Ive watched all of the vids I can find on Bob Heil. Most of them multiple times. One can either choose to learn from individuals like him, or one can lose out on a wealth of knowledge that teaches us something we may not have known.

We'v used Bob Heil's mics in the Ham (Amateur) radio world for decades... I bought the model PR 781 for my Kenwood TS-850S and it sounds amazing on the air... 73's DE KK4MMM..

Im new to HAM....got my callsign first week of June 2020....general in July....Extra in August. After getting my first HF rig, FT-991, and then got a Heil PRAS. Oh man....amazing. My wife is not easily impressed, and she was amazed. Hooked it up to a powered JBL speaker designed by Heil. Now have a PR-40 on order. Have spent most of my time, effort, and cost in my shack in Antenna, Grounding, RFI reduction, and Sound.

Great show! Bob's a riot! Serious food for thought.

35:00 as an argument for having boring sounding mics. Yes, the HEILs are great on stage. Absolutely. They ARE the best. Handsdown. But they sound harsh when not listening in a live environment. Since many shows gets broadcasted and since people expect studio sound from broadcasted liveshows these days. I have no choice to go with the Shures, Sennheiser and Neumanns. Especially the Neumann condensor handmics. It's almost as if you are in a studio when the end mixing is done. Outside that, LOVE HEIL mics for HAM, broadcasting and instruments.

Love all Six of my HEIL microphones.(2)PR20,(1) FIN,(1)Goldline Pro,(1) Gold Elite,& (1)iCM.I also have (2)SM-1 shock mounts,(1) PL2 Overhead boom,(1)FS-2 foot switch, & (1)HS-2 Thumb switch.All of the items serve me well and I look forward to having more soon.

EPISODE 335 IS WOW . LEARNT A LOT FROM MR BOB HEIL. amazing opened the mind on microphone what he is talking about. great episode . I will know purchase pr 40 and try it out my self.

Turbo!!! The best Engineer I know!

I use an old dynamic GE mobile mic from the '60's or '70's on my mobile radio because I can be driving down the road at 70 mph with my window down and can barely hear my radio, but people tell me I sound like I'm sitting in my shack. Whatever magic GE did with the acoustics of that plastic mic and the mic element really works. Chinese junk it ain't.

Hi Bob can you dismantle the CB1 Mic base stand and gain access to the switch..if so how, from Fred in UK g4vvq. thank you

For Ham radio, I prefer a mic with a sharper, harsher tone. Studio sound is ok for podcasters, but to talk to England from the USA on 75 watts and get through clearly, with great audio reports, I'll take a sharper toned mic! BTW I use a $15 Pyle PDMIC78 for my European DX.

If you're looking for info about headsets: 55:25

Seems like a very interesting individual to shoot the shit with. Considering the PR77 for upcoming project. Would be my 1st Purchase from Heil.

so what model is the gold mic?

I have a PR20. Sounds okay but thank GAWD it is on a stand with the handling noise hell. Quality control kicked in after it was on the market. I like my SE V7 better for sound.

Bob's magic wands of sound

31:00 Hahaha 😂 I agree on the 58!

i have one bobs mic,s the heil hm12 and i have it on the pro3 and all i get is comolements on my audio but i think its more to do with my radio and its set up anyway back to the subject yes i think there to exspensive because were all not well off like some ppl i could mention mainly because of his prices i surpose lol 73 from slelmersdale england thats by liverpool

Anyone can buy a radio but you can build your own antenna think about it

Yeah voice inflection that's it

It's NOT Bias....it's Experience.

I have Heil headphones with boom mic.....suks...you have to turn the mic gain up 3/4s to get it to talk.

They maybe the best out there but I would say most of us can’t afford them and have to go with what we can afford

use a noise gate.

Infomercial

20 minutes of clipping and distortion. I must be missing something...?

You sound like a phone call from 1972 for sure

stop show boating.

Wanted to learn more about Microphones, as the title indicates. After 6 min.plus of self adulation and supposed non-biased product opnions, I've had enough. My takeaway, these people have come together with their personal friend Bob Hiel to help hawk his products. Nice try...

7 minutes into the video and still no talk about dynamic mics. The expectations of someone coming across this interesting title are apparently not the same as the people making it.

Who cares about your personal broadcast BS? NOT ME! I was hoping to hear something intelligent about dynamic microphones, not Hammond organs!

Heil microphones are over rated. No one in the broadcast business will ever take Bob's microphones seriously because he's a little indentured. But they are OK for CB ham radio.
