Heil PR-48 Kick Drum Mic Details
The Heil HDK drum kit series is a culmination of over 2 years spent on the road with leading drummers. They gave us their ideas, their dreams and their needs which we turned into reality. Every component of a drum kit needs special attention when it comes to reproducing the sound accurately. There are many drum microphones out there but the artists that helped design the Heil drum microphones wanted more accuracy, not just level. Each one of them were tired of little plastic toys that did not reproduce well. They all agreed, after hearing and using the new technologies of the Heil drum microphones, that they had never heard this level of quality reproduction.

The PR 48 kick drum microphone starts with our 1.5� large diaphragm dynamic element sealed in a vulcanized shock mount and fed with a specially designed low pass filter that creates a 10 dB rise from 60 to 100 Hz. � right where the kick drum resonates. We then stay out to 7.5 kHz and drop off drastically to eliminate any unwanted internal sounds. The total frequency response is 30Hz - 8.5kHz (4dB rise @ 4500Hz). Its rear rejection is -40dB @ 180� off axis. It can handle +148dB SPL.

The PR 48 metal housing was designed with a slanted entrance to the 3 pin XLR so the cable assembly is easier to connect. The microphone provides a 600 ohm balanced output.

What We Think
"The Heil PR-48 Kick Drum Mic features a PR-30 capsule and a special crossover which creates a sloping top end. In use the Heil PR-48 Kick Drum Mic is flat out THUNDEROUS. All the presence in the mid-range that Heil mics have become famous for on kick drums is still here in the PR-48. So, not only does it 'pop' in the mix like you need it to in the mids, but it feels like a cannon is going off in the room every time the kick drum is hit. Seriously, it's like a concussion-blast. The PR-48 is not a 'toppy' mic by any stretch, but I find that it takes high frequency eq well if you want to pile it on for that slappy beater sound up top. It just seems to do everything you've ever known a good kick drum mic to do... only better. Once you use one, it becomes quite clear that Heil's first dedicated offering for kick drum mic'ing already has a commanding seat at the big-boy's table". Alan Moon - Front End Audio
