  1. Thanks for all the info and videos Fred. I just bought one last night on a whim, (late night, credit card out, two martinis deep), then I started watching all your videos. I am absolutely amazed, and will surely not be disappointed!

  3. has anyone tried a Heil Pro7 IC with Heil AD1 ICM adapter on the XIEGU G90?
    it looks to me like the mic connectors are wire the same.
    Will I blow something if I try it?
    thanks...WB5EVO
