I wonder how well the old 444 would sound on an Orion II? What was the
impedance on the Shure?

Ten-Tec made banana mics with both ceremic and electret elements. The
ceramic mics were
ElectoVoice with the Ten-Tec brand on them. (Ten-Tec founder Al Kahn also
founded ElectroVoice.)
The ceremic version was originally designed for the Argonauts and Tritons.
They had the 3-conductor
phone plugs. The electret version had a four-pin plug and was designed to be
used with an outboard
speech processor that Ten-Tec also made as an accessory to the Tritons. I
once had the processor. It
was black color and matched the Argonaut 515.
The banana ceramic mics never seemed to work that well with my Argonauts and
Tritons. I used the
Shure 444 which had much more "punch."
