The Heil Heritage Microphone. …sounds as good as it looks.

In the spirit of the Holidays, we look at a microphone that brings to mind the past, with technology from the future. …or at least present

Bob Heil demands great sound from his microphones, but he also likes them to be eye catching. I caught a glimpse of the Heritage microphone and had to try it out.

If you have tried a Heil PR (professional) series PR-20, you’ll have a good idea of the Heritage sound. That’s because Bob didn’t settle for a cheap element in a beautiful enclosure. The Heritage is an excellent microphone to show off on video, due to its brightly polished chrome housing that shines like the bumper of a ’57 Chevy.

I could type more and tell you about its nice cardioid pattern, solid mount, integrated blast filter and shock mount – not to mention the humbucking coil for RF rejection, but let’s have a look and listen in!
