Dollar for Dollar......The Best

Great microphone for both studio use and broadcast via amateur radio. I get rave reviews for my audio on ham radio when using this mic. The accessories from Heil are excellent as well and have made the use of the mic with different radios a breeze. It's been well worth the money.

Excellent!

Excellent quality, highly recommend it if you're looking for top notch audio quality. We use ours' for a podcast. We hardly have to adjust anything in post production, which is a dream.

An embodiment of superior audio technology, the Heil PR 40 Large Diameter Dynamic Cardioid Studio Microphone is renowned for its expansive frequency range, outperforming all other dynamic microphones in the Heil PR series. This studio-grade microphone integrates Heil's profound expertise in phasing plug placement, complemented by a substantial 1-inch, low mass diaphragm, and bespoke magnet metals, all encased within a specially engineered microphone body.

The PR 40's diaphragm is meticulously shock-mounted, ensuring it is entirely de-coupled from the anodized Champagne matte-finished steel body. This design feature enhances the microphone's durability while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. The microphone is also equipped with dual mesh screens, each constructed with varying diameter screen apertures, and an internal breath blast filter located on the diaphragm element. This combination ensures an exceptional response to the human voice across the entire vocal range, eliminating any disruptive "popping" noises.

The PR 40 delivers a flawless, smooth, and flat response, ranging from 28 Hz to 18k Hz. This wide frequency range makes it an ideal microphone for a variety of applications, from capturing crystal clear vocals to recording the deep resonance of bass drums and tom drums, or the rich tones of guitar and bass cabinets.

Professionals in the sound recording and reinforcement industry often refer to the PR 40 as the "thoroughbred work-horse," a testament to its robust performance and reliability. The PR 40 is available in an elegant champagne finish, as well as gold plate or chrome plate options. Each PR 40 model comes complete with an adjustable cast metal microphone holder, housed in a padded Leatherette bag with a molded foam insert for added protection. Experience the unparalleled sound quality and performance of the Heil PR 40 Large Diameter Dynamic Cardioid Studio Microphone.
