Heil PR-30 Details

From the Professional division of Heil Sound, Ltd., we present the Heil PR-30, a professional quality dynamic cardioid microphone designed for commercial broadcast, recording and live sound reinforcement applications which require a smooth flat response over a wide frequency response. The PR-30 has a comparable sound to the finest condenser microphone because of it's wide frequency response, excellent transient response and low IMD. Following a 20 year Heil tradition, the new Heil PR-30 exhibits gorgeous natural speech articulation without having to apply heavy electronic equalization. Truly one of the most natural and pleasant sounding dynamic microphones, ever.

The Heil engineers have created a very rugged microphone with superior low handling noise by mounting the very wide frequency response dynamic element into a special sorbothane shock mount system. This low handling noise and exceptional lack of bass-boosting proximity effect makes it ideal for professional uses.

The Heil PR-30 achieves it's exceptional performance by using a special magnet structure and a large aluminum 1 1/8" low mass voice coil assembly. Special attention has been paid to the phasing plug assembly with equally placed ports that sense audio from behind the source entering them out of phase thus producing a very linear cardioid pattern and reduces the proximity effect while achieving the extreme articulation across it's smooth 40 - 18,000 Hz. frequency response. The new Heil 'PROLINE' element is usable in extreme high sound pressure levels and is immune to overload conditions as a condenser usually will be. It produces a beautifully smooth audio response without the inconvenience of phantom or outside d.c. powering.

The cardiod pattern offers the greatest rejection at 180 degrees off axis which is directly behind the microphone and creates virtually no off-axis coloration while providing the greatest possible rejection of unwanted audio.

Heil PR-30 Reviews
Radio World Review

What We Think
"Absolutely pound for pound, the best all-around dynamic mic for instruments I can think of. While there are microphones that may outperform it in specific instances, the Heil Sound PR-30 sounds better on more sources than any other dynamic mic that I have encountered. It's mid-range is full without succumbing to muddiness and the top and bottom are tight without exaggerating either. It's a microphone that knows how to flatter in a subtle way and it does so on guitar amplifiers by giving them a girth that the old standby just can't begin to approach. It's looks may be confusing as to how to use it at first; it is an end-address microphone - not side-address like it's quasi-large-diaphragm condenser-like profile suggests. But confusing looks aside (that it shares with it's sibling, the PR-40), this is a microphone worth having... and you'll likely have more than one or two when it's all said and done."
