Heil ICM High Performance Electret Mic for Icom

As a part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the amateur radio division at Heil Sound, Ltd. Bob Heil introduces yet another unique product that will answer the audio problems for early ICOM transceiver owners. After a year of studying the mic preamps and working closely with ICOM AMERICA Heil introduces their 'iCM' microphone- not the inexpensive electrets so common today, but a high performance electret with very high output to drive the low gain front ends of the early ICOM and exhibiting wide frequency range.

The 'iCM' contains the new 'Heil 'iC' element in a beautiful new platinum finish body perfect for hand held use or mounting on a desk stand or microphone boom. It is supplied with a universal mic clip that will interface with a variety of stands and booms.

The 'iCM' comes complete with an self attached 5' length of the 'Heilwire' cable and terminates in the familiar 8 pin Foster connector wired to mate with all early 8 pin ICOM front ends. A 1/4'" female pig tail exits this 8 pin connector that allows the interface of a footswitch or hand switch to control the PTT line. A 'Soft touch' PTT switches is mounted on the body of the 'iCM'.

The frequency range of the new high performance Heil 'iC' element is 35Hz to 10,000 Hz @ -3dB. Perfect for the early ICOM audio preamplifiers.
