Heil Sound PR 35 Dynamic Handheld Microphone

Gearank Recommendation

The SR40V first appeared on our recommended list for Live Vocal Mics in March 2016 and it remained there through every new edition until August 2022 when it was out-ranked by the Neumann KMS 105.

Overview

In recent years, Heil Sound has gotten a resurgence in popularity. It is quickly becoming a household name in many underground rock and metal scenes all over the world.

The Heil Sound PR 35 is tweaked to have a natural sounding upper midrange with a smooth and even response across the spectrum.

The result is a microphone that captures vocals with great detail and easily augmented with further post-processing. It also sounds great on electric guitar amps and snares from my personal experience.
