Heil PR30 Microphone

Have you ever heard of the Heil PR30? Most podcasters and producers/editors have heard of the often-exalted Heil PR40, but have never heard of the PR30.

The PR30 has a bit hotter output than the PR40 so it will require a bit less preamp gain.

PR30 frequency range: 40 Hz to 18 kHz

PR40 frequency range: 28 Hz to 18 kHz

I haven’t tested them back to back so I can’t comment on any tone differences.

FYI, on an upcoming episode of my show I’ll be using the Heil PR30 so you can hear what it sounds like.

And BTW, I know that my previous guest Jonathan Messinger from The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian was using a PR30 as his main microphone. Not sure if he still is, though.
