Description

The PR 30 breaks from decades-old dynamic mic design by pairing a large-diameter, low-mass diaphragm with a neodymium-iron-boron magnet structure — one of the strongest magnet setups available in a dynamic capsule. The result is a wide, smooth frequency response that leans into ribbon-mic territory, minus the fragility. It’s built to take serious SPL without breaking a sweat, which is why it’s earned a reputation as a top pick for guitar cabinets, while still handling vocals with clarity and detail.

Heil Sound has spent decades refining phasing technology for communications mics, and that expertise carries directly into the PR 30’s cardioid pattern. Off-axis rejection is tight and consistent, so bleed from monitors, other instruments, or room noise stays out of the signal — useful whether you’re tracking in a treated room or working a stage with wedges nearby.

Construction details support real-world use: a dual-mesh screen system combined with an internal breath blast filter lets performers work close to the capsule without popping or harsh sibilance. The element itself sits in a Sorbothane shock mount on a non-resonant fixture, physically decoupled from the steel body, and an internal hum-bucking coil keeps the mic quiet even near lighting rigs or noisy stage gear.
