The PR 22 UT has been designed for commercial broadcast, recording and live sound reinforcement applications. This is a very rugged microphone, which makes it ideal for professional use where exceptionally low handling noise is needed.

The PR 22 UT achieves its exceptional performance by using a special magnet structure and a large aluminum 1 1/8" low mass voice coil assembly. A very unique internal rubber suspension system has been designed to reduce undesirable handling
noise. Special attention has been paid to the phasing plug assembly with equally placed ports that sense audio from behind the source entering them out of phase. This produces a very linear cardioid pattern and reduces the proximity effect
while achieving the extreme articulation across its smooth 50 Hz - 18 kHz frequency response. This new Heil element is usable in extreme high sound pressure levels and is immune to overload conditions making it perfect for vocals. It
produces a beautifully smooth audio response without the inconvenience of phantom or outside d.c. powering. This is one great live vocal microphone that has finally replaced the `ball mic' of the 1970s.
