“The podcasts are really interesting! I recently wrote to Heil tech service with a question about impedance matching for a Heil mic and an old Kenwood boat anchor and I got a response from Bob Heil. I thought, is that ‘the’ Bob Heil and it sure as hell was. This guy is amazing!”

“A bunch of great stories of Bob’s days on the road setting up the sound for some of the iconic bands of the 70’s. Those looking for stories about the bands themselves might be disappointed as Bob focuses mostly on the gear and audio requirements of the bands. Mark @Meniscus_Audio”
