i have an even older Heil mike than the Goldline and it, also has a
four prong male connector in the base of the mike. Somewhere around
the shack I have an old Electrovoice 664 mike and I believe it has
the three prong XL connector. Perhaps it is a bit larger in diameter
than the Heil, but that is just a memory. I think that mike is
buried in a carton and not easy to get to. Thanks.
