Heil Mike Connection

[Roy Morris-6]

There has been so much said about the Kenwood mike pinout for the K3 (especially pins 5 and 6).  I would appreciate information on using the Heil CC-1K8 cable with the GM-5 mike.  Is the CC-1K8 (red) cable compatable with the K3 mike connector using the GM-5 mike without changing the Heil connector pinout?  Thanks.   Roy Morris  W4WFB

Roy,

Most of us on the Elecraft reflector *could* venture a guess about the
pinouts of that cord you asked about, but I believe a better way to get
a well informed answer is to send is note to HeilSound and specifically
ask what the pinouts are.  Bob and his crew *should* know the correct
answer.

Once you know the pinout for the cord, you can compare that to the
Elecraft mic pinout and draw your own conclusions about its workability.

Based on the published specifications the answer is "Yes" if
you turn off any electret bias in the K3 menu.  The CC-1K cable
is not designed for use with any electret mics so pins 5 and 6
are open.
