PROFESSIONAL
MICROPHONE
SYSTEM

The loudspeaker arrays have gone up. The stage design is
finished. The pyrotechnics have been coordinated. The front-
of-house engineer has everything tweaked to his liking. Yet, he
takes the time to test and retest the wireless several times. Why?
Because like most engineers worth their weight, this guy knows
that poor wireless can ruin a show. t is absolutely essential that
everything work 100% — with no drop-outs or interference —
all systems go, without-a-hitch.
Where does the engineer turn to minimize the stress of his job?
To Electro-Voice®, a company that has over 25 years of experience
in wireless innovations. The RE-1™Wireless system takes frequency
agility to a whole new level... touring market power with unmatched
simplicity. The clear channels have always been there — but it took
EV to bring them to your fingertips. Now you can feel secure that
even the most crowded RF environments — places like New York City
or the San Francisco Bay area — are fully manageable with the
Electro-Voice RE-1!
So, when the demands of high-energy, real-world touring present
themselves, be prepared... whether the show is in Yankton, South
Dakota or Dallas, Texas, performers have to sound their very
best. Wired or wireless, professional sound engineers will tell
you that there is absolutely no room for mistakes in the
production of upscale performances. Bottom line: When only
the very best in wireless technologies will do, step up to the
Electro-Voice RE-1™Wireless...

PROFESSIONAL MICROPHONE SYSTEM
Transmitter Features
• Unique “smart” battery circuit in the
transmitters means there is no way
to put the battery in wrong.
• LCD display and the same four control
buttons as the receiver so programming
a channel or frequency is quick and easy.
• Low battery LED will light when the
battery needs a replacement.
• One on/off switch that also acts
as a mute, great for pauses in
presentations and worship services.
• On/off button can be disabled to
prevent accidental turnoffs
during a performance.
• Normal and High power trans-
mit means you use just enough
power for the application, which maxi-
mizes the number of simultaneous sys-
tems and limits RF spill over into adjacent
buildings/theaters.
Handheld Features
•Interchangeable microphone head allows
a choice of elements to fit the vocalist’s
style and environment.
•N/DYM®767a premium dynamic vocal
microphone with VOB™(Vocal-Optimized
Bass), excellent gain-before-feedback for
high SPL stages.
•The new RE-510 premium condenser
vocal microphone for experienced vocalists,
spoken word and quieter stages.
•Internal 1/2-wave antenna for excellent
range; stays out of harm’s way.
•An over-molded Warm-Grip™handle
reduces handling noise and encourages
proper microphone technique for
better performances.
RECEIVER FEATURES AND BENEFITS
•Optimized channel groups allow up to 16 systems to operate simultaneously in one
frequency band. For groups larger than 16, EV can help with the coordination and
custom groups are easily programmed.
•Programmable in 25 kHz steps across 24 MHz operating bandwidth, there
are over 950 possible channels so you can always find a clear channel.
•Advanced ClearScan™ , automatic group and channel selections, allows quick,
simple setup.
•Backlit LCD Display shows the Sound Engineer the Group/Channel, transmitter battery
status, diversity operation, RF and Audio level meters, and space for
a custom name (2 lines, 10 characters each).
•Specially designed “Sound Check”mode provides the ability for
one person to walk test the microphone in the performance space
with tangible results.
•Patented DSP Posi-Phase™Diversity System for maximum range and audio quality.
•Balanced XLR microphone output and 1/4-inch unbalanced adjustable line-level
output to match the application.
•CDR-1000 Dual Receiver includes internal power supply, headphone monitoring jack,
balanced line-level output, antenna pass through, DC power on antenna jacks for optional
RF amplifier, and RE-OneLink™PC software for remote monitoring and control.
•Rackmount hardware included.
•Three-Year Limited Warranty.
TRANSMITTER FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Bodypack Features
•Cast magnesium housing weighs only ounces but
is durable enough to take the pounding on tour.
•Detachable 1/4-wave antenna allows for easy
replacement or the use of different antenna options.
•Cell phone style beltclip included for quick and
easy attachment. Optional pouches also available
for wearing under costumes or for more
vigorous applications.
•EV has a wide selection of lapel and headworn
microphones and microphone accessories to go
with the RE-1 bodypack transmitter.
Unique Bodypack Features for Guitar Applications
•Dual band compander circuit provides the audio
bandwidth required to cover the lows of a bass
guitar to the highs of a solid body.
•Mic/Instrument switch adds a 20 dB pad in the
transmit path so the standard bodypack can be used
for microphone and guitars.
•Guitar patch cord featuring George L’s®cable with
solderless, interchangeable right angle and straight plugs
included to fit your guitar.
APD-4 ANTENNA DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
•Drives up to four CSR-1000 diversity receivers using a
single pair of antennas to conserve rack space and eliminate
the “antenna farm”.(8 TNC output and 2 front-mount antenna
cables included, 1/2-wave antennas sold separately.)
•Drive 24 receivers from one APD-4 and 2 antennas
using the antenna pass through splitter included on
every CDR-1000 Dual Receiver.
•Supports “cascade”arrangement of multiple APD-4
splitters to drive up to 16 CSR-1000 receivers using just
2 antennas.
•Power outputs for up to four CSR-1000 receivers help
conserve power strip space (4 cables included).
Advanced ClearScan™
Frequency agile wireless microphones solve many problems with
interference and compatibility. They also create a problem, how
do you know which channel is best to use in your application?
Advanced ClearScan scans the energy on each channel, and it
selects the clearest preset groups of up to 16 compatible
channels and the clearest channels within the clearest group.
Without a separate computer, difficult software, or an RF
consultant… with the touch of a couple of buttons and a few
seconds, Advanced ClearScan gives you the confidence of
knowing you have clear, compatible channels.

