UHF Wireless Microphone System
Clean channel. Clear sound. Clever wireless™ .
Whether you’re performing at the local rock club, lecturing at
a corporate seminar, or speaking in a house of worship, the
Electro-Voice®RE-2™brings ease of use, clear sound,
and clean channels to wireless.
Electro-Voice invented the scanning wireless with
the EV®NRU, and reinvented wireless with the
professional touring RE-1™wireless microphone
system, which is currently on tour with Static-X,
Fishbone, and Simple Minds, to name a few. It’s been
applauded by numerous bands, performers, and sound
engineers as a complete wireless solution — combining
outstanding sound, simple set-up, and roadworthy
construction. Now Electro-Voice has risen to the next
level with the RE-2. A third-generation wireless system,
it’s affordable, professional, and designed for those
who are serious about their sound.
Where does the performing musician, corporate speaker, or religious leader
go for professional sound? To Electro-Voice, a company that has over 25 years
of experience in wireless innovations. The RE-2 wireless system takes frequency
agility to a whole new level… professional RE-1 grade power with previously
unmatched simplicity. You can also be assured that there will be no interference,
drop-outs, or compromised audio quality. Simply press the one touch
Auto-ClearScan™button and the receiver finds the clearest channel in seconds.
That’s it. You do your job as a professional performer, without the hassle
and headache associated with many other wireless systems.
The RE-2 brings clean channels, clear sound, and clever wireless to your
performance. Looking for a system that can accommodate electric guitar or bass?
Simply switch the unit to the unique “guitar” setting to turn the receiver/
transmitter into an optimized guitar wireless system. The RE-2 is also available
with three different microphone elements to fit the vocalist’s individual style
and application – from the popular N/DYM 267a dynamic and RE 410
condenser heads to the flagship Electro-Voice™767a dynamic head, there is
a sound to suit any need.
BOTTOM LINE: When only the very best in wireless technologies
will do, step up to the Electro-Voice RE-2 Wireless…
You perform like a pro — now sound like a pro™ .

Special Guitar Feature:
The RE-2 Bodypack system is the only
wireless in the world with software con-
trolled optimization for guitar opera-
tion. Hold the SET button down while

and a guitar symbol on the LCD display
shows you that it is now in guitar mode.
Plug in the MAC-G3 accessory guitar
cord and you are ready to rock.
