help Heil Sound PR 35 FAQ
Is the Heil PR 35 a vintage microphone?
No, the PR 35 is a modern Heil Sound dynamic microphone, even though it uses the company's established large-diaphragm design approach. Calling it vintage could confuse it with older broadcast or stage microphones.
Does the Heil PR 35 need phantom power?
No, it is a dynamic microphone and does not require 48V phantom power. It does benefit from a microphone preamp that can supply clean gain, especially for quieter voices.
What does the PR 35's three-position switch do?
The recessed switch provides selectable low-frequency roll-off settings to control proximity buildup and stage rumble. It does not change the microphone from cardioid to another polar pattern.
How does the PR 35 differ from a Shure SM58?
Both are handheld cardioid dynamic vocal microphones, but the PR 35 uses a larger diaphragm and is known for a more extended, detailed response. The SM58 is the more ubiquitous touring standard, making replacement grilles, clips, and familiar engineer workflows especially easy to find.
