Heil Sound PR-30
MSRP: $299 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone
Description
The Heil PR 30 is a large-diaphragm dynamic microphone featuring a smooth, wide frequency range that sounds like a ribbon but can withstand high SPL. The manufacturer markets it as “the absolute best guitar microphone in the industry.”
The Heil PR series of dynamic microphones incorporates new ideas for dynamic mic construction. Magnets are made of a unique combination of materials (neodymium, iron, and boron); diaphragms are exceptionally large. The design of these dynamic elements provides better rejection of off-axis sound and wider dynamic range.
The PR-30 has two screens of differing mesh diameters, in addition to an internal blast filter to reduce pops and sibilance in vocal applications. The 1.5'' element is shock-mounted in Sorbothane© to decouple the element from the microphone body. The steel body and internal humbucking coil reduce the risk of electronic interference.
Note that although the case looks like a side-address design, the moving coil points out the top of the microphone.
Heil microphones are made in the USA.
The Heil Sound PR-30 is also known as: PR30.
