 Smooth Clean AudioJul 16, 2006
By SevereWX
The Heil PR-20 is an excellent mic. It produces very smooth natural sounding audio. I've been using this mic for over a year and a half and always get compliments on how great it sounds. It's got great a frequency response that's perfectly tailored for the human voice. It never sounds harsh or compressed, and the mic is very low noise. The built in pop filter works quite well, but an external foam pop filter is still recommended to keep the mic clean and dry. The mic itself is solidly built with quality components right here in the USA, and if there are any questions or problems with the mic, Bob Heil is a man who stands behind his products 100% and is always more than willing to be of assistance.

- Sound quality: I like this mic. It sounds darker than the Recording Hack's graph would suggest. Compared to a LDC, you'll get less fidelity in general. It has too much handling noise for jostling around in general, but shock mounted on a stand is where this mic shines. The proximity effect seems less pronounced compared to the SM57. It allows you to get up close and personal while singing and a tight pattern compared to my LDCs seems to remove the room from the recording at a distance. However, the lowish sensitivity make recording quiet instruments from a distance difficult b/c of the generated noise of the mic and cranked preamp. This is not your HiFi recording vocal mic.
- Reliability / Durability: Built like a vault! Dropped several times, thrown in the back of a truck for months and drove off road while in its case... never a problem. It feels heavy and solid and been around for years.
- Would you buy this again if it were stolen?: Yep.
- Features that stand out: Build quality and less pronounced proximity effect than expected. Also a generally great bass response even from a distance. The case is nice and has several replacement grills with a well fitted clip.
- What I don't Like: Handling noise--for its intended use, that's its only downside as far as I can tell. It would be great if they'd fix that.
- Similar products used: Shure SM57.
Just a workhorse to keep around.
