PRO SET 3

PR 40
The PR 40 is an end-fire, full-range microphone ideally suited for
broadcast, podcast, voice over, live sound, and studio applications. This
microphone has been designed to have a warm and natural sound.
The PR 40 features a 1” dynamic element with the low end of the
frequency response down at 28 Hz, a mid-range rise that stays flat up
through 18 kHz. This taylored response gives the PR 40 great articulation.
The PR 40 features a double layered internal pop filtering system to
help reduce breath blasts. This breaks up the breath blasts and diverts
them from hitting the microphone diaphragm directly. A very course
acoustically transparent foam is also mounted on top of the element to
further reduce breath blasts.
An external windscreen is also available (sold seperately).
The PR 40 was designed for close range uses. We recommend having
audio sources approximately 2 inches from the end grill for best results.
It features -40 dB of rear rejection, which blocks unwanted audio from
entering the sides and rear of the microphone. This can prevent bleed
when used on a live sound stage or in a recording studio. It can also
block secondary audio from guests in a broadcast or podcast studio.
The Heil PR 40 is supplied with a microphone holder (SM-3) that mounts
onto any 5/8”- 27 mic thread.
