4 Glossary of terms
Term Definition
System vs set Because the terms system and set can be used interchangeably, thereby
causing confusion, this manual refers to set as a single mated pair of one
transmitter and one receiver. Whereas, a system is the collection of multiple
wireless sets and antenna distribution items.
Set A pre-packaged combination of receiver, receiver antenna, receiver power
supply, transmitter, transmitter input device, and other supplied accessories.
For example, if you purchased an RE3-ND76-5L , the manufacturer considers
it a set. In addition, it is the basic hardware combination of a mated
transmitter and receiver.
SET A multi-purpose menu navigation key that functions as an enter key, a menu
advance key, an item select key, and a save or store key.
Scroll To navigate up and down menus or item options using the ▲ and ▼ buttons.
Group A predefined combination of intermodulation-free frequencies.
Channel As it relates to frequencies within a group within a group, a set can be turned
to the exact frequency.
As it relates to a multi-channel system, it is the quantity of unique paired
transmitters and receivers. For example, a multi-channel system consisting of
eight receivers and eight mated transmitters is called an eight-channel
system.
Intermodulati
on
The adverse reception interference that occurs when two or more non-
coordinated frequencies produce harmonics that disrupt reception of one or
more channels.
SYNC The operation of synchronizing a receiver's transmitter data to the mated
transmitter.
RX Abbreviation for receiver.
TX Abbreviation for transmitter.
RF Abbreviation for radio frequency, RE3 is an RF wireless microphone set
operating in the UHF radio spectrum.
UHF Abbreviation for ultra-high frequency, and is the term when applied to
wireless microphone products as the portion of radio spectrum shared with
UHF television signals between 470 MHz and 865 MHz . Those limits vary by
country where used.
MHz Abbreviation for megahertz denoting frequencies measuring in the millions of
cycles per second. A common reference for wireless microphones using this
shortened numerical expression could be 652.725 MHz (six-hundred fifty-two
million, seven hundred twenty-five thousand cycles per second).

Multi-channel
system
A system made up of two or more sets where each set is tuned to a specific
frequency (channel) which does not interfere with the operation of other
member sets within the system. A multi-channel system can be made up of
sets all from the same frequency band, or sets from multiple frequency
bands.
When using multiple sets operating in the same frequency band, each set
must be operating on a frequency-coordinated channel within the same
group.

5 Best practices for successful operation
– Never attempt to operate two or more transmitters on the same frequency at the same
time. While multiple receivers can successfully tune to a single transmitted frequency,
multiple transmitters simultaneously operating on the same frequency immediately
interfere with each other. If a goal is to create a combo system by adding an optional
transmitter (one Bodypack transmitter and one handheld transmitter to work with one
receiver), only one of those transmitters can be on and tuned to the receiver at a time.
– Ensure that the receiver's antennas are properly attached, exposed (not buried within a
rack) and oriented as suggested in
Preparing the receiver, page 18
.
– Scan for open frequencies first with transmitter off. The receiver antennas must be
properly connected for best scan results.
– When scanning and synchronizing a multi-channel system, scan and synchronize one
system at a time. To begin, have all transmitters off and scan system receiver 1. Then turn
on system transmitter 1 and sync it to receiver 1. Leaving system transmitter 1 on, move
to receiver 2. With system transmitter 1 on, scan system receiver 2 and tune it to the next
open frequency within the same group as system transmitter 1. Turn on system
transmitter 2 and sync it to system receiver 2. Then leave system transmitter 2 on. Follow
this process while scanning and syncing all channels within a multi-channel system.
– Always have all member sets of a multi-channel system within the same frequency band
operating in the same frequency group. Mixing frequencies (channels) from different
groups within the same frequency band is not recommended. Channels within a group
are intermodulation-free. Simultaneous operation of channels from different groups may
lead to intermodulation interference.
– If required, use the receiver's mic configuration menu items to set transmitter operating
parameters prior to syncing the transmitter to the receiver. If a receiver's mic
configuration is changed since the last transmitter sync, resync the transmitter to update
its parameter settings.
