💬 Product Description

The Heil PR 40 Dynamic Broadcast Microphone is a professional large-diaphragm microphone designed to deliver exceptional audio clarity and presence for broadcast, podcasting, and voiceover applications. Renowned across the radio and recording industry, the PR 40 sets a benchmark for sound quality and rugged reliability.

Engineered by Heil Sound, the PR 40 utilizes a unique low-mass diaphragm and large rear acoustic chamber that together produce an extended frequency response from 28 Hz to 18 kHz. This design provides full, natural low-end reproduction and smooth, articulate highs — making it ideal for both vocal and instrument recording.

The microphone’s internal humbucking coil and exceptional shielding provide superior noise rejection, making it perfect for use near computer screens, consoles, or other electronic equipment common in modern studios. With a cardioid pickup pattern, the PR 40 offers excellent off-axis rejection, ensuring clean, isolated sound even in untreated rooms.

Built from precision-machined steel and finished in a durable powder coat, the Heil PR 40 combines reliability, style, and broadcast-grade performance in a single microphone.
