Following the recent introduction of the PR 37 handheld vocal microphone, Heil Sound has announced the introduction of the new RC 37 wireless microphone capsule, designed as a screw-on replacement for use on many popular wireless handheld transmittters.
“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 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.”
Randy Noldge, front-of-house for the Pageant, adds, “Comparing the Heil RC 37 to the industry-standard wireless capsule was like night and day. I’ve never heard a mic that was so clear when cupped.”
The RC 37 has sonic similarities to its wired PR 37 counterpart and is designed to provide smooth low-mids as well as an enhanced upper midrange presence. It’s also designed to provide superior rear noise rejection.
The large-diameter dynamic element of the RC 37 is housed in a stable mounting system that helps reduce handling noise and accommodate “less-than-ideal” methods of holding the microphone. It’s expected to launch in Q2 2024 and have a retail price of $249 USD.
