Since its inception, the RE-1 has been applauded by numerous bands,

Designing a new EV wireless system proved a daunting task to even the

it had created a superior product in the RE-1, so creating a product that

was sonically superior was a tall order. However, EV’s engineers took
into account the wish lists from several of today’s top FOH engineers—as
well as customers from all walks of pro audio—and emerged with an
improvement to the RE-1. The result? Perhaps the best sounding and
most roadworthy professional wireless created in the industry to date.
EV’s new REV professional wireless system offers an array of new and
different features from its predecessor the RE-1. REV’s optimized analog
audio path was developed to provide the truest representation of a wired
microphone sound possible in a wireless system. In addition, R
PC software enables remote monitoring, control and programming over

•Complete monitor and control of all receiver front panel functions.
•Low battery or Low RF level alarms to alert you during a performance.
•Run all forms of ClearScan™ to select clear channels even when mixing
frequency bands.
•New ClearScan™ Analyzer mode allows you to sweep the entire band
and display the results like a frequency analyzer.
•Save and recall scenes or channel settings for different locations.
•Mute function lets you silence a noise channel at the receiver.
•Compatible with IRIS-Net™ audio networking software so you can monitor
your wireless microphones on the same network as your EV remote amplifiers.
•Software is included on CD-ROM with every REV receiver and updates
are available at no charge on the EV website www.electrovoice.com.

Customers also asked for the seamless integration of large numbers of wireless
systems. Factory set channel groups allow up to 16 systems to operate simultaneously
in one frequency band. 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 selection allows quick, simple
setup in crowded RF environments, which mitigates stress in critical, real-world
production situations.

REV offers two handheld options: a stylish metal compact handle for Concert and
Broadcast, and the user friendly Presentation Handheld for rental house and other
applications. As well as offering four capsule options, REV features EV’s one-of-a-kind
guitar optimization setting, which is unique to EV. Guitarists and bassists endorse the
REV for its superior, transparent sound, which lacks the artifacts and compression
most guitar wireless systems introduce to the signal path. REV is the only wireless
guitar system that preserves the tone each player has worked so hard to achieve.

“I’ve been around the world a dozen times with my EV wireless systems, without
incidence of failure. It sounds great. With the advent of the REV, I am even more
excited because they’re improved on wireless that already stands above the rest of
“
the competitors!”
— Bruce Reiter, FOH engineer
"Only EV wireless can handle the blood, guts and abuse of a GWAR show. I defy
any other touring pro to put his wireless mics through such carnage and still have
them work perfectly. We've been touring with the same EV wireless system for years
now, and it's still going strong. And next time we hit the road, it will be with the new
REV. For a night-after-night reliability and performance there's no other brand I trust
more. I'll show you a pile of broken equipment from other manufacturers. They just
can't hang. EV can."
— Jeremy Smith, FOH engineer
“Night after night I rely on the RE-1 to perform. Now, after hearing and using the
REV, I have to say that I’m floored by how great it sounds. All the best of the RE-1
and then some. Right on, guys!”
— Steve “Sonny” Taylor, FOH engineer
“George Clinton abuses wireless. Our tours are notoriously hard on equipment. EV
wireless is rugged and roadworthy and always sounds great. It’s made my job that
much easier! “

And I don’t trust just any other wireless –
I’m playing with the Prince of Darkness!”
