The Heil HDK8 is a drum microphone kit designed to cover the needs of a 5-piece drum kit, including one extra PR 28 tom mic and one extra HH-1 tom mount compared to the Heil HDK7 drum microphone kit. The HDK8 includes two PR 22s for snare and hi hat, respectively, three PR 28s for toms, three HH-1 tom mounts, two PR 30s (black) for overheads or utility applications, one PR 48 for kick drum, and two HM mic clips, all housed in a black hardshell case.
The PR 22 is the quintessential dynamic utility microphone in the Heil line. It provides the superior clarity, articulation, and frequency response Heil is known for compared to standard ball mics, and features a specially-designed internal mount to reduce handling noise. The result is professional-quality live sound reinforcement including guitar cabinets, snare drum, hi hat, and any utility application.
The PR 28 is a small form-factor dynamic microphone designed to perfectly capture toms and drums, and in this kit is paired with the HH-1 tom mounts. Featuring a dual suspension element, the PR 28 accurately reinforces the nuances of a drum’s natural frequency spectrum without transmitting unwanted noise or vibration. The PR 28 provides superb sound isolation for the target drum, eliminating bleed from other drums or cymbals. For hard-hitting drummers, the PR 28 easily handles high SPL without overload.
The PR 30 is a professional-quality dynamic microphone with a natural, clear response and midrange presence that excels across multiple applications. In this kit, it is recommended for use as an overhead or in utility applications.
The PR 48 is a dynamic microphone specifically designed to capture kick drums and low-frequency instruments. Custom-tailored frequency response enhances low and subsonic frequencies while preserving the mid-range attack and high-end nuances often lost in other microphones. The PR 48 easily attaches to a standard-threaded mic boom with its built-in threading.
