Heil Sound HDK-8 Primo Dynamic Drum Cardioid Microphone Kit, 3x PR 28 Drum Mic

The Heil HDK-8 drum mic kit is the ultimate drum microphone collection. Start with the legendary PR 48 kick drum mic, giving you the best foundation for kick sound (with excellent side & rear noise rejection and the ability to withstand 148 dB SPL). This microphone is alive at 30 Hz, to 8.5K with a 10 dB boost where it is needed, making it the most real sounding kick ever heard. You will particularly appreciate the kick beater sound.There is so much flexibility built in to this kit, which also includes two PR 22 mics (great for micing a snare from above and below), along with three PR 28's to use on toms, and more, with two PR 30B's (perfect for overhead cymbals), complementing the venerable PR 38 kick drum mic. All microphones in the HDK-8 are dynamic element mics, with tight cardioid patterns to produce quality, linear, sound.More importantly, these professional microphones bring out the best in the drum, as opposed to "manufacturing sound". It's almost like Heil microphones know exactly what to do with sound coming from any direction. That is why the microphones in the HDK-8 are the preferred microphones of some of the most successful artists and engineers in the world. The eight microphones in the HDK-8 kit come with three HH-1 patent-pending mic clips and two HM Standard mic clips in a rugged hard-shell carrying case. Bring out the best in rock, jazz, blues, funk, or whatever, with the microphones included in the HDK-8. - PR 22 Handheld Microphone - The HEIL PR 22 microphone is a revolutionary dynamic cardioid microphone incorporating a large (1.125") diaphragm, patent-pending ISO BAND isolation mounting that offers greater articulation throughout its entire wide, flat, frequency range with very low handling noise. Additionally, noise directed at the rear of the mic is virtually eliminated through a combination of special porting & phasing plug design. This is a sound professional's dream, come true.Best-in-class rear noise rejection means you'll get more sound out of the PR 22 before feedback occurs. The PR 22 microphone has exceptional mids and highs, but not at the expense of sacrificing any of its frequency range. The PR 22 is an extraordinarily "stage-friendly" mic that can take a full-on snare hit & deliver the richest sounding snare with no overload, and no compromise. When using a pair of PR 22's on a snare (one top-mount & one below), they produce what some say is the best snare sound available at any cost, with little or no EQ.The PR 22 is able to deliver rich vocals, warm & accurate guitar, crisp snare drums with depth, stellar piano, shimmering cymbals, and more, to the board like never before. Whether you're recording with the PR 22 in the studio or using it for live application, your ears will tell you it is a cut above all the "legacy microphones".With the PR 22 you get a leatherette carrying bag, a mic clip and three acoustically identical metal screens (Black, Silver, and Gold). - PR 28 Drum Microphone - The Heil PR 28 microphone is made specifically for toms, and snare drums along with other percussion instruments like bongos, conga, timbale, djembes and more. However, the PR 28 is suitable for other uses as well where a wide frequency range and immaculate isolation is desired.Heil Sound engineered the PR 28 with a dual suspension dynamic element to eliminate unwanted vibrations and noise, even in the most extreme settings; like when placed above or beneath drums with close proximity monitors, bass cabinets and other sound sources. In fact, the PR 28 dutifully isolates the target drum from neighboring drums just inches away, with precision and ease.The PR 28 has the ability to withstand very high SPL's, meaning it can bring out the best in even the hardest hitting drummers without overload, or bleed-through. When coupled with the optional (patent-pending) HH-1 Mount, it will easily mount and remain exactly where you need it on the drum.The PR 28 can be purchased separately, or in the HDK drum kit series, (HDK-5, HDK-7 and HDK-8), and is available with a variety of microphone mounting options.With the PR 28 you get a world class drum microphone with built-in mic stand clip in a foam-fitted box. - HH-1 Mount - The Heil HH-1 drum mic mount is patent pending, in part, for its utility in mounting microphones to drums securely. The HH-1 offers several options to mount, including via the rim, or to the mounting hoops of the drums. The fully adjustable HH-1 was developed with input from jazz drummer and producer, Hunter Herman (hence the HH-1 designation). Like most drummers, Mr. Herman had (in the past), been forced to use methods of mounting drum mics that left him wanting better solutions. Like all producers, he demands mic placement that best captures drum sounds.The HH-1 addresses the need to place drum mics in perfect proximity to the drum to get the desired sound, while ergonomically mounting, and remaining fully adjustable. Whether top mounting, or for when you need a little space between the drum & mic, and/or you're mounting from underneath, you can place your mic with confidence. Mic'ing drums can be challenging considering variables in drum design, number of drums & even the style of the drummer.With the HH-1, you can get into the tightest of tight spots, and you can place microphones where they are going to operate at their optimum level of performance. In live situations, the HH-1 lets sound technicians do great work, without fear of mic stands moving around, or worrying about inferior mounts that tend to break. When you hook up with the rock solid HH-1 mic mount from Heil Sound, You can forget about your mic'ing troubles and start making music.Accepts 1/4"-20 and 5/8"-27 standard mic threads. - PR 30 B Studio Microphone - Everything you love about the HEIL PR 30 dynamic super-cardioid (end-fire) microphone is incorporated into the PR 30B. The only difference is the PR 30B mic comes in a beautiful matte black finish, with red mesh grills. The same magnet composition as the PR 30 (neodymium, boron, and iron), works with the large element to produce a smooth, flat, response throughout the entire wide frequency range. The PR 30B is perfect as a guitar, or bass amplifier cabinet microphone, as well as great for drums and cymbals. It is fantastic for vocals and professional broadcasting.The HEIL PR 30B microphone (like the PR 30), has a humbucking coil, in addition to the large shock-mounted diaphragm.
