I have an HC-104 retrofit in my D-104 ... works great. It came with the 
Heil XT-1,  a 1K to 30K transformer. I hot glued it into the base. The 
D-104 was a straight, non amp version.  No difference other than having 
to run the mic gain control to 12 o'clock  instead of 11 on my T-4X.  
Probably because a crystal element was replaced with a dynamic element.

I'd like to use my Heil Micro-Proset with HC4 element with my C-line 
but the Heil is a low impedance unit with output several db lower than 
most mikes.

Wonder if anyone is using a Heil headset with the HC4 element with 
their Drake C-line...has anyone built a preamp to boost the lower HC4 
output while also providing matching the high impedance the Drakes 
require??

Would sure appreciate any info regarding using the Heil HC4 with the 
Drake C-line.
