Hi Duane,

On this I'd like to add a comment.

One of the issues with the Orion is the design of the Mic Jack,  It really 
needed another pin to return the sheild of the ground. It would be nice also 
to handle new 'balanced' mics ( sorry for my terminoligy here ). Many of us 
have to solder the sheild to the mic jack case to acheive the proper 
grounding and audio performance,  ( my self included ).  Heil even has 
instructions for modifing the Orion to handle some of the high end balanced 
mics.  More pins were needed to handle all this so the 8 pin jack is very 
very welcome addition.  I hope it will handle all the Mic issues arising 
from Orion I

I'm also Hopeing TT will sell their mics with the new jacks already set up.

Best wishes,
Rich
