A Month with Bob Heil…….


As most of you know, I am a big Bob Heil fan. All during my developmental years, he was doing it—making the legends. We share some of the same interest and hobbies…and heck….some young digibrains may say we’re both old. (No way!)

We have spoken on the phone several times and shared a few emails and just like his reputation—he is the perfect professional and gentleman. He’s someone you want to do business with.

Terry Manning is the Moderator of the Whatever Works board on the ProSoundWeb’s forum. The month of June was designated as “Ask Bob Heil” month. Here’s an excerpt from his opening:
For those few who may not know, Bob has recorded or mixed, usually in live situations, such groups as The Grateful Dead, The Who, Humble Pie, ZZ Top etc, etc.
He also was the creator of the famous Heil Talk Box, and is an innovator in live sound system and studio microphone design philosophy.
Believe me, Bob has some of the most amazing road stories you have never heard as well!
Of course, Bob is also the creator of the great new Heil dynamic microphones.
Link up to the forum and read all the entries. It will take some time—it’s long.
The Rock’N Roll history is incredible. If you are a HAM, there’s valuable contacts.
If you are a fan of microphone technology, this is a gold mine that may shake the way you think about your studio set-up.

P.S. Yes, for those of you that asked….I did order a new Heil PR-22. Test coming soon.
