Had one for 15years. Struggled with it...sounded Ok with my Apollo, horrible with budget 2in/2outs (for my hearing !1) but recently paired the PR40 and PR30 with a Presonus Quantum HD2....and the magic is revealed. These mics deserve excellent preamps. That said, they also sound pretty good using the SoundProjects VTB-1. I can't imagine how good the sound with a premium preamp. The guy who introduced them to me was using an Avalon 737....yeah so, now I understand. excellent mics.

Now I want a mic and a cat.

The little clamps that come out for the xlr cable will not go back in properly. Can you upload a video on this. There isnt a single document or manual that even considers these parts.

Which shock mount fits the amateur radio ICM microphone? Thank you in advance! Manny / Essex County / UK 73 de 2E0HJN

I just got the heil pr37 along with the focusrite clarret + 4 pre. It is an awesome combination.

Just watched another video where you said that the further away you move the overheads the more you emphasize the cymbals. Here you're saying the opposite.

I love HEIL ❤👍💯

Hmmmm. This is confusing. Based on the sound I first thought this was actually a condenser that hadn't been EQ'd properly for the video. Very Sibilant, especially for a dynamic. I notice James Wedmore uses your mic sometimes. His voice has the same top end bump making all of his S cut through too loudly. Started searching to figure out why he was speaking in the front of what looked like a side address mic. I now know it's a dynamic mic in what looks like a side address condenser body. The voice over on this video has the same exact over exaggerated S that James' voice has on his podcasts. I'm confused why there is a such a robust shock mount for a dynamic. Unneeded unless there isn't any internal shock protection at the capsule, I'm genuinely trying to figure out where this mic sits in the industry and what "need" it was built to solve. Was it mostly for the visual alternative to what most dynamics look like?

Like to hear pr35 vs pr37

So happy to be apart of this!! ❤ Big ups to Heil Sound! Awesome products for the music industry!

👍Thanks Heil Mics Luv'm

Do you offer a wireless system or only the capsule??

Can it sing for me when my sinuses act up ?! :-)

Awesome demo

I spoke with him at the Dayton Hamvention. We did not talk ham radio. We talked music. You could tell he enjoyed it.

Where do u get one of those little pop filters in the States?

Great overview of mic and mic usage.

Do you know when the Heil PR 35 with the concealed roll off switch was released and is it near the bottom by the screw?

Great video. Glad I found this channel. Does it need a cloud lifter?

I can't find anything that explains what the switch thingy at the bottom of the arm does... (looks like maybe it's for routing a permanent cable but then why does it move and latch into 2 different positions?)

Dr. Bob Heil, you will be missed. RIP.

OMG, I learned so much!!

RIP Bob.......

Fantastic!

Thanks for this great video to help me better understand microphone elements.

This mic needs a retro tabletop stand very badly.

I’ve had the Heil HDK-8 Drum Microphone Kit for a few years now and I think they are the secret weapon. Great drum mics! They are really easy to mix as they are “tuned” for making drums sound great. No one can believe I’m using dynamic mics as overheads. I’ve used them on different players and kits and they have never disappointed. I haven’t once thought I needed anything else, or another brand/kind of mic to get a truly great drum sound. Congrats on a winning compilation!! More people should discover these “secret” weapons!

5:30 Just put one in their hands and watch what happens.... I work in a Club in NW Iowa and use PR35's for Everyone with the Similar results...."whoa, what is *this*..!?!?! is something I hear often...

I just purchased 3 More 35's for my club. I already have 2-35's and a pair of PR-22's and they see Alot of use...with the general consensus being..'WOW, what is That!?'...

Thanks Michelle (& Ash & Derek), loved how informative that was! Would be great to see how to mic a drum set using Heil mics.

bullshit.

Difference between Heil Sound PR 35 and PR 37?

No matter how much I think I know I always love learning more here.

Keren... 👍👍👍👍💯 fantastic

Great introduction to Heil Sound for those who are new.

Love it brother!

❤❤❤

Great mic

The announcer's vocals have a huge amount of plosives. It's sort of funny, really. :)

I Have Everything In The Video ( PR-40 + Shock Mount), The Arm Will NOT Hold The Mic In Position, If I Touch It, It Falls Right On My Desk. No Way To Adjust The Springs. Poor Quality

Ella's a rock star lol. That mic sounded really good, I won't lie.

do NOT waste money on this mic arm - it's utter crap. They don't show it in the video but the arm does NOT hold its position at all. You can ONLY use heavy mics. If you put a mic on here that's not too heavy, you'll watch it launch! It's not worth the money and there are far better arms than this garbage

I'd like to try one for when I'm talking and what I'm singing just to see how it sounds

very nice presentation and poise on. thanks KC2-AGT

Can’t wait to try one! 😎🎶❤

I cant tell what mic he's using on overheads. The PR31BW is Heil's flagship overhead, but those are clearly handhelds on stage. Perhaps a 22UT or 20UT?

Heil Mics have never disappointed me. They sound great, and I like to be a little different.

I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!....But one part of this video is very confusing. You showed the pr40 inside the kick. Then you showed the pr48 just inside the hole of the head. Then you said never to place the mic inside the hole. Please clarify what you meant. I have learned so much from your channel. I respect your knowledge, and do my best to emulate your methods. It has really helped my recordings.

8:20. Funniest thing I've ever seen 🤣!

Great to hear a female voice. What about the shock mount. I don't want one. Too much on camera and I don't bang the desk. Thoughts?
