Overview

Heil Sound Microphones

Heil Gold Elite Microphones are specifically designed and crafted for Amateur Radio communications. They contain two distinctly different high performance dynamic elements that are available at the flip of a switch to meet different types of communication needs.

The WIDE position has the Heil Elite full-range element producing smooth, articulate 60Hz-16 kHz audio with the traditional Heil +4 dB peak centered at 2 kHz. This gives the new Gold Elite excellent voice articulation, along with its 'big bottom' low end that is so important for producing a well-balanced, studio-quality SSB signal.

The NARROW position features the new HC-5.1 dynamic element. In 1982 Heil Sound revolutionized Amateur Radio audio with their tailored response HC-4 and HC-5 as the radios had no transmit tone adjustments. Now that today's transceivers have some form of microphone DSP EQ adjustments, Bob Heil designed the HC-5.1 with the great mid-range articulation of the original HC-5 and added 100 Hz to the low end that helps smooth the response. You now can adjust your transmit tone to be anything from casual 'rag chew' audio to the pile up 'bustin' DX and contest audio with the new Heil HC-5.1.

A 'soft touch' PTT switch is wired to pins 3 and 4 for transmit control. The microphone audio is fed to pins 1 (shield) and 2 of the 4-pin XLRs. The Gold Elite uses the HEIL CC-1 microphone cables. Gold Elite Microphones are supplied with a foam windscreen and a 5/8 in.-27 microphone clip that is designed for booms and desk stands.
