Description
The Heil PR 22 was engineered to move dynamic microphone design past decades-old industry standards, giving front-of-house engineers and touring vocalists a mic that holds up under real stage pressure. It’s equally at home on a lead vocal, a snare, or a guitar cab, thanks to a wide frequency response and dynamic range that stays clean well beyond +140dB SPL.
What sets the PR 22 apart on a busy stage is its ISO BAND suspension, a Sorbothane rubber isolation system Heil developed specifically to tame handling noise in the 50-100Hz range without sacrificing low-end response the way traditional “ball” mics do by band-stopping below 125Hz. You keep the full body of the voice instead of trading it away for quiet handling.
Heil’s decades of experience building communications microphones show up in the PR 22’s phase-coherent, linear cardioid pattern, which delivers up to 40dB of rear rejection. That means fewer surprises from monitor bleed or off-axis stage noise, no proximity-effect hot spots, and a consistent tonal picture whether you’re mixing FOH or tracking in the studio. The large 1-1/8″ low-mass diaphragm pairs with a neodymium-iron-boron magnet structure for output and clarity that punch through a dense mix.
Built for riders that demand reliability, the PR 22 ships ready to work:
- Leatherette carrying bag
- Mic clip
- Three metal wind screens (black, silver, gold) for quick tonal or aesthetic changes on stage
Whether you’re scaling a house rig for a headline vocal or filling out a drum mic locker, the PR 22 gives you studio-grade articulation with the SPL headroom live sound demands.
