HEIL PR-40 DYN STUDIO MIC LGE.DIAM CHAMPAGNE

Product Information

It’s really worth purchasing the bundle that includes accessories, such as the Heil Sound PRSMC Shock Mount and the Heil PL2T Microphone Boom arm.

It does, however, keep popping to a minimum when the mic is used for vocal work, and also helps avoid sibilance.You missed on the BEST DYNAMICS…you need to include the Telefunken M82, Beyer M99 and the Sennheiser MD441. Their condensers lack when driven hard, but the dynamics are built like Abrams tanks and sound pretty good for the money. The PR30 does better with electric guitar, snares, and toms, while the PR40 is better for kick drums and bass cabinets. Overrated dynamics to avoid (junk) EV RE320, EV RE27, EV RE16, Neumann BCM705, MXL BCD-1, RODE Podcaster, RODE Procaster.

A valid product review is one where you have personal experience or knowledge of the product that you would like to share with others. However, you do need to be aware that the level changes hugely between what you get from singing right up against the grille and what you get when working three inches or more away, so it would be a good idea to use a pop shield, just to keep the singer back at a safe distance.Either way, you know that if Bob Heil is involved in the design, you'll get something a bit out of the ordinary. All reviews cited that this microphone produced amazing low frequency sounds without distortion, pleasing mid-range, and high frequencies were soft, unhyped, and rich. Over the next few days, I will go over four microphones that I have personally used as a teacher or technology coach. Another bonus is that, because the high end extends up to 18kHz, you can use the mic in many applications where a capacitor model would normally used — and if you have a clean, quiet preamp, it sounds fabulous on acoustic guitar, revealing plenty of detail and a dense mid‑range, but without the glassy grittiness that some budget capacitor mics seem to impart to the sound. Comes with a clamp that has an adapter that screws in to allow the clamp to be used on different sized stands and boom arms.

I got some great djembe tones out of it, and on vocals it sounded impressively natural, but at the same time full and solid — which would be ideal for radio DJs, as well as for some types of studio vocal.

RoXdon also make the HPF-1 Metal Pop Filter which attaches nicely to the PR 40 and blocks any plosives and unwanted sounds hitting the microphone directly. Dynamic microphones, like the PR40, will focus on sound coming in from one place (you talk into the top end of the Heil PR40) whereas with condenser mics they’re picking up sounds all around the mic. At the moment, the PR40 is my main vocal mic; nothing I have sounds better on massed, multi-part harmonies. Aside from being excellent as a vocal microphone, most users appreciated this microphone's versatility in terms of its application.

The PR40 has a slightly “scooped” mid-range that may take the nasal “honk” and stuffiness out of your voice. I'm running it through a Focusrite Scarlett Solo and it needs the gain up near max if you don't want to be kissing the thing while you talk.
