto-scan feature to identify a clear, interference-free channel. If your system supports it, run a quick RF check across the available channels to confirm stability.
- Power on the handheld transmitter. If the RE520 head is not pre-attached, securely attach the RE520 microphone head to the handheld grip, ensuring a snug fit and proper orientation for optimal pickup. Check that the on-microphone capsule is clean and unobstructed.
- Match the transmitter to the receiver. Depending on your EV model, you may need to sync or pair the handheld with the receiver. Follow the device prompts to establish a robust RF link, indicated by a stable link LED or indicator on both units.
- Set gain and sensitivity. With the receiver, adjust the input gain to achieve clean, strong levels without distortion. Conduct a quick test by speaking at your normal performance distance and volume, then adjust so the peaks stay well below distortion while keeping vocals present and dynamic.
- Perform a sound check with the performer. Verify that the RE520 head captures the voice clearly, monitor for any feedback or handling noise, and make minor EQ adjustments if needed. Confirm that movement around the stage does not cause dropouts or strange tonal shifts.
- Secure the setup for performance. Clip or place the receiver in a stable location, route cables as needed, and remind the artist to hold the microphone at a consistent distance from the mouth for optimal results. Store any unused handhelds or accessories in their designated travel cases when not in use.