– Properly setting transmitter sensitivity is key to optimum performance. Best practice:
While observing the receiver's AF meter activity, adjust the transmitter sensitivity so that
high vocal peaks light the yellow LED segment. Under extremely loud vocal peaks, an
occasional red LED segment light is OK, but a solid and constant red LED should be
avoided.
– Choosing transmitter low or high power: The transmitter in your set may have two output
power setting options (8M band has only one). The higher setting may not be appropriate
for your application. It is possible that high is too high based on the distance between the
transmitter and the receiver antennas, or other systems within close proximity in a multi-
channels system. Low is likely to be sufficient when the set is in a small to medium size
room or space. High may be the best choice for large rooms or spaces where the distance
between transmitter and receiver antennas is substantial or existing RF conditions limit
the range between transmitter and receiver. Simple performance tests help identify best
settings, and having two output power options aid in successful operation.
– A large multi-channel system can be made up of sets operating in different frequency
bands. This is a good method to follow when maximizing a high channel count system
potential. Based on RF conditions in the operating vicinity, select appropriate numbers of
sets from available bands in your country to achieve a desired high channel count system.

6 Quick setup
6.1 Preparing the receiver
1. Remove the receiver, packaged power supply kit and two antennas from the product
carton.
2. Place the receiver either on a stable flat surface or in a 19” rack using the rack kit
supplied.
3. Locate the power supply and attach the supplied AC wall outlet clip, which is appropriate
for your country’s mains power by sliding it into the power supply head, and plug the DC
power lead end of the cable into the receiver DC input jack.
4. Locate, unwrap, and attach the two supplied receiver antennas by inserting them onto
the receiver’s BNC antenna jacks and locking them into place by applying a right-hand
twist. Take special care to ensure the receiver antennas are exposed to open air, not
touching any items that would ground them, and oriented 90 degrees to one another and
positioned at 45 degrees relative to the floor.
5. Turn on the receiver by pressing the power button.
6. Ensure the transmitter for this set is turned off.
7. Press the scan button and follow the scanning instructions described in Scanning for
open channels, page 24.
8. After the scan is complete, select the group and channel from the results list which best
matches your system needs.
9. Follow the scanning instructions in Scanning for open channels, page 24 to return the
receiver’s display to the home screen.
10. Leave the receiver on until the desired mating transmitter has been prepared and synced.
6.2 Preparing the transmitter
1. Remove the transmitter, batteries, and input device (if supplied) from the product carton.
2. Insert the batteries into the transmitter paying close attention to the battery polarity (+
and -) and matching those polarities to the + and - poles of the battery compartment
battery clips.
3. Connect the transmitter’s input device to the transmitter (a bodypack set contains either
a lavalier microphone, headworn microphone, or instrument cable - a handheld set
contains a thread-on microphone head.
4. Turn on the transmitter by pressing the power button.
6.3 Sync the transmitter to the receiver
1. Locate the transmitter’s sync port and the receiver’s sync emitter, which are both
identified with the symbol.
2. Maintaining direct line of sight and a separation distance of two to twelve inches between
the transmitter and receiver ports.
3. Directly aim the transmitter sync port at the receiver sync emitter.
4. Press the sync button on the front of the receiver to begin the syncing process (green
LED flashes on receiver).
5. Hold the transmitter in place until the sync process is complete. Upon successful sync,
the transmitter tunes to the receiver and ready for use.

6.4 Ensure transmitter input sensitivity is set for best signal level
1. While viewing receiver AF meter activity, perform as you would in a normal performance
using proper microphone placement.
2. Observe the AF meter LED segments. Ideal level should show all green LEDs and the
yellow LED lit on emphasis peaks. An occasional reed LED is OK, but a constant, solid red
LED should be avoided.
3. Adjust transmitter input sensitivity until step 2 is achieved.
Upon successful completion of this section, your set is ready for operation.

