Following the recent introduction of the PR 37 handheld live sound vocal microphone, Heil Sound has announced the RC 37 wireless microphone capsule, designed as a screw-on replacement for use on many popular wireless handheld transmitters.
The RC 37 has sonic similarities to its wired PR 37 counterpart and features smooth low-mids and an enhanced upper midrange presence that allows vocals of all kinds to effortlessly shine through. The RC 37 provides superior rear noise rejection, making it perfect for live applications, particularly in situations with high stage volume. The large-diameter dynamic element of the RC 37 is housed in a stable mounting system that is designed to reduce handling noise and accommodate less-then-ideal methods of holding the microphone. The RC 37 breathes new life into existing wireless set-ups making it the quintessential workhorse mic capsule for live use, while still providing sound quality that is characteristic of Heil microphones.
‘We have had tremendous success with the PR 37 and just as customers loved the RC 35 wireless capsule version of our PR 35, the demand for a capsule version of the PR 37 to fit wireless systems was huge,’ says for Heil Sound CEO, Ash Levitt. ‘We took early versions of the RC 37 to our friends at the Pageant in St Louis for evaluation and everyone was completely blown away by its clarity. We believe we have another winner, and we are very excited to bring this to the live sound market.’
‘Comparing the Heil RC 37 to the industry-standard wireless capsule was like night and day,’ Randy Noldge, FOH engineer for the Pageant adds. ‘I’ve never heard a mic that was so clear when cupped.’
The Heil Sound RC 37 is expected to launch in Q2 2024 and have a retail price of US$249.
