Heil Sound

Description

The Heil Sound PR 35 is an incredibly versatile vocal mic. It has an amazing amount of rear rejection but exhibits no off-axis coloration, so it is like having a supercardioid and omni mic in one! It works well for commercial broadcast, recording, and live sound reinforcement applications. When you need a smooth, flat response over a wide frequency range the Heil PR 35 is your mic. The PR 35 was designed around the acclaimed PR 30 element and incorporates a sorbothane shock mount to give you the best possible results.

The PR 35 mic achieves its exceptional performance by using a special magnet structure and a large aluminum 1-1/2" low-mass voice coil assembly. A carefully wound and placed hum bucking coil allows the Heil PR 35 to be placed near video monitors without unwanted hum or buzz. Special attention has been paid to the phasing plug assembly with equally placed ports that sense audio from behind the source. It then enters them out of phase, thus producing a very linear cardioid pattern. This reduces the proximity effect while achieving the extreme articulation across its smooth 40 Hz - 18 kHz frequency response. The Heil element can be used in extreme high sound pressure levels and is immune to overload conditions. It produces a beautifully smooth audio response without the inconvenience of phantom or outside DC powering.

The PR 35 microphone is equipped with a low-cut roll-off switch to prevent low-end feedback loops from ever getting started.

The Heil PR 35 mic's cardioid pattern offers the greatest rejection of unwanted audio at 180 off axis, which is directly behind the microphone; there is virtually no off-axis coloration.

Supplied with a microphone clip that mounts to any 5/8" 27-thread mic stand. It also comes with a leatherette carrying case and wind screen.

For amateur radio, a CC-1 XLR cable is required to interface with a transceiver.

EXCELLENT! BUY IT!

I purchased this microphone and liked it so much. A week later I purchased the PR35 wireless head to replaced my Shure 87A head on my wireless. I sold my Neumann KMS 105; which is a very good high qualify condenser microphone. This is what I now sing with. I'm a high tenor, I sing 3 full octaves. The PR 35 is the first microphone that allows me to clearly hear by whole voice when singing. Whether you're a singer or a screamer, if you enjoy singing this is the mic for you. I had a couple of questions, so I emailed Bob Heil at Heil Sound and he answered my questions personally. See if you can do that with the other Microphone manufacturers. BUY IT! The product and the company are first class you'll be glad you did.

Sound superior to most competitors. However, disappointed with high handling noise. For the price, this should not be a factor. Also advertised as three rolloff settings when in fact there are only two

    Sounds FANTASTIC. Needs phantom power. Have been looking for mic for stage use. This is good enough to do both stage and studio. I own and did a sound shootout for stage use with Neumann KLM 105, Shure SM58, SM58 Beta, SM57, SM7B (not handheld), Alto DVM5, Sennheiser, and a host of others of all price ranges. I LOVE how the Heil sounds far and away. It needs a windscreen (thankfully included in the packaging) to prevent popping p's and has fairly high handling noise compared to the tried and true SM57. Definitely needs a pop scene in studio and sounds surprisingly clear, sensitive and powerful in studio compared to mics that cost five times as much. The Neumann KLM 105 has almost ZERO handling noise when moving around on stage or taking in and out of mic stand. Handling noise is the only flaw in this mic, otherwise it beats the sound quality of the Neumann exponentially. When coupled with a cloudlifter this thing is untouchable as to the sound quality of anything else I've heard. I play in a loud 5 piece band with two guitars, bass, drums, keyboards and my mid-range voice can get buried - even when I am doing solo stuff with just my acoustic guitar. Noticed the difference with this instantly. Hopefully the new version that is coming out this summer will be better insulated and reduce the handling noise, but that flaw is well worth the sound quality. Definitely recommend if you find yourself competing with mid-range muddiness.