7.3.9 Adjusting receiver squelch
Setting the squelch appropriately based on conditions is important to controlling background
radio noise, as well as maintaining the desired radio system range (the functional distance
between transmitter and receiver antennas). Squelch is a noise gate across the receiver's
audio path that is keyed open by a combination of audio path signal level, and the presences
of a unique combination of tone codes in the received signal. Squelch sets the threshold
where the received signal amplitude will open the noise gate. Signals above the threshold will
open the audio path gate, while signal levels below the threshold will not open the gate.
NOTE: Improperly set squelch negatively affects system range (the distance between
transmitter and receiver).

8.3 Installing batteries
– While gripping the transmitter handle/battery cover section (item 2 shown above) with
one hand, grip the control section (item 3 shown above) with the other hand. Using a left-
hand twist, unscrew the control section until it is free from the handle. Slide the control
section away from the handle until the battery compartment (item 6 shown above) is fully
exposed.
– Gently rotate the hinged protective battery cover to expose the battery chamber. Note
the battery polarity markings (+ and -) on the protective cover. Both positive (+) contacts
are adjacent to the control section male threads.
– Install two fresh, high quality AA alkaline batteries (or fully charged AA size NiMH
rechargeable cells) paying close attention to match the polarity markings (+ and -) on
each battery to the polarity markings (+ and -) of the battery contacts as shown on the
battery cover.
– Once both new batteries are properly installed, rotate the hinged protective battery cover
downward until the cover is in contact with the batteries.
– Applying the same gripping technique used while opening the transmitter to expose the
batteries, gently slide the battery compartment back inside the handle until the control
section can move no further. Using a right hand twist, screw the control section onto the
handle section until it is tightly threaded on. Be careful not to overtighten the threads.

11.2 Frequently asked questions
Q - Why was my system working fine at sound check, then suddenly it started getting
interference during the performance?
A - Using RF wireless can be quite tricky. Sources of competitive RF are everywhere, and they
can appear unpredictably. A competing RF signal that wasn’t present during your sound check
probably went active during the show. This could be another member of the wireless
microphone community in the venue that was off during sound check - possibly another
performer’s wireless rig was turned on during your show, and now is interfering with your
system. The source could also be a computer (CPU) positioned near the receiver or antennas
that wasn’t on earlier. It could even be as pesky as a cell phone near either the transmitter or
receiver, which while not being used for a call, is sending GPS signals periodically, emitting a
signal (if close enough to the transmitter or receiver) which could be creating sporadic audible
interference. To resolve, rescan the receiver and select a new clear frequency. Then resync the
transmitter to the new receiver data.
Q - It seems that when the performer walks way out into the audience, the system starts
losing signal. Why am I not getting the range from the system I need?
A - This could indicate a variety of influencing factors. The first thing to check is if your system
is, or is not, sharing a frequency with another signal at the receiver. While observing the
receiver’s RF meter, turn off the transmitter. If the RF meter continues to show signal after the
transmitter is off, your transmitter is competing with another signal at the receiver. To solve,
perform the scan process, tune the receiver to a new clear frequency, then turn on and sync
the transmitter to the new receiver data. The second thing to check is receiver antenna
placement and cables. Ensure that your antennas are out in the open in the shared space of
the transmitter (meaning not behind walls or in another room), away from reflective or
grounding surfaces, and connected to the receiver with appropriately-rated 50Ω BNC-
terminated coax cable. The third thing to check is the receiver squelch. Many times, having the
squelch set too high will greatly reduce system range. Try lowering the squelch (number value)
RE3 UHF Wireless Troubleshooting and FAQ | en 59
Electro-Voice

02-2023 | 05 | F.01U.362.808
to increase system range. The fourth thing to check is transmitter output power. If a
compromised range is accompanied with low RF signal on the receiver’s RF meter, set the
transmitter output power to high, then look for improved range.
Q - Why is it hard to find an open frequency in my location?
A - RE3 shares the UHF radio spectrum primarily with UHF television broadcasters.
