The Heil Sound PR 40 is a legendary, wide-frequency-response dynamic end-fire microphone celebrated across professional broadcasting, podcasting, commercial recording, and high-fidelity amateur radio. Featuring a massive 1-1/8" low-mass dynamic diaphragm suspended in an internal Sorbothane shock mount, it delivers the wide, articulate frequency response typically associated with high-end condenser microphones while retaining the rugged durability and high SPL handling of a dynamic element.

Engineered with custom dual-mesh screens containing different pore dimensions alongside internal acoustic filtering, the PR 40 effectively attenuates breath blasts and plosives without coloring off-axis sound. With exceptional rear rejection (over 30 dB of rear-axis attenuation) and a specialized humbucking voice coil, it eliminates electromagnetic hum and ambient shack/studio noise, making it an elite voice transducer for HF transceivers (Kenwood, Icom, Yaesu, FlexRadio) and broadcast audio setups alike.
