About Heil Sound HDK-8

With the Heil HDK-8 Primo Dynamic Drum Cardioid Microphone Kit, you can capture the true essence of your drumming performance. This comprehensive microphone collection is designed for professional audio recording and live performances, offering unparalleled versatility and quality.

The kit features the legendary PR 48 kick drum microphone, renowned for its excellent side and rear noise rejection and its ability to withstand high sound pressure levels (SPL) of up to 148 dB. This microphone is responsive from 30 Hz to 8.5K, with a 10 dB boost where it's needed most, delivering the most authentic kick drum sound you've ever heard.

The kit also includes two PR 22 handheld microphones, perfect for capturing the crisp sound of a snare drum from above and below. These microphones incorporate a large 1.125" diaphragm and a patent-pending ISO BAND isolation mounting, ensuring greater articulation across its entire wide, flat frequency range with minimal handling noise.

For toms and other percussion instruments, the kit provides three PR 28 drum microphones. These microphones are engineered with a dual suspension dynamic element to eliminate unwanted vibrations and noise, even in the most extreme settings.

To complement the PR 38 kick drum mic, the kit includes two PR 30B studio microphones, ideal for overhead cymbals. These microphones feature a humbucking coil and a large shock-mounted diaphragm, ensuring that electronic noises won't affect your mix.

All microphones in the HDK-8 kit are dynamic element mics with tight cardioid patterns, producing quality, linear sound. They are designed to bring out the best in your drum kit, rather than "manufacturing sound".

The HDK-8 kit also comes with three HH-1 patent-pending mic clips and two HM Standard mic clips, all housed in a rugged hard-shell carrying case for easy transportation and storage.

Whether you're a rock, jazz, blues, funk, or any other genre drummer, the Heil HDK-8 Primo Dynamic Drum Cardioid Microphone Kit is designed to help you capture the best possible sound from your drum kit.
