They always take some tone quality away from the natural sound. Just do yourself a big favor, and please do not run this mic through any preamps or Equalizer devices. The CB-1 stand is a very classy looking stand with itвЂ™s black matte finish and chrome panel around the neck and PTT button. The pic above shows a home made version of that wire attached. You just need a jumper cable to go from the pigtail on the 8 pin mic jack, to the jack on the back of the CB-1 stand. The CB-1 has a soft touch momentary push button to key the radio. These pics shows the PR-781 mounted on the Heil CB-1 stand. The mic is suspended with nylon covered rubber bands to absorb rumble, thumping, or most any vibration sounds. This is the same shock mount designed for the Heil PR-30 and PR-40 mics. This picВ shows the PR-781 mounted in the Heil SM-2B shock mount for booms. The SM-3 has standard threads that will mount onto any standard mic stand or boom mount. The Heil PR-781 mic, and the Heil SM-3 Mic holder. The PR-781 comes in the box with what you see above. ItвЂ™s about half the price if you buy the parts and do it yourself. Or if you have the technical know-how, you can buy an XLR 3 pinВ plug, an 8 pin mic plug for the radio and a momentary switch and some good shielded mic cable from Radio Shack, and build it yourself. There is also a short pigtail that comes out of the 8 pin connector with a jack on it for conneting a switch to key the radio. The mic has an XLR type connector on the bottom, and the Heil CC-1XLR cables have the XLR on one end, and an 8 pin round mic plug on the other end. You need to purchase a CC-1XLR I (Icom), K (Kenwood), or Y (Yaesu) mic cable (Shown at right)В from Heil to connect the mic to your radio. The PR-781 does not come with a mic cable. From what I have heard from this mic, the PR-781 is very close in performance and sound quality to the famous Heil PR 30 studio recording/Broadcasting mic costing much more And it will also shine on the more elite Kenwood, Yaesu, and Ten TecВ radios as well.

The PR-781 will shine brightly for most of the elite radios from Icom from the 746PRO and 756 series and above. The PR-781 is not just for the Icom IC-7800. You need to speak only into the top end, and not into the sides. That isВ something ALL microphones seem to lack, but has been the mainstay of the Heil Sound line up.

Using one of the dynamic elements from the Heil broadcast division, the PR 781 offers beautiful wide frequency response while keeping that traditional Heil Sound articulation of the speech pattern.

The PR-781В contains one of HeilвЂ™s professional broadcast/recording studio mic elements, so it deserves the вЂњPRвЂќ prefix. This is what makes the PR-781 aВ special mic for ham radio use. The вЂњPRвЂќ perfix is normally reserved for the Heil Professional studio broadcastВ and recording mics. None of the other Heil mics for ham radio use haveВ the вЂњPRвЂќ prefix. You will notice that this mic has a вЂњPRвЂќ in the model number. The 781 is a slightly improvement on theВ 780. Then Heil went a step further and made the PR-781. When Icom came out with their new IC-7800 elite ham radio, they asked Heil to make them a mic that would reallyВ show off the high end audio quality of their new big expensive radio. Read on and see what makes this mic so special. Because of itвЂ™s quality and price, I thought it deserved a mention on my website. *A CC-1XLR K Y or i (K=Kenwood, Y=Yaesu and i=iCOM) is needed to interface with any transceiver.This is one of those mics that only comes around once in a blue moon. The SM 2 shock mount can be used with the PR-781.

The PR 781 is a beautiful performer into just about any microphone input, such as TS 870, 950, Pro 1, 2, 3, Yaesu Mv 5, MP, 20.

The PR 781 is an improvement on the popular PR 780. They didn't want just a microphone they wanted a SUPER microphone for a super radio. Heil engineers were requested by ICOM to develop a very special microphone package for their new iC 7800 radio. This is a truly remarkable dynamic microphone. From the amateur radio division of Heil Sound, Ltd., we present the PR 781, a professional quality dynamic cardioid microphone for amateur radio that is specifically designed for use with most makes of Elite tranceivers of Kenwood, Yaesu, Ten Tec and iCOM.
