Description
Heil Sound built its reputation on communications microphones since 1982, and that decades-deep understanding of phasing shows up clearly in the PR 20. Rather than relying on outdated dynamic capsule designs that have gone largely unchanged for 30-plus years, Heil engineered a broader frequency response and higher SPL handling into a mic that adapts to live stages, broadcast booths, and recording sessions alike.
The cardioid pattern here isn’t an afterthought – it’s the product of Heil’s phasing know-how, resulting in tight off-axis rear rejection that keeps monitors, drums, and neighboring instruments out of your vocal channel. A large, low-mass diaphragm paired with a neodymium-iron-boron magnet structure – among the strongest available in a dynamic capsule – gives the PR 20 the sensitivity and output to capture nuance without sacrificing durability.
Where the PR 20 really shines is upper midrange articulation, which is why so many engineers reach for it as a lead vocal mic on loud stages. That same frequency response and dynamic range also make it a standout choice on snare drum, handling transient hits with clarity rather than mush. Housed in heavy steel construction, it’s assembled and tested in Illinois for long-term road and studio reliability.
