How to install Electro-Voice RE3-ND86-5H Wireless Microphone System

• Place the multi-channel receiver in a central, elevated location with a clear line of sight to the stage. Connect the receiver’s outputs to your mixer or powered speakers using balanced XLR cables for optimal signal integrity.

• Install fresh batteries into each ND86 handheld transmitter and switch them on. Confirm that power indicators illuminate on both the transmitters and the receiver for a secure link.
• Conduct a quick gain-staging check. Start with conservative input levels on the mixer, then gradually raise each channel's gain on the receiver and adjust the mic’s volume on the transmitter to achieve a clean, distortion-free vocal signal.
• Run a thorough sound check with all performers. Address any feedback hotspots by adjusting mic placement, proximity, and equalization, and ensure each mic’s tone is balanced for the room’s acoustics.
• Secure all cables and place handheld mics on stands or within easy reach for performers. If rack-mounting, ensure proper ventilation and cable management to prevent overheating or accidental disconnections.
