Heil PR20/PR40 microphone package

The Heil PR 40 microphone boasts the widest frequency range of any dynamic mic in the Heil PR series. The PR 40 incorporates Heil’s sage-like understanding of phasing plug placement, along with the use of a very large (1″), low mass diaphragm, and custom magnet metals housed in a specially designed microphone body.

The PR 40 diaphragm is shock mounted such that it is completely de-coupled from the anodized Champagne matte-finished steel body. In addition to dual mesh screens, each made with different diameter screen apertures, there is an internal breath blast filter on the diaphragm element itself, providing superb response for the human voice across the entire vocal range, without “popping” noises. In fact, the PR 40 will provide a flawless, smooth, flat response from 28 Hz all the way up to the 18k Hz, making this a great microphone for everything from vocals, to bass drums and tom drums, to guitar and bass cabinet mic’ing and more.

In short, the PR 40 is known by professionals as the “thoroughbred work-horse” of professional sound recording and reinforcement.

The Heil 31 BW microphone is the answer to those who use the PR 30 for cymbals & toms, but need it to fit in tight spots. Through a collaboration with FOH engineer for the Charlie Daniels Band, Bob Workman (hence the “BW” designation), the 4-inch tall PR 31 BW was developed.

The PR 31 BW realizes all the benefits of the PR 30 in a smaller footprint suitable for mounting to toms and for capturing cymbals from underneath, as well as from overhead. As with the PR 30, there’s no worrying about picking up nearby sounds from other drums, or other sources. And also like the PR 30, there’s no worrying about overload.

The PR 31 BW is great for vocals, guitar cabinets, brass horns, saxophone, and piano and it will even fit inside Leslie speaker cabinets, and more. There are a variety of mounting options from Heil for drums, guitar and vocals/broadcasting.

The HEIL PR 20 microphone is a new breed of dynamic microphone with many benefits over other microphones in its price range. The PR 20 will do a superior job at exactly capturing the sound from vocals, guitar, snare drums, cymbals, piano and more. Sound professionals, broadcasters, and musicians of all genres rely on the PR 20 microphone because it faithfully upholds the sound it takes in and is built to last.

The PR 20 has a large diaphragm providing a wide frequency range, with excellent upper mids. The PR 20 does a great job of rejecting side & rear noise (minimizing feedback), and it is tough enough to withstand real-world usage. These attributes make the entire PR & RC series not only great rock music microphones, but they are also great for country, metal, jazz, funk, blues, rap, and opera, for that matter. All Heil microphones are hand assembled and quality tested in the USA at Heil’s headquarters in Fairview Heights, IL.
