Flipping your classroom, to me, means having your students learn the information at home so they can apply the content learned at school through labs, practice problems, and classroom projects. Avoid the small diaphragm ATs, overrated, the 2020, 4047, all of them lack bass and the small diaphragm lacks zest.

Heil’s answer to the SM57, the PR-20, had gotten some positive attention from the online recording community, and I wondered if the larger mics in the line might sound good too. The PR30 does better with electric guitar, snares, and toms, while the PR40 is better for kick drums and bass cabinets. I'm running it through a Focusrite Scarlett Solo and it needs the gain up near max if you don't want to be kissing the thing while you talk. The Heil PR-40 represents a completely new dynamic microphone technology designed for a wide range of professional applications such as sophisticated recording, live sound, and commercial broadcasts. The rear signals ‘flow’ into the screens and collect on the tube as they flow up into the bottom of the element.Pop it in the desired location, set the mixer knobs to neutral and the gain very low - you are good to go.

Compared to the more expensive Electro-Voice RE-20, the PR-40 has a better sound 'out of the box' and doesn't have the muddy sound that many report with the RE-20. There were some reviews that mentioned its effectiveness with instruments; namely Bass, Didgeridoo, and Kick Drums. First of all, it’s worth mentioning, as a former radio presenter and producer, not to mention active voice over artist, I’m no stranger to condenser microphones.I got some great djembe tones out of it, and on vocals it sounded impressively natural, but at the same time full and solid — which would be ideal for radio DJs, as well as for some types of studio vocal.

Its ruggedness (I accidentally dropped it on a carpeted floor without damage) makes it worthy for live work or around any drummer.Overview The PR 40 from Heil Sound is a high-performance dynamic microphone ideal for use as a vocal mic for talk show hosts and other voice over applications.
