- Hi, we have the Heil pr40 40 microphone in Direct comparison with a standard stock ELECTRET microphone that comes with the Icom ic-7300. I thought it might be fun to do a basic video on a differences you might expect to hear if you to buy the microphones or possibly curious what they sound like as you can hear there's no extra amplification or EQ added. I hope you find this video useful. It's only a basic quick video but at least he might give you some idea which path you want to go to when it's time to change your microphone. The editing was very difficult, hope it made sense, Thanks for watching and a big thanks to George, PL4LSD for his help for making this video, thanks and 73 from Rotterdam 👍🏻Hallo, we hebben de Heil pr40 40-microfoon in directe vergelijking met een standaard voorraadmicrofoon die wordt geleverd met de Icom ic-7300. Ik dacht dat het misschien interessant zou zijn om een basisvideo te maken over de verschillen die je zou verwachten als je de microfoons koopt of misschien nieuwsgierig bent hoe ze klinken, aangezien je kunt horen dat er geen extra versterking of EQ is toegevoegd. Ik hoop dat je deze video nuttig vindt. Het is slechts een eenvoudige snelle video, maar hij kan je in ieder geval een idee geven naar welk pad je wilt gaan als het tijd is om je microfoon te vervangen. Bedankt voor het kijken en een grote dank aan George, PL4LSD voor zijn hulp voor het maken van deze video, bedankt en 73 uit Rotterdam 👍🏻
Worth noting is the DC blocking capacitor built into the PR-40. If there were no DC the blocking, the microphone and radio may have been damaged by the 8 volts DC present on the audio line.
Hi,thanks for your comments, I was warned about that, so I brought a Icom/Heil, microphone cable,,,,very good quality and good materials used 👌, 73s from Rotterdam.
its not right to say both mics are dynamic when they are not, the stock hand mic is an electret mic that requires DC power from the radio trough pin 1 at the radio connector and the PR40 its definitively a dynamic so the DC power has to be blocked using a 1mfd capacitor.
Hi, yes I agree 👍, as you can see in the title and description it's a Electret mic,i realised to late, but thanks for pointing that out, 73 from Rotterdam.
I would very much like to hear the difference between the Heil PR40 mic. and the stock mic. that comes with the Icom, IC-7300. Would anyone watching this fun bit of banter know where I might find a video that would actually compare the two different microphones? Seriously, that would be a nice bit of a review as I do have the PR40 and would like to hear (from the receiving gear) how it fares against the Icom HM-219 (stock mic.)
Hi,thanks for your reaction, as I have stated, the videos are just for fun,,,and not reference intended 😉, thanks from Rotterdam 73
Hello just wondering if Heil is still making that cable for the 7300, I can't find it.
Good Afternoon 👍,,,I believe that the cable is available almost everywhere in the Netherlands 🇳🇱, as you know the right cable is very important,,,,,good luck 73s from Rotterdam.
@Bernard-PA1LEG thanks for making the video, 73s from K2CYC
Works only with any 7.5 V Dynamic Microphones, if u have money then the membrane comes from pic. The SM50 Is Original adapted to the icom input impendance. This is the only part u can install, in anyway u need an specrum analyzer or Oscilloscope to adapt any other impendances , then u must have an expert to do this with around 20 years of expirence :). The hand one is an electrete one, they have no drum pressusure .
Thanks for your comments, the SM 50 desktop microphone is excellent, but I wanted a studio mic 🎙 for a boom arm,much easier, and I am satisfied with the results 😀, 73 from Rotterdam. 👍
14/07/22 Just to let you know, I'm listening on Alinco RX8 your +20 5 and 9 in to North Yorkshire tonight,whish I could reply!
Hi,thanks for your comment,sometimes the noise floor is quite high and it makes it difficult to hear some operators, maybe speak with you soon, the propagation has been terrible during the day the past month, thanks from Rotterdam 73.
The hand mic isn't dynamic, u will find the standard mic has a heil microphone insert in it that's y is sounds so good for a hand mic.
Hi,yes I have noticed many Icom ic-7300 sounds very good 👍🏻, when the settings are adjusted appropriately,,,,thanks from Rotterdam.
Yes I stand corrected, the Icom ic-7300 stock microphone is not a dynamic,,,,it says on the back of the microphone,,,,73 from Rotterdam
@Gordon Mcleman where can I find these confirmations pls?
Bob Heil worked with Icom to develop the PR-781 specifically for the the IC-7851 flagship radio. He also reportedly help design the hm-219 hand mic for the 7300. I’m sure icom paid him well.
I think you mean PD4LSD George .. Not PL4LSD in the video description. 73
Thanks 73 from Rotterdam
A good video to watch is optimizing your audio, Bob Heil. Covers settings for Yeasu and Icom with his history thrown in.
I like the video. Nicely put together by all involved. 73's KF6EWO
Hi thanks for your reply, I've seen the Bob Heil video about the microphone settings,very useful information and well explained 👍, funny I have spoken with operators with the BM 800 microphone, 30 euros from ebay, including boom arm and ptt,they sound very good for little money, thanks from Rotterdam 73.
where do I get the cable to use my pr-40 to use it on the 7300?
@@markverasso1661 Hi,I think if you Google it,that's the best way, 👌, 73 from Rotterdam 👍
Try SONTRONICS PAD PRO direct in ICOM 7300 same test. It is cheaper and work perfect much better. Heil it is expensive but not very good to speak in radio.
Hi,thanks for your reply, but my experience is a radio 5 report from almost all radio operators, a lot has to do with the operators voice,, thanks from Rotterdam 👍🏻
Would the Heil CC1 Adapter cable work with the Sontronic Pad Pro. Was thinking of getting the pr871 but maybe not now. Thanks
@@guentermair6415 Hi,buying any studio microphone 🎙 is a bit or a gamble,there's so many variables, 🤔, but I buy only once, so I got a Heil pr40 microphone for the reputation and build quality, its also down to personal taste 😉, but do your homework and I think it will work out, thanks from Rotterdam 73.
Why are you comparing 2 different element? The electret required shadow power and far less gain.
Hi,thanks from your comments, just for fun, as is explained in the description, 73 from Rotterdam 👍
@Bernard-PA1LEG Because you can. Good evaluation, sir.
Not to be harsh, so if I have no good to say, I shall not say anything
Jesus its pulling teeth listening to this,,,embarrassing
I must agree with this. Total disaster. First, who cares what you sound like from your end. Second, use the recording feature of the receiving radio and post that. Third, bookmark the video so that we can switch easily between the mics. Just some suggestions. 73s
