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.

The Heil PR40 Large Diameter Dynamic Cardioid Studio Microphone, with its sleek black body and striking gold grill, is a standout in the Heil PR series, boasting the broadest frequency range of any dynamic microphone in the lineup. This exceptional microphone is a testament to Heil's profound understanding of phasing plug placement, featuring a substantial 1-inch, low mass diaphragm, and custom magnet metals, all encased within a uniquely designed microphone body.

The PR40's diaphragm is expertly shock-mounted, ensuring it is entirely de-coupled from the anodized Champagne matte-finished steel body, enhancing the microphone's durability and performance. This microphone is equipped with dual mesh screens, each crafted with varying diameter screen apertures, and an internal breath blast filter located on the diaphragm element. This innovative design ensures an outstanding response for the human voice across the entire vocal spectrum, eliminating the issue of "popping" noises.

The PR40 delivers a flawless, smooth, flat response, ranging from 28 Hz up to 18k Hz. This wide frequency range makes it an ideal microphone for a variety of applications, from capturing vocals to mic'ing bass drums, tom drums, guitar, and bass cabinets. Known among professionals as the "thoroughbred work-horse" of professional sound recording and reinforcement, the PR40 is a versatile and reliable choice for any recording scenario.

The PR40 is available in a variety of finishes, including champagne, gold plate, or chrome plate. Each PR40 model comes with an adjustable cast metal microphone holder, housed in a padded Leatherette bag with a molded foam insert, ensuring your microphone is protected and ready for use wherever your sound recording needs take you.
