The HDK-7 from Heil Sound is a dynamic microphone kit ideal for use with a drum set. The kit includes a single PR 48 dynamic kick drum microphone, 2 PR 28 tom mics, a pair of PR 22 dynamic mics, a pair of PR 30B dynamic mics, and 2 HH-1 tom drum mounts. A handy black carrying case is included for carrying all of the equipment.
The PR 48 from Heil Sound is a professional-quality dynamic kick drum microphone that provides highly accurate sound reproduction. Designed for a life of professional use, the mic has a large 1.5" dynamic diaphragm sealed in a vulcanized shockmount to minimize handling noise. The capsule has a cardioid pickup pattern to reject off-axis noise. A specially designed low-pass filter provides a 10 dB boost in the 60 to 100 Hz range, which is where the kick drum has the most resonance. The mic has a metal housing with a slanted XLR entrance for easy cable connection.
The PR 28 from Heil Sound is a professional-quality dynamic microphone ideal for use with drums. The mic has a large dynamic element with a cardioid pickup pattern to reject off-axis noise. A shockmount inside the mic's die-cast alloy body provides excellent isolation for the mic element. The mic offers a wide frequency response, with a +4dB rise around 4kHz to improve the presence of tom drums without needing outboard EQ.
The PR 28 is compatible with the patent-pending HH-1 tom drum mounting system (sold separately), which mounts right onto the rim of a tom or snare.
The black PR 22 Dynamic Cardioid Handheld Microphone from Heil Sound can be used to mic anything from vocals to snare drums. Heil has developed the patent-pending IsoBand technology, which uses a Sorbothane rubber suspension system in order to eliminate low frequency handling noise. The mic uses a special low-mass NdFeB diaphragm and a large voice coil assembly to provide exceptional performance, including a cardioid pickup pattern with excellent off-axis rejection.
The microphone produces a very linear pattern and reduces proximity effect. It can also be used in extremely high sound pressure applications, and is virtually immune to overload conditions. A leatherette carrying bag, microphone clip, and 3 metal windscreens (black, silver, and gold) are included.
