Product FAQs
Question: How much weight can the Heil PL2T boom arm support?
Answer: The Heil PL2T is designed to support microphones weighing up to 2.5 lbs.
Question: Does the Heil PL2T make noise when adjusted?
Answer: No. The PL2T features factory pre-set internal spring tension, which eliminates external spring reverberation and ensures silent movement while live recording or broadcasting. The mounting stem is designed to rotate silently to allow a user to move the mic away and back without any sound.
Question: Does the Heil PL2T hide cables?
Answer: The PL2T has covered cable channels integrated directly into the boom arm, keeping microphone cables hidden without the need for velcro straps or external clips.
Question: What mounting hardware is compatible with the PL2T?
Answer: The PL2T comes standard with a Heil C-Clamp (1.5″ maximum opening) and is compatible with all Heil brass-lined mounts, including the DT-1, FL-2, RS-1, and WM-1.
Question: Can I use a PL2T in a small space?
Answer: Yes, the PL2T can be mounted to a wall with a WM-1 mount or it can be mounted to a ceiling with an RS-1 Riser.
Question: Will it keep my microphone out of the camera frame?
Answer: Yes! You can invert the microphone mounting stem to mount the microphone up instead of hanging down. See this setup video for mounting a PL2T with an inverted mic.
Question: Can the PL2T be mounted to the ceiling?
Answer: Yes. You can use the PL2T in combination with the Heil RS-1 riser to mount it securely to the ceiling. First, attach the RS-1 to the ceiling. Then insert the PL2T mounting stem into the RS-1 and tighten it down. The boom can then safely hang from the ceiling. Ceiling installation requires suitable structural support and appropriate mounting hardware for the installation surface.
