None at all - I guessed that the "High Gain" range would be required for a bare HC4 element, and 
that seems to be correct.

Yes - you can set bias and gain *range* from the main menu separately for the front and back mic 
inputs. You do have to set which one is active, and you do have to set the gain level from the knob 
on the front panel *I think*. It wasn't a concern of mine so I don't know if they save the value 
when you switch between front and rear connector.

The ProSet-K2 does need bias and you can set that separately for front and back connector. See page 
13 for the description, and see pg 49 for the menu setup.

hope this helps! - jeff wk6i
