HEIL PR 40B Microphone: Briefly, I became aware of “HEIL” a few years ago having bought two Heil’s Air Transformer studio quality loudspeakers, whose sound was/is unparalleled. Therefor, as HEIL has been producing legendary loud speakers, let see if HEIL could also develop the opposite end of the audio channel, the Microphone. As a Faculty member of a 30,000+ student, State of Florida University, FAU, I rarely have time to write product reviews. My exception is for true Excellence, the valedictorian of products. Today, I produce daily, morning HDTV 90+ minute pod-casts on a variety of technology topics, occasionally drifting to “Current Events.”
In sum, the HEIL PR-40B Microphone is truly one of the best Cardioid Microphones available for 5-times the unit cost of $350. Frequency response is pure and clean, particularly at the low-end of the audio spectrum. If you are looking for truly Deep, Clear Voiced Podcasting, with superior rejection of side & rear distractions, this is a choice to consider. I have tested and own the best from EV, SHURE to SENNHEISER, where would you believe, HEIL clearly out-performs them all.
If you deserve the Heil-PR40B (XLR fitted) microphone, you may likely be attaching it to a RODE Podcaster Pro-II or RODE’s new Podcaster-DUO, a mobile audio production sound-board, both offering phantom 48v power. Accordingly, SE-Electronics delivers (not included with the Heil purchase) their “in-line” $99 DYNAMITE DM1 Class-A amplifier, for Dynamic Microphone in-line pre-amplification; it delivers near “Lossless, Flat” preamplification of the 10-100,000 Hz audio spectrum, virtually eliminating line losses. Quality Dynamic microphones generally need an in-line 28db boost in signal amplitude, utilizing true Class-A amplifier technologies; this in line signal boost, avoids over-pushing the RODE sound-board, keeping its attenuation mid-range of its capability, with long or short cable runs. 2/22/25 JimW.