Geographically, some broadcast areas are more densely packed with television broadcast
signals than others. A full system scan looks through the entire tuning bandwidth of the
receiver and will locate frequencies which are not affected by UHF television or other RF
signals. Knowing your local RF environment is important. Those local television stations which
broadcast their strong and wide signals into the air are regulated by the government, and
consulting government databases will help identify the frequency areas occupied by local
broadcasters. RE3 tuning bandwidths are relatively wide, allowing generous tuning options,
however if the airwaves aligning with your particular RE3 tuning bandwidth are filled up with
UHF television, finding open frequencies will be difficult. Selecting the best band for your area
is important. Something to consider is if you are using your RE3 set in the USA or Canada, the
6M band will have no competing UHF television signals because 653-663MHz is designated for
wireless microphones only as a result of the reallocation of 600MHz initiatives.
Q - I manually created frequencies for my multi-channel system. Why am I getting
interference between the channels?
A - Manually creating custom tuning schemes without the assistance of frequency coordination
software may contribute to the problem described. RE3 frequency groups are strategically
created to be intermodulation free using advanced frequency coordination software. It's likely
that your self-made grouping has created destructive intermodulation artifacts which would be
avoided by staying with our factory groups. Use RE3 factory groupings. They work well.
Q - Why doesn’t the extra RE3 transmitter I bought online work with my RE3 set?
A - The set you originally purchased was pre-configured with a matching transmitter and
receiver, which both operate in the same frequency band (5L, 5H, 6M, etc.). If you add
another transmitter, it has to be of the same frequency band to work. As this particular
question is about additional transmitters, it should be pointed out that adding a second
transmitter to an existing set with plans to use both transmitters at the same time with the
one existing receiver will not work. At any given time, one of the two transmitters tuned to the
receiver’s frequency must be off. If they are both on and the same time, substantial
interference will occur.
Q - Will the lavalier microphone I have with my older RE-2 system work with RE3?
A - Yes. Legacy Electro-Voice bodypack transmitter input devices with 4-pin mini connectors
are compatible with RE3.
Q - I want to put together an eight-channel RE3 system with two remote antennas on the
stage feeding the receiver rack. What do I need?
A - First, choose the frequency band or bands your system will be operating in. Based on your
location, you’ll need to evaluate available spectrum and how it aligns with the RE3 band
options. Knowing that information, one option would be to select the same band for all eight
sets. Another option is to split the eight by selecting four sets from one band, and the other
four from another band, thereby allowing room to compensate for unforeseen changes. You’ll
probably be rack mounting your receivers, so you’ll need four RMK2 dual rack mount kits,
which will mount the eight receivers in four rack spaces. You’ll need two AASP active antenna
splitters which will cascade the RF from two antennas into the eight receivers. You’ll need
either two PLPA passive log periodic antennas, or two ALPA active log periodic antennas on
stage. They will mount on standard microphone stands. Choosing between the two will be
influenced by coverage area and the length of antenna cable between antenna and receiver
60 en | Troubleshooting and FAQ RE3 UHF Wireless
02-2023 | 05 | F.01U.362.808
User Manual
Electro-Voice
rack. The PLPA, although passive, has 10dB of passive gain, and may be fine if the receiver
rack is on stage, however the ALPA active antenna has adjustable gain (selectable 3dB and
10dB amplified), and if the cable run to the receiver rack is lengthy, it may be the best choice.
You decide. You’ll need TWO low-loss coax cables to run the antenna signals to the first AASP
splitter. Choices are RE3-ACC-CXU25 twenty-five foot, RE3-ACC-CXU50 fifty foot, RE3-ACC-
CXU75 seventy-five foot, or RE3-ACC-CXU100 one hundred foot. The splitter has all cables
required if you connect your remote antenna cables to the rear of the first AASP, but if you
want to attach the antenna cables at the front of the rack, you’ll need to add an RE3-ACC-
CXUF rear to front mount antenna cable kit. That should do it.
