The ads seem to be touting the mics for broadcast voice. Have you tried
them on vocals?

Steve,

I haven't seen the ad, but the Heil mic I have is better for guitar cabs
than it is for vocals.

Steve,

I have the Heil PR20, which kicks butt for guitar cabinets.

Hello all...

You may want to visit http://www.k4qky.com/hamradio/pr30.htm for a review of
the Heil PR-30 and http://www.k4qky.com/hamradio/pr40.htm for the Heil
PR-40.

Bear in mind that both reviews are written from the perspective of an
amateur radio operator since Heil has, up until now, been marketing mics
primarily for that audience. However, it is my understanding that the PR40
works especially well on vocals as well as drums.

Don

Nice guy. I reviewed several of his mics a year or so ago. I think at least
one review is up in my archives.

I had a sample of the first model. It was *extremely* sensitive to p-pops,
also handling noise. And it had a classic boom-and-tizz frequency response,
with poorer articulation (on a dance caller) than an old EV 660. We sent it
back. Possibly the newer ones are improved.

Peace,
Paul

Yup, Bob Heil of Heil Music, back in Marissa, Illinois. Same guy.

Given his Joe Walsh connection, I think so

I remember a book he wrote about sound reinforcement. I have it somewhere.
