I’ve never much cared for the HC-4 “DX” element.  Which is a problem on my part :-)

But it will sound the same on the KX3 as on any other rig you’ve used it with.  Plus, the KX3 will let you EQ the element (within the constraints of the frequency response of the HC-4).  It will also let you EQ a mostly flat element to sound to sound like an HC-4 …

Hi Ed,
If I recall, the HC4 is the "DX" element, so it's not going to have the
full sound of the wider range Heil mics, like the Goldline or the new
full-response elements. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but if
you're looking for "pleasant" sounding audio, the HC4 might not be the
best choice. I'm sure you'll get lots of feedback on this.

73,
