andydye Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I have a few e855 mics and they've been great over the years, one has recently failed and I'm struggling to find a replacement capsule to get it working again. Has anyone got any clues where I could source parts? I've tried the usual Google and not found anywhere that has them... Or What would be a replacement of equal quality and clarity? I've heard good things about heil...? Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydye Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 I really like the look of the heil pr35 but they're a bit more than I wanted to pay...what're the pr20 like anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I have a few Heil mics. PR20 and PR22 (both UT cos you don't need all the accessories) are both superb mics and certainly outperform the SM58 and Beta in my opinion. Using the Shures as a bench mark, The Heils have a nice smooth top end and a more focused bottom end than the Shure. The feedback rejection is also spot on - defo a worthwhile purchase. I also have a PR35... they are the dog's danglies on vocals. Sounds lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydye Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Well, option 1 is a no goer, neither Sennheiser or their UK spares folks have got capsules to replace mine with so that mic needs junking The upside is I get to do some mic shopping when I scrape some cash together! Heil here I come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Gear. Top service. And the free XLR is actually a decent Proel one (so take that into account when looking at overall mic pricings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
