If they can’t hear you, what’s the point?
One of the questions I’m asked most often is how to get the best choir sound. Quite frankly, it’s not easy and you’re typically asking a lot of your sound system to get enough gain before feedback, while getting a great sound.
Twenty years ago, Audio-Technica introduced its Unipoint hanging microphones and everyone wanted small, invisible microphones and those worked well for stationary choirs. Today, choirs are mobile with many new churches being built without any sort of permanent choir loft, so the need for invisible, permanently-installed microphones has diminished. With the new mobility, people have shown a willingness to focus on sound quality first and are selecting large diaphragm microphones.
Many use large diaphragm condenser microphones, but find them too sensitive, picking up everything from the front row audience to the monitor reflection off the back wall, to the drums, to the guitar amplifiers, etc. Oh and the choir, too.
Have you ever felt like that?
But those large diaphragms bring warmth that’s missing from most choirs. You want the warmth, without all of the other stuff. How do you do that? Enter the Heil PR30.
The PR30 is a large diaphragm dynamic microphone that has just the right balance of warmth and presence with exceptional control of its sound pickup pattern. In short, you’ll hear the choir, period. And you’ll have up to twice the acoustic volume that you’re used to, if you need it.
The PR30 has a big sound, perfect presence and a pair with set you back about $500. If you’ve been struggling with what to do for your choir sound, try the PR30. I promise better results that will shock you. Most churches who buy a PR30 end up buying more.
You’ll have to put the PR30 on microphone stands to get them up into the air, but you’ll be amazed at how suddenly you’ll be able to work much less hard to get a good sound, so that you can think about other things.
