Description

The PR 20 UT is a no-frills version of Heil Sound’s acclaimed PR 20 — same capsule, same steel construction, same lab-tested specs, just without the fancy case and swappable grill colors. Bob Heil trimmed the extras, not the microphone, so studios, sound companies, and touring musicians who just need a reliable mic can get one at a friendlier price.

Inside the vinyl zipper bag you’ll find the mic itself with its stainless mesh grill, a foam windscreen, and a mic clip — everything required to get it on a stand and working. What you won’t find are the interchangeable gold/silver/black screens or the padded carrying case that ship with the standard PR 20. If you don’t need the bling, this is the smarter buy.

Performance-wise, nothing has been dialed back. The PR 20 UT handles sound pressure levels up to +140 dB SPL, making it comfortable in front of loud amps or aggressive vocalists, while offering -35 dB of rear rejection to keep unwanted stage bleed out of the signal. Its wide frequency range delivers clear midrange articulation that translates well on vocals and has made this capsule a favorite for snare drum miking too.
