Heil makes some good products, but, of course he's interested in selling
whatever product is on dealer shelves. Which I would be, too, if my estate
on Bora Bora depended on it :-)
I sold my own Studio One a while back. Not because it isn't an excellent
mic (which it is), but because I standardized the entire station on
something else (PR-40, EQ, etc.) across multiple transmitters.
With an EQ, the "dual element" mics sort of become moot issues. Heil seems
to be moving away from these, based on a current look at the website. I
know I'm a minority of one on this, but the dual element mics with the HC-4
"DX" element, are truly the most offensive sounding mics I've had the
opportunity to listen to. Maybe you'd find them effective, but everyone
else has to actually LISTEN to the god-awful things ... :-(
