On that note i do feel like i have to note something. I do not own a
heil mic, but i do own an omni d with an added timewave 59+ dsp box.
with the dsp turned on i definately notice the HC-4's cut through
better, any mic with a good sharp high end cuts right through and the
dsp works. If i'm listening to a muffled audio signal, cutting in the
DSP will usually kill it. DSP seems to have its place when the
objective is not to ragchew but to get through ;)