Q - Why am I not seeing much audio level on my receiver AF meter?
A - The transmitter input sensitivity likely needs to be adjusted. It has 30dB of adjustment
(-15dB at lowest gain to +15dB at highest gain). On the transmitter, press and hold SET until
the characters on the display begin to flash. Continue to progressively press SET until
reaching the sensitivity parameter. Press the up button to increase the displayed value.
Pressing SET will store the new setting. Continue working with this setting until the receiver’s
AF meter yellow LED is lighting upon high voice peaks. An occasional red LED will be OK.
Q - My receiver is in lock mode. How do I unlock it?
A - Press and hold the SET button for two seconds then use down button to select OFF. Then
press SET. Receiver is unlocked.
Q - Why does my receiver RF meter show RF signal present before I turn on the mated
transmitter?
A - There is a competing RF signal now present on that frequency. With the RE3 transmitter
off, follow the scan process and select a new clear frequency. Then turn on the transmitter
and resync it to the receiver’s new data.
Q - The frequency I’ve had my set tuned to has always worked flawlessly. Why is it that
when I traveled to an out-of-town gig, I’m getting interference there?
A - RF environments change city-to-city. When traveling, it’s important to remember that UHF
television broadcasts are not always on the same channel in every city. Something in the city
or venue you traveled to is different. Follow the scan process and select a new clear
frequency. Then turn on the transmitter and resync it to the receiver’s new data.
Q - Our RE3 systems have been working fine in the small venue we play. We decided to try
high power on the lead vocal mic transmitter, and now we’re having all kinds of problems.
What could be wrong?
A - In your small venue, high output power on any or all of your mics may be too much because
of transmitter-to-transmitter, and transmitter-to-receiver proximity. Too much RF gain can
actually be more destructive than low RF gain. High RF gain is most useful for long
transmission distances, but at short distances, it may contribute to intermodulation with
nearby transmitters and receivers. If the low power setting was working for you, switch back
to it.
Q - I have a long distance between where I want my antennas mounted and where the
receivers will be located. Do I need antenna boosters and high-end coax?
A - This might be a very good idea. The purpose of using antenna boosters and/or active
antennas is to compensate for the signal loss incurred by the antenna-to-receiver coax cable
run. The system you describe will be improved with active RF antenna components and low-
loss coax. Coax cable performance is measured by loss factors, i.e., dB of loss per 100 meters.
The goal is to deliver to the receiver the approximate RF gain which is received at the antenna.
The RE3 optional antenna coax cables should perform as per: 25-foot CXU25 will lose
approximately 1.3 dB on the run, the 50-foot CXU50 will lose approximately 1.4 dB on the run,
the 75-foot CXU75 will lose approximately 2.4 dB on the run, and the 100-foot CXU100 will
RE3 UHF Wireless Troubleshooting and FAQ | en 61
Electro-Voice
User Manual
02-2023 | 05 | F.01U.362.808
lose approximately 4.4 dB on the run. Factoring in the gains of the antennas, the passive log
periodic PLPA is +10 dB, the active log periodic ALPA is either +3 dB or +10 dB (selectable),
and the active booster RFAMP is +10 dB. So for example, if your antenna cable run is 100 feet,
and you deploy ALPA (set to +10 dB) followed by CXU100 (-4.4 dB), the net RF gain at the
receiver is approximately +5.6 dB, which is fine. A handy way to think of it is booster/antenna
gain minus cable loss equals net received RF gain. We should also emphasize that an RF
boosting device should precede the loss, not make up for it after the loss (place a booster at
the antenna location, and not the receiver location).
Q - I’m using an RE3 bodypack wireless for my bass guitar with active pickups and I’m
blasting the receiver hard. What could be wrong?
A - Your bodypack transmitter input pad should be engaged. Locate the -20 dB attenuator
setting in the menu and set it to ON. If further transmitter audio signal gain reduction is
necessary, locate the sensitivity setting in the menu and bring the sensitivity down a few dB as
well.
