Hi Duane,

On this I'd like to add a comment.

One of the issues with the Orion is the design of the Mic Jack, It really needed another pin to return the sheild of the ground. It would be nice also to handle new 'balanced' mics ( sorry for my terminoligy here ). Many of us have to solder the sheild to the mic jack case to acheive the proper grounding and audio performance, ( my self included ). Heil even has instructions for modifing the Orion to handle some of the high end balanced mics. More pins were needed to handle all this so the 8 pin jack is very very welcome addition. I hope it will handle all the Mic issues arising from Orion I

I'm also Hopeing TT will sell their mics with the new jacks already set up.

Best wishes,
Rich
