 was doing some research and I came across this cool looking Heil mic. I am a big fan of heil mics. I have PR30's and PR20's and 22's. I wonder what these sound like and if anyone out there has used them. It seems like they are dynamics. I am curious. |

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that mic. My experience with Heil mics have been fantastic but that's why I wanted to enquire if anything fishy was going on here. |

From what I have seen of Heil and especially the live mics I wouldn't be suprised if he uses a OEM for the bodies, but who cares? The elements sound good !

Probably not the case here, but didn't Heil get busted a while back for rebadging a cheap Chinese mic? I remember a GS thread...

I dunno. The whole idea of doing a dynamic mic tarted up to look like a vintage RCA ribbon seems pretty cheesy to me... And calling at a "77" - who is he trying to kid?

Well, I'd certainly like to hear it.

Well, I'd certainly like to hear it. Sure, why not? But it would really have to be something to overcome my antipathy to gratuitous hype. |

I kinda like the look. It doesn't bother me.
