The PR 40 from Heil Sound is a high-performance dynamic microphone ideal for use as a vocal mic for talk show hosts and other voice over applications. The large dynamic element produces a smooth response with an articulate and natural midrange. The size of the diaphragm, combined with a low mass and an efficient NdFeB magnet structure, allow the microphone to achieve a wide dynamic range and capture high SPLs, making it a great kick drum mic as well.
The mic has 4 rear ports to reject off-axis noise, resulting in a smooth, tight super cardioid pickup pattern with reduced proximity effect. The steel body and internal hum bucking coil shield the mic, making it safe for use near video monitors and noisy lighting fixtures. An internal Sorbothane shock mount decouples the mic's dynamic element from the body to reduce the effects of handling noise.

Comments about Heil Sound PR 40 Dynamic Super Cardioid Studio Microphone (Champagne):
To say I'm impressed with the dynamic qualities of this microphone is an understatement.
I'm mainly using it for voiceover and announcing production, and while everyone's voice is different - and the quality of your vocal recordings may vary - this is the best microphone I've ever used, hands down.
For a dynamic microphone, it's sensitivity is unparalleled. At times, you'll think it's a condenser.
In short, I suggest you at least give it a shot. Plug it in, and speak. Prepare to be impressed.

Comments about Heil Sound PR 40 Dynamic Super Cardioid Studio Microphone (Champagne):
I am using this microphone with my Ham Radio transceiver. the great thing is that very low freq. response is just perfect , as high frequency and dynamic range is extremal!
Best condenser only microphones can compete with
this unit ,which doesn't require DC bias , like condensers.Applied with EQPlus equalizer - gives perfect results!!!

Comments about Heil Sound PR 40 Dynamic Super Cardioid Studio Microphone (Champagne):
Good mic, just not exactly what I was looking for. It sounds good on several sources but for Voice Over I found that I really liked the sound of most condensor mics better. Placement was a little tricky with my sE Electronics Reflexion filter because it is an end address mic. Quality of mic is very good.
