Electro-VoiceWireless head with ND86 capsule

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built as a dynamic thread-on vocal head for wireless handheld transmitters, the ND86-RC3 combines a large Mylar diaphragm with a shock-mounted capsule to keep mechanical vibration out of the mix. Its free-spinning ID collar can be aligned before the head is fully tightened. A hydrophobic diaphragm membrane and humbucking coil add protection against debris, moisture, AC hum, and electromagnetic interference. The head uses the common three-contact-ring, 1.25-inch/28-thread coupling convention.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Wireless handheld vocal setups needing a thread-on head with handling-noise reduction.
- Stage setups positioned near speaker cabinets or equipment racks generating electromagnetic interference.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Transmitters that do not use the common three-contact-ring, 1.25-inch diameter, 28-thread-pitch coupling convention.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can the branding be aligned with the transmitter?
Yes. The captured ID collar rotates freely until the head is tightened, then remains locked in its selected orientation.
02What frequency response is listed?
The far response is 70 Hz–17 kHz; the close response is 30 Hz–17 kHz.
03What pickup pattern is specified?
The specifications list a supercardioid polar pattern.
