The Heil PR-35 Handheld Dynamic Microphone is an incredibly versatile vocal microphone. It has an amazing amount of rear rejection but exhibits no off-axis coloration, so it is like having a supercardioid and omni mic in one!

It works well for commercial broadcast, recording, and live sound reinforcement applications. When you need a smooth, flat response over a wide frequency range the Heil PR-35S is your mic. The Heil PR-35 was designed around the acclaimed Heil PR-30 element and incorporates a sorbothane shock mount to give you the best possible results.

The Heil PR-35 achieves its exceptional performance by using a special magnet structure and a large aluminum 1-1/2" low-mass voice coil assembly. A carefully wound and placed hum bucking coil allows the Heil PR 35 to be placed near video monitors without unwanted hum or buzz. Special attention has been paid to the phasing plug assembly with equally placed ports that sense audio from behind the source. It then enters them out of phase, thus producing a very linear cardioid pattern. This reduces the proximity effect while achieving the extreme articulation across its smooth 40 Hz - 18 kHz frequency response. The Heil element can be used in extreme high sound pressure levels and is immune to overload conditions. It produces a beautifully smooth audio response without the inconvenience of phantom or outside DC powering.

The Heil PR-35 microphone is equipped with a 3-position roll-off switch. The first position is flat, the second position rolls off at approximately -3 dB and the last position rolls off at approximately -6 dB.

    Happy with mic
    Kirk Jubeck

    Upgraded our lead singer from Shure SM58 to this PR-35. We are very happy with this upgrade. Two main things we noticed were the vocal were more "crisp" and lack off-axis coloration was noticeable (a good thing). With the SM58, you needed to stay directly in front of the mic for a consistent tone. With the PR35, the singer has more freedom to move around a bit without affect the tone. This is important for us because the singer also plays harp with a holder hanging over his neck. Therefore, he needs to move around a bit. We've tried the mic with recording also. We are aiming for live quality recording vs. studio quality recording. The vocals on our recordings were much crisper/clear, particularly on the upper frequencies. This mic is no condenser mic so don't expect that reproduction quality. This mic is great for live and live quality recording for vocals. I would recommend this mic to a friend (in fact I already did so).

    Heil PR-35
    William McBlain

    Very good Mic with low handling noise, but not as low as many others yet low enough for me. Really low distortion.

    I think...that.
    Anonymous

    Not much to say. I'm not shooting to be really specific in this review, because I just want to share a quick anecdote. When I got this microphone, I had my Beta 57a plugged in just so that I could compare. Let's just say that I sort of fell a bit out of my seat when I played back the level-matched recordings, because the PR-35 is magical. I can see how it might not work on some people's voices, but the sound on me was fantastic. Playing around with the rejection was just mind-boggling as well.

    New favorite for live vocals!
    Anthony Davis

    I was blown away by how full-range and articulate this mic is! It's not the ONLY vocal mic I use, but it's definitely where I turn first now. It's a REALLY hot mic too, very little gain needed compared to other dynamic vocal mics out there, and great for softer voices. The supplied clip is pretty lack-luster, though. The mic can slip out if one isn't careful, and the PR35 is too big for a "standard" vocal mic clip (I've heard this from other PR35 users too). The PR35 has replaced vocal condensers 90% of the time for me. Occasionally, I still turn to condensers when a rider/endorsement requires it, but otherwise this gives me everything I like about condensers (articulation, open top-end), with none/far less of what I don't like (bleed/stage wash, feedback, etc).

    One of the best dynamic's ever!
    Dan Slavin

    This microphone from Heil is just awesome,it's the best dynamic I own and have ever used,I use it for recording mainly,and it sounds great on guitar cabs,snare drum,vocals,everything! I havn't been able to use it live yet,but everyone is raving about this mic,calling it the best live vocal mic they've used,I can't wait to try it myself! Heil is really making some great sounding stuff,and they're becoming my favorite company fast!I'm getting away from condenser's and a lot of Heil's mic's have a condenser-like sound,without some of the issues that come with them.This is a great performer on everything you can throw at it,I'll be getting a few more soon,along with some other Heil mic's!!!

    Great microphone
    Gary

    Works well in the field, litte equalization needed, and the sound is much clearer than a Shure 58.

    Highly recommended
    Brandt Fincher

    I originally bought one of these as a back up to the KM105s. There are times that this mic is the better choice. It is very well worth the price of admission and much better than many that cost more.

What We Think

avatar

The Heil PR-35 is a veritable 'Howitzer' of vocal microphones. We were initially attracted to it by the fact that it is a re-purposed PR-30 which we feel is one of the best sounding all around dynamic microphones available to our ears. The other vocals onstage were handled by the "industry standard" and when we did our sound-check, it was like comparing toddler-tricylcles with a Harley Davidson Fat Boy. The PR-35 exhibited a flattering clarity, body, and presence that was larger than life - and it has a TON of output. The said performer immediately said, 'This is the best my voice has ever sounded on-stage.' Mixing the show suddenly became an easier task since the lead vocals sat in the mix very well. The mic does tend to have a ton of low end. However, you can shape the lows with the 3-position roll off (flat, -3dB, and -6dB). However, if you are using a digital console, you'll benefit from your built-in continuously-variable high-pass filter over the PR35's 3-position switch, as the lows tend to take a quick dive But the interesting thing to note is that even with the mic set to flat and in use on a stage that is prone to letting the low-end run away in feedback, the PR-35 resisted ever catching a low-frequency feedback loop. This is a testament to the background rejection of this mic. We are often concerned with what an open-mic is doing to the mix when nobody is singing. So, we would solo up the mic via the PFL during instrumental passages and it was apparent that ambient soures are more focused and much less "warbly" than what I'm used to encountering. In fact, what spill came into the mic was something that was very musical and complimentary to the drier elements. Our only complaint regarding the overall package of the PR35 is how the supplied mic-clip interacts with the rubberized coating. The coating feels really good when using the mic as a hand-held. However, the rubber is not very "sticky" when combined with the mount and is therefore a bit too slick for the mic to maintain staying-power on the stand - especially if the performer wants to angle the mic more for aesthetics than for practical feedback rejection; the mic may very well slip forward and out of the mount. It looks like Heil tried to tackle this problem with the addition of some "fins" at the bottom interior of the mount. The fins may have worked to reduce the problem. However, we feel that we should be able to hold the mic by the clip pointed downward and that the mic would not budge if jiggled about. However, the PR-35 begins to slip in relatively short order. And the PR-35 is a larger microphone than most - which is why the clips supplied are the same as what you'll find that ship with Shure handheld wireless mics; which is handy should you need a replacement clip. Still, this is a minor problem to overcome when considering the performance of the microphone itself. Afterall, we are discussing a mic-clip here. In the end, one is hard-pressed to find a better vocal dynamic vocal microphone. However, since every voice is different, it may not be mic for a particular voice - which is a truth to be said of any vocal microphone. There are some really nice hand-held vocal condenser mics on the market, but the risk for feedback is much greater with little, if any, benefit to the sound over the PR-35. Where most of us are not mixing on major touring stages that have enough real estate to help diminish the spill of other elements into the vocal, the condenser mic alternatives are not a realistic alternative to those of us working on "real" stages when taking the widely varying degrees of microphone technique and stage volumes and so forth. In the PR-35, Bob Heil has taken our familiar friend, the dynamic microphone, and has given us the best of both worlds.
