Embrace the clarity and ruggedness of the Heil PR 22, a dynamic microphone that stands as a testament to uncompromised quality in the realm of studio and live sound reinforcement. Stripped down to its essence without skimping on performance, the PR 22 maintains the high standards set by its predecessor, the PR 20, offering a wide frequency range and the ability to handle over +140dB SPL. Its -35dB rear rejection capability ensures that your recordings are insulated from unwanted background noise, making it a versatile tool for a myriad of professional applications.

What sets the PR 22 apart is its unique internal sorbothane suspension system, designed meticulously to minimize handling noise, a common grievance among professionals. Coupled with a special magnet structure and a large aluminum 1-1/8" low-mass voice coil assembly, it promises an articulate sound across a smooth 50Hz-18kHz frequency response. The precision-engineered phasing plug assembly, with its strategically placed ports, further refines its performance, offering a linear cardioid pattern that mitigates the proximity effect. This microphone not only captures the essence of your sound but does so with the reliability and durability that Heil Sound microphones are known for.

The PR 22 doesn’t just excel in performance; it is also a symbol of practicality. Delivered in a leatherette carrying bag with essential accessories, it eschews the non-essential for a focused, quality-centric experience.
