Heil Sound PR 22 UT Chrome Dynamic Handheld Microphone

Heil Sound PR 22 UT Chrome Dynamic Handheld Microphone

The Heil Sound PR 22 UT Chrome Dynamic Handheld Microphone delivers detailed vocal and instrument reproduction for live performances, studio recording, and broadcast applications. Featuring a cardioid pickup pattern, wide 50 Hz to 18 kHz frequency response, and specialized internal shock mounting, this professional microphone captures clear audio while minimizing unwanted background sound and handling noise.

Designed for vocalists, musicians, recording engineers, and live sound professionals, the PR 22 UT Chrome combines versatile acoustic performance with an elegant chrome finish. Its dynamic microphone element handles sound pressure levels up to 145 dB SPL, making it suitable for powerful lead vocals, backing vocals, snare drums, hi-hats, and electric guitar amplifiers. The cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup toward the intended sound source while providing 30 dB of rear rejection at 180 degrees off-axis. This directional response helps reduce stage bleed, ambient noise, and the risk of acoustic feedback during demanding live performances. Whether used for close-miking instruments or capturing speech in podcast production, the microphone provides a practical solution for professional audio applications.

The PR 22 UT incorporates Heil Sound's specialized internal capsule mounting system, which reduces mechanical vibrations transmitted through the microphone body. Its balanced 600-ohm output impedance and standard 3-pin XLR connection support integration with professional mixing consoles, microphone preamplifiers, and recording interfaces. As a passive dynamic microphone, it operates without phantom power. The chrome edition includes a matching chrome windscreen, black microphone clip, foam windscreen, and padded zippered carrying bag, providing essential accessories for stage and studio use.
