The Heil Classic Pro Microphone

The perfect touch for performing radio drama on stage.

This Heil Classic Pro is a real working microphone, patterned after the RCA 44/44 Junior. It has a smooth sound and looks great too.

It is smaller than the RCA 44 and weighs in at a whole lot less.

The Heil has a smooth low end and a crisp mid rage. It's output is slightly hotter than the Shure 55SH. The Heil also exhibited less tendency for plosives.

The Heil Heritage

A classy 50's retro look, like the Shure 55SH but sexier. This microphone uses the same cartridge as the Classic which means better low frequency response than the 55. The silent slide on off switch is nice too.
