Also in the world of real pro audio, Bose has deservedly earned the 
reputation of "better sound through marketing." It fits Heil perfectly.

FWIW, I'm a Fellow of the AES, have been a member of the AES Standards 
Committee Working Group on Microphones for 30 years, and am still 
Vice-Chair of the Working Group on EMC. When I was active in the 
industry (about 40 years) I attended at least one AES Convention a year. 
I've yet to meet Bob Heil or anyone from his company, nor do I recall 
seeing a booth for his company. His claim to fame is as a rock and roll 
sound man for one or more big acts.

That RFI with the parametric is almost certainly a Pin One Problem, 
which the pro audio world had discovered in 1994 (by a ham) and most of 
the serious players in the 5-10 years that followed.
