Description
The Heil PR 30 steps away from decades-old dynamic mic design to deliver a wide, smooth frequency response reminiscent of a ribbon mic — but with the SPL handling to sit in front of a cranked guitar amp without flinching. Its large-diameter dynamic capsule brings out a rich upper midrange that has made it a go-to choice for guitar cabinets, while its natural voicing also serves vocal work equally well on stage or in the booth.
Drawing on Heil Sound’s long history in communications microphones since 1982, the PR 30 uses precise internal phasing to achieve a tight cardioid pattern with strong rear rejection, keeping off-axis noise and bleed out of the signal. That pattern control, paired with a neodymium-iron-boron magnet structure for extended dynamic range, gives engineers a mic that stays clean and focused even in dense mix environments.
A dual-mesh screen design combined with an internal breath blast filter lets performers work close to the capsule without piling up pops or harsh sibilance. The element itself floats in a Sorbothane shock mount, isolated from the steel body to cut down on handling noise and structure-borne vibration. An internal hum-bucking coil further shields the signal from nearby lighting rigs, monitors, and other noisy electrical sources.
- Large low-mass diaphragm for extended, ribbon-like frequency response
- Cardioid pickup pattern with excellent rear rejection
- Neodymium/iron/boron magnet for strong dynamic range
- Dual mesh screens plus internal breath blast filter
- Sorbothane shock-mounted element in a non-resonant steel body
- Internal hum-bucking coil for quiet operation near lighting and monitors
Suited for recording, live sound, and broadcast use alike, the PR 30 gives dynamic mic performance that competes directly with far pricier ribbon options.
