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.

Just imagine capturing the purest sound with the Heil PR40 Large Diameter Dynamic Cardioid Studio Microphone, a high-quality, professional-grade audio equipment renowned for its unparalleled frequency range. This dynamic microphone, encased in a chrome body and grill, stands out in the Heil PR series, offering the broadest frequency range, extending from a deep 28 Hz to a soaring 18k Hz.

The PR40 is a testament to Heil's profound understanding of phasing plug placement, featuring a substantial 1" low mass diaphragm and custom magnet metals, all housed within a meticulously designed microphone body. This unique construction ensures a flawless, smooth, and flat response across the entire vocal range, making it an ideal choice for recording vocals, bass drums, tom drums, guitar, and bass cabinet mic'ing.

The PR40's diaphragm is expertly shock-mounted, completely de-coupled from the anodized Champagne matte-finished steel body, ensuring durability and reliability. This versatile microphone also incorporates dual mesh screens, each crafted with different diameter screen apertures, and an internal breath blast filter on the diaphragm element itself. This innovative design effectively eliminates "popping" noises, providing superb response for the human voice.

Known by professionals as the "thoroughbred work-horse" of professional sound recording and reinforcement, 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, safely nestled in a padded leatherette bag with a molded foam insert, ensuring your microphone is always protected and ready for use.

In essence, the Heil PR40 Large Diameter Dynamic Cardioid Studio Microphone is a versatile, reliable, and high-quality choice for those seeking professional-grade audio recording.