THE MENU KEY SELECTS THE CLEARSCAN MENU
PRESSING THE SET KEY STARTS THE SCANNING PROCESS
THE CLEAREST GROUP AND OPEN CHANNELS WITHIN THAT
GROUP ARE DISPLAYED.
PRESSING THE SET KEY ACCEPTS THE GROUP, RUNS CLEARSCAN
GROUP AND DISPLAYS THE OPEN CHANNELS IN ORDER OF CLEARNESS.
PRESSING THE SET KEY ACCEPTS THE CHANNEL, INSTALLS THE
GROUP AND CHANNEL AND RETURNS TO THE MAIN SCREEN.
ADVANCED
ADVANCED CLEARSCAN
™
INCLUDES THREE OPTIONS:
ClearScan™All
• Scans all 10 factory preset groups and any user-defined
groups that have channels assigned in them.
• The scan produces a list of open groups and channels
in order of maximum number of open channels.
• The results are displayed as the group number and the
open channels within that group starting with the most
open group. The Arrow keys allow you to step through
the other groups so you can see all of your options.
• Once you have selected the group you like, pressing
SET with that group showing starts the ClearScan
Group function.
ClearScan™Group
•Scans all of the channels in the currently selected group.
•The results are displayed in a screen that shows the
group number and all of the open channels listed in
the order of clearness.
•The Arrow keys allow you to scroll through the channels
to highlight the channel you want to install.
•Pressing the SET key installs the highlighted
group/channel and returns to the main operating screen.
•Set the transmitter group and channel to match and
set up is complete.
ClearScan™Band
•This unique feature scans the entire 24 MHz operating
band looking for clear frequencies, regardless of channels
and groups.
•This function can be used to find one clear frequency in
a very tough RF environment or find starting points for
custom channel programming.
•Since the frequencies returned from the ClearScan Band
function have not been screened for inter-modulation
problems, walk testing or coordination help from EV
would be required before multiple channels from
ClearScan Band results could be used at the same time.
Multiple System Setup with Advanced ClearScan™
•Because the factory preset groups are made up of
compatible channels, setting up to 8, 10 or even 16 systems
is a snap. Just run ClearScan All once to select a group
with enough free channels for all of your systems.
•Once the first system is set up, you simply leave that
transmitter on and run ClearScan Band on the next
receiver. The next clearest channel is then set on system
number two, leave that transmitter on and repeat until
all of the systems have channels assigned.
