I built a simple interface, with a 10db divider (pad), didn't work. Did some more searching, turns out the CM-500 is an electret (despite many sites listing it as dynamic). Ah-ha! Wired bias to the ring, now I have a tiny (and tinny) output with a lot of hiss. Should I try biasing to the tip and or should I try a dropping resistor?

Thanks,

require some padding or you'll need to turn the Orion's mic gain way down
since its output is much higher than most other mics.

That's also true with the FT-1000MP. I made up an adapter for a DX
trip, and tested it before leaving. I WAS able to turn the mic gain down
low enough to avoid distortion. Dunno about the Orion, but I'd guess
the answer is the same.
