Tom,
Unless I read the K3 and K3S manual incorrectly, Heil has the "HIGH" and
"LOW" mic gain settings reversed.
The HIGH and LOW settings refer to the mic gain, and not to the
microphone output. Those Heil mics have very low output and should use
the HIGH mic gain setting.

Here is what Heil says:
We highly suggest our dynamic element microphones (HC-7, HC-5.1 , HC-6, Goldline GM series or
PR-781 type). In this case, while setting up the MAIN: MIC SEL menu, tap [I] to toggle to
"LOW" Mic Gain, and be absolutely certain that Mic Bias is off by tapping [2], as needed,
to toggle to "OFF" for Mic Bias.
If you are using our high output "iC" element (Pro Set iC, Pro set Plus iC, Pro Set Elite iC, Handi
Mic iC, or the iCM via the HSTA-K8 adapter cable), tap [1] to select "HIGH" Mic Gain, and tap [2]
to set the Mic Bias to the "ON" option. Keep in mind this will have much more output and 'may'
overdrive the mic preamp so keep ALC in range.
