Heil Sound PR 31 BW Short Barrel Large-Diaphragm Dynamic Microphone

Weat Heil Sound continue to listen to the Artists and engineers that useour microphone products. We listen about how well they work but alsolike to know of any improvements or product ideas Artists and Engineersmay have as they travel the globe.

ThePR 31 BW was a suggestion of Bob Workman FOH Engineer for CharlieDaniels who uses Heil microphones exclusively. Bob uses the Heil PR 30for just about every application but it was too large physically to fitin and around the drum kit so Bob suggested we 'cut it in half'. Thatis exactly what we did and the PR 31 BW was born - a 4" PR 30 thatexhibits all specs of the PR 30. Same great frequency response, samewonderful front pattern and the incredible -40 dB of rear and siderejection which is perfect for using the PR 31BW as an UNDERHEADmicrophone for cymbals.

Placinga microphone under the cymbal has never been successful because themicrophone hears everything around it. With the -40 dB of rear and siderejection of the PR 31 BW, the microphone does not hear anything butwhat it is pointed towards - in this case, the cymbal and nothing fromthe toms or other sounds close by.

Usinga right angle connector and our HH-1 rim mount, the PR 31BW is theperfect low profile answer for toms. The PR 31BW also works great infront of a guitar cabinet, the best brass horn and saxophone mic,inside a Leslie speaker and is perfect for acoustic pianos. It is yourbest 'go-to' microphone for just about everything, including vocals.

Thisincredible little bombshell is rightfully named, the HEIL PR 31 BW inhonor and thanks to Bob Workman
