Mike,

I'm no audio guy, and have little experience with XLR connectors. 
However, in 2001 when I got my Goldline mic as a free promotion,  it 
came with a long cable with XLR female on one end to connect to the mic 
and 8 pin round for the radio end with the 1/4 jack for ptt.

The XLR connectors were 4 pin and didn't match up with anything else I 
had in the shack.   Don't know if this is a different standard, an 
oddball, or something peculiar to Heil.   Again, I don't know much about 
this stuff, and it was 15 years ago. Maybe different today.
   If you plan on mixing the Heil cable with another mic, I would 
confirm that  things will match up before spending the money.
