Heil Sound: How to Choose the Right Microphone with Michelle Miller Levitt

LIVESTREAM DEALS Ep8 (Heil Sound)

Michelle Miller Levitt Discusses Heil's Microphones for Livestreaming and Podcasting

Welcome to Episode 8 (Ep8) of the Livestream Deals podcast, I’m Ross Brand. Coming up, Michelle Miller Levitt of Heil Sound talks about how to select the right microphone for livestreaming and podcasting and explains some of the differences between Heil microphones.

I had the opportunity to broadcast live from Podcast Movement using the Heil PR 40 microphone, which did a great job of cutting through the noise and making it easy for listeners to hear the conversation. Thanks to Heil for providing the mics, boom arms, shock mounts and headphones.

I also met our guest Michelle Miller Levitt at the Heil booth, where I tested several different Heil microphones and came away quite impressed with how the PR 40, PR 35 and PR 30 worked with my voice.

Michelle Miller Levitt has been with Heil Sound for 14 of the 15 years the company has been in the Pro Audio business. Michelle serves as Heil’s Creative and Marketing Director. She’s also a talented voice over artist. Her microphone of choice is the Heil PR 35, the same microphone used by Stevie Wonder!

THE FOUNDER: BOB HEIL

Heil Sound was founded by Bob Heil, who worked as a sound engineer with The Grateful Dead and The Who, developing unique touring sound systems for those bands. He is know for creating the modern template for rock music sound systems. Bob also invented the Heil Talk Box made famous in the 1970s by artists such as Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton.
