The Heil PR-30 Dynamic Microphone represents completely new dynamic mic technology, and features a frequency response and articulation that makes it perfect for guitars and toms. This is also a great mic for broadcasters for all the same reasons.
The Heil PR 30 represents completely new dynamic microphone technology designed for a wide range of professional applications such as sophisticated recording, live sound, and commercial broadcast. Its smooth, wide frequency range sounds like a ribbon but can withstand large amounts of SPL. Outperforming the tired, 30 year old technology of the industry, the large diameter of the PR 30's dynamic element produces an outstanding upper mid range that makes the PR 30 the absolute best guitar microphone in the industry today, while still an excellent choice for reproducing the human voice.
Since 1982, Heil Sound has been the leading manufacturer of communications microphones and has a paramount understanding of phasing. When properly applied, this knowledge creates outstanding cardioid patterns with unbelievable rear rejection that removes unwanted sounds that try to enter from the off axis rear. The pattern control of the Heil PR 30 is outstanding. This exceptional performance is achieved by using the ideal combination of materials for the large low mass diaphragm and a special mixture of neodymium, iron, and boron that gives the PR 30 the strongest magnet structure available. These features allow the microphone to achieve magnificent dynamic range. A unique screen system using two different diameter mesh screens and an internal breath blast filter allow the user to talk closely to the microphone with little worry of pops or excessive sibilance. The large diameter dynamic element is mounted in a unique shock mount atop a non-resonant fixture, decoupling the element from the massive steel body. This body and the internal hum bucking coil removes any worry of using the PR 30 near monitor screens or noisy lighting fixtures and controls. The new technology of the Heil PR 30 has redefined the dynamic microphone with superior wide frequency response, the lowest presence of noise in the industry, flawless design, and elite quality expected by an innovator and leader in the field. Your ribbon microphones will now be jealous.

Best dynamic.
Apr 29th 2011Fantastic dynamic mic that sounds great on guitar amps. Far better than some of the other more obvious classic options. Check out the dynamic mic shootout the FEA did to get further proof, but this mic is really good.

Heil PR-30
Apr 11th 2011This is a great microphone when it comes to record guitar cabs. The top end is airy and soft. The mids are smooth and present, not annoying at all. Among a very tight and focused low end, this is also a can't go wrong mic for bass cab and kick drum recording. If you're looking for a killer mic for Guitar cabs, that's the one. A great alternative to many of the high praised and beloved ribbon mics.
