Heil GMV - Vintage
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
|
I have the GMV, it has the high impedence transformer for vintage rigs. I use it on my Drake TR7 and my TR4C, and get excellent audio reports. I am not sure why there is a switch on this mic, as it does nothing, but it is a great mic and I get a lot of good audio reports. I have recently added a Heil mic eq for good measure. I would recommend this mic!!!

Great Mic
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
I have used this GM4 with a TS-940, a TS430, FT-857D, a IC-756, Flex SDR-1000, and lastly a IC-756 Pro II and it worked great on all of them, a very nice looking piece of gear too.
You won't be disappointed in this mic

Great!!!

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I bought a used GM 4 at our local Field Day from a local ham. It was wired for a Icom 746 Pro and i took it home to use on my Icom 746 non pro. It worked ok but i re wired it to my Kenwood TS 830S and now it work GREAT!! It has more than enough drive to fully modulate the '830.

After many years of operation and thousands of contacts, I can say this mic has gotten me many many unsolicited comments of audio quality... using with 756Pro, 756Pro2 and now 756Pro 3. I now have added the W2IHY audio chain, but realistically, not needed. Thanks Bob for quality products and a Happy New Years to all.. see ya on the bands

Excellent Mic
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
I' use the GM4 from 2 Years.
In the First time I Use an Icom Ic-746 with Behrinher VX-2496 and the GM4, and the Audio was very good, with an excellent modulation.
Then I change RTX and add other Behringer modules and now i Use this:
GM4-->VX2496-->DEQ2496-->HomeBrew IBox-->Icom Ic-756 ProIII and Kenwood Ts-2000.
With the Ultravoice Digital VX-2496 + Ultracurve PRO DEQ-2496 the GM4 works very fantastic and I have a Very High Quality Audio.

Well Built and A Good Value
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
I currently use the full range element of a Heil GM4 Goldline mic into a W2IHY 8-band EQ and EQ Plus and have received many excellent audio reports. The mic is well constructed and interfaces well with my Tentec Orion. Coupled with the Heil foot switch, its a great combo and is attractive.

If there is anything better in this price range...
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I, too, use the GM-5 version of the Gold Line mic with a Kenwood TS-2000. And I follow the Heil directions for setup pretty closely. With no other EQ, I get regular unsolicited compliments on my transmitted audio...on both elements. 5-element or "wide" is a matter of taste. The net controls on my state SSB net even mention my audio on occasion when I check in.
Maybe there were QC issues early on, but I have no complaints at all. The toggle switch is of a type and located in a place where it seems it could be easily damaged if the mic were dropped or hit by something, but so far, no accidents.
I use the small Heil boom and it serves me well. I'm an old broadcaster and care about my audio (when I abandon CW long enough). If there is another mic in this price range that is better, I don't know what it is.

Great Mic!

I purchased this mic at the suggestion of a much more experienced ham. I couldn't be more happy with the results. I've started getting unsolicited complements on my audio on both SSB and FM. Also, it is a truly beautiful piece of kit. It's a shame to put the black foam windscreen on it, covering up the shiny gold head.

Heil GM-4 AMAZING
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
|
I recently purchased a GM-4 and foot switch to go with my Kenwood TS-2000 to replace the stock mic. All I can say is AMAZING. Without asking people tell me that the audio quality is great. Prior to getting my GM-4 I could call for hours in pile ups and never get a contact. Now I usually get that contact with in 5 calls. I can't say anything bad about the mic. My 11 year old even walked in my shack and said, "dude, thats a sweet bling bling pimp mic!" Hi Hi. 73 and happy dx! Thomas N7BFK
