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 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 PR 40 microphone boasts the widest frequency range of any dynamic mic in the Heil PR series. The PR 40 incorporates Heil's sage-like understanding of phasing plug placement, along with the use of a very large (1"), low mass diaphragm, and custom magnet metals housed in a specially designed microphone body.
The PR 40 diaphragm is shock mounted such that it is completely de-coupled from the anodized Champagne matte-finished steel body. In addition to dual mesh screens, each made with different diameter screen apertures, there is an internal breath blast filter on the diaphragm element itself, providing superb response for the human voice across the entire vocal range, without "popping" noises. In fact, the PR 40 will provide flawless, smooth, flat response from 28 Hz all the way up to the 18k Hz, making this a great microphone for everything from vocals, to bass drums and tom drums, to guitar and bass cabinet mic'ing and more.
In short, the PR 40 is known by professionals as the "thoroughbred work-horse" of professional sound recording and reinforcement.
The PR 40 is available in champagne, gold plate, or chrome plate. With all PR 40 models you get an adjustable cast metal microphone holder in a padded Leatherette bag with molded foam insert.
