Heil Sound has announced an upgrade to its PR 35 handheld dynamic microphone.

Alongside cosmetic changes in the form of a new chassis, significant internal improvements have also been made. Rear rejection –a strength with the PR series of mics from Heil – is -42dB with the upgrade. A concealed two-position roll off switch replaces the former thumb switch.

Visually, the new model recalls those wired handheld vocal mics that could readily be identified on stage and on camera. The PR 35 ships with three interchangeable coloured trim collars that can be mixed and matched.

The PR 35 was introduced in 2008 and quickly found favor with artists such as Joe Walsh, Charlie Daniels, Stevie Wonder and others. The price of the upgraded version of the mic remains unchanged; it is available now.
