Description

The HEIL PR 22 microphone is a revolutionary dynamic cardioid microphone incorporating a large (1.125”) diaphragm, patent-pending ISO BAND™ isolation mounting that offers greater articulation throughout its entire wide, flat, frequency range with very low handling noise. Additionally, noise directed at the rear of the mic is virtually eliminated through a combination of special porting & phasing plug design. This is a sound professional’s dream, come true.

Best-in-class rear noise rejection means you’ll get more sound out of the PR 22 before feedback occurs. The PR 22 microphone has exceptional mids and highs, but not at the expense of sacrificing any of its frequency range. The PR 22 is an extraordinarily “stage-friendly” mic that can take a full-on snare hit & deliver the richest sounding snare with no overload, and no compromise. When using a pair of PR 22’s on a snare (one top-mount & one below), they produce what some say is the best snare sound available at any cost, with little or no EQ.

The PR 22 is able to deliver rich vocals, warm & accurate guitar, crisp snare drums with depth, stellar piano, shimmering cymbals, and more, to the board like never before. Whether you’re recording with the PR 22 in the studio or using it for live application, your ears will tell you it is a cut above all the “legacy microphones”.

With the PR 22 you get a leatherette carrying bag, a mic clip and three acoustically identical metal screens (Black, Silver, and Gold). Note – the Gold PR 22 only comes with the matching gold grill.

Best sounding/most versatile live vocal mic under £100?

I often do live sound for local bands. I always bring my e845, Heil PR20 and PR22 - just incase of the mics on the venue are bad or not 'suitable' for the baNd's singer. e845 has the lowest gain, brighter than SM58 and susceptible to 'ess'. PR20 and PR22 offers good gain & less handling...

...on male Vox, Neumann U77 on upright bass, Flea 47 on nylon string guitar, drums were Heil PR40 on kick, Heil PR22 on snare, Heil PR31BW's on toms and a pair of Oktava MK-012's on overheads, and an Oktava MK-012 on shaker. I felt the mix was pretty good overall in terms of balance. We listened...
