Does  Heil have the settings on their website? I seem to recall they do.  That is a good place to start.

I currently have a Heil PR-10 mic and am using the MIC FP HI menu setting and a mic gain of 20; the PR-10 works fine, but I wanted to get a mic that I could switch back and forth from the wide HC-5X cartridge to the narrow or DX HC-4X cartridge, thus the HM-10 XD. I have purchased the XLR 4 pin CC-1, connecting cable to replace the XLR 3 pin cable that I use with the PR-10 for connection to the FP Mic connector. The PR-10 has a 600 ohm balance impedance while the HM-10 XD has a 600 ohm impedance, unbalanced, I guess. To begin I intend to use the MIC FP HI menu setting. Does anyone see a problem with that or is there anyone using a HM-10 XD that can offer some suggested settings. Any response or info will be appreciated.
