FS: Heil PR-40 mic plus leather case/windshield/shock-mount £300 Whitstable

[Beedster]

Lovely broadcast quality mic great that excels in a number of applications but used by me mostly as a live/recording unit for DB and for spoken voice. In short it's had an easy life and not been exposed to any loud guitar cabs or shouty singists! Selling as I'm using Townsend L22s for voiceover and an Ear Trumpet Nadine for DB

 

Shockmount and windshield unused and still boxed

 

Price includes UK delivery 👍

Thanks @51m0n, if I remember correctly I bought it on your recommendation when I was first recording DB around 10 years ago! And yes, a bloody lovely mic 👍

 

PS I'm very interesting to hear what you have to say re modelling mics like my L22s, I think I started a thread somewhere, i'll drop you a link when I find it

Need to move things on, feel free to make an offer, worst I can do is say no

I have one of these. They are great. My daughter has managed to break the protective cage around the capsule. It was a sad day. But, it is a lovely mic.

Townsend L22s

 

Are those the ones which can be set to sound like a variety of different mics? They look lush.

Yes, the mic itself doesn't, it's a standard stereo unit in many respects (albeit a very high quality one), but they work with UAD software to model the characteristics of a wide range of mics. Much like other modelling tech, it takes a bit of time to accept the break with time honoured traditions, but once you do, wow life gets easier, especially given you can switch mic models/placement/axes in post-production, meaning you don;t have to faff around with mic selection when tracking. Great kit

 

Shameless plug for a Universal Audio Sphere LX modelling mic for sale elsewhere on the forum, even I don't need three of them 👍
