The Heil PR 20 represents completely new dynamic microphone technology
designed for a wide range of professional applications such as live
sound, commercial broadcast, and sophisticated recording. Its wide
frequency range outperforms the tired, 30+ year old industry
technology and can withstand huge amounts of SPL. The end result is
a microphone that can answer the call to any application. For
example, the gorgeous upper mid range makes the PR 20 the absolute
best live vocal microphone, while its outstanding frequency response
and superb dynamic range suit it perfectly for use with a snare
drum.
Since 1982, Heil Sound has been the leading manufacturer of
communications microphones and has a paramount understanding of
phasing. When properly applied, this knowledge creates outstanding
cardioid patterns with unbelievable rear rejection that removes
unwanted sounds that try to enter from the off axis rear. The
pattern control of the Heil PR 20 is outstanding. This exceptional
performance is achieved by using the ideal combination of materials
for the large low mass diaphragm and a special mixture of neodymium,
iron, and boron that gives the PR 20 the strongest magnet structure
available.
