LECTROSONICS UT HANDHELD W HEIL SOUND PR20 CAPSULE









First combined product offering unites two complementary technologies



Rio Rancho, NM… Lectrosonics, recognized the world over as a leading manufacturer of wireless microphone systems and audio processing products, and Heil Sound, creators of world-class microphones for recording, live sound, and broadcast professionals, are pleased to announce they have entered into a strategic partnership. The agreement—reached in late November 2007—combines two of professional audio’s leading technology producers, with the result being a new handheld wireless microphone destined to re-define the landscape for high quality, professional wireless microphone systems.
The first product resulting from the combined effort is known as the Lectrosonics UTPR20. Combining the capsule from Heil Sound’s legendary PR20 dynamic microphone—recognized as one of the industry’s premier instruments for vocals, snare, and cymbals—with Lectrosonics highly acclaimed UT Series Digital Hybrid Wireless® transmitters; this new handheld wireless microphone system integrates two leading technologies into a single device. The Lectrosonics UT transmitter makes the most of the PR20 capsule with its Digital Hybrid Wireless technology, thus ensuring compandor-free audio for wide dynamic range and neutral frequency response.
The new UTPR20 will have a distinctive look when compared to the standard UT transmitters in the Lectrosonics line. The UTPR20 employs Heil's grill basket and capsule identifier ring. At the foot of the transmitter, this exciting new product features a gold-colored battery access ring to match the unit’s overall color scheme. Featuring 100 mW RF power that facilitates long range application usage, 256 synthesized frequencies, and full compatibility with Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless and analog receivers, the new UTPR20 is a state-of-the-art, handheld wireless microphone system incorporating many advanced features that provides users with a wide range of possibilities for high-quality speech and vocal performance.




Lectrosonics will show the new UTPR20 at Winter NAMM in January 2008, and anticipates delivery of this product in February 2007. MSRP is estimated at US$1695.
