Don't know about the Orion II but I've used a D-104 with a crystal element  
on most every Ten-Tec coming and going.  Folks cautioned me that the  impedance 
was wrong but I used it anyway.  People have always gone out of  their way to 
comment on the excellent audio.  Friends who know me say it is  the most 
natural sounding microphone I've used.
 
Mine had an amplifier in the base but I disconnected and bypassed it as it  
was not helpful.  I would not hesitate to use it on any rig.
