The Heil PR 40 is the quintessential dynamic microphone for podcast, broadcast, home and studio recording, and live sound applications. The PR 40 is the chosen microphone of podcasters, satellite radio stations, artists, and engineers for its studio-quality sound and ease of use across a wide range of voices, instruments, and styles. The wide frequency response of the PR 40 reliably and effortlessly delivers warm, articulate sound in any situation.
The PR 40 is an end-fire, full-range microphone ideally suited for broadcast, podcast, voice over, live sound, and studio applications. This microphone has been designed to have a warm and natural sound.
The PR 40 features a 1” dynamic element with the low end of the frequency response down at 28 Hz, a mid-range rise that stays flat up through 18 kHz. This taylored response gives the PR 40 great articulation.
The PR 40 features a double layered internal pop filtering system to help reduce breath blasts. This breaks up the breath blasts and diverts them from hitting the microphone diaphragm directly. A very course acoustically transparent foam is also mounted on top of the element to further reduce breath blasts. An external windscreen is also available (sold seperately).
The PR 40 was designed for close range uses. We recommend having audio sources approximately 2 inches from the end grill for best results.
It features -40 dB of rear rejection, which blocks unwanted audio from entering the sides and rear of the microphone. This can prevent bleed when used on a live sound stage or in a recording studio. It can also block secondary audio from guests in a broadcast or podcast studio.
The Heil PR 40 is supplied with a microphone holder (SM-3) that mounts onto any 5/8”- 27 mic thread.
