The point a bit confusing to me was the expression "boom mic set". Is
the requirement for a mike boom and a mike with a cable? Or is the
requirement for a headset, which I take to be headphones with a mike on
attached boom?
I've one of these desk booms I've used very satisfactorily supporting my
Heil PR-781 which is heavy and the Shure SM-58 which is much lighter.
While it offers two mounting systems, I opted for screwing the base onto
the surface as opposed to the clamp-on mounting.

As to mikes, connectors and cables. I choose to buy a good quality
Amphenol XLR connector and a Foster 8 pin connector and a bit of 2
conductor shielded cable and make my own. I find this combination much
more reliable and much less expensive than the adapters. And I believe
more connectors and adapters in a signal path equal more problems.
Thus 2 connectors and one cable is highly reliable. FYI - Has been this
way in the recording studio environment for years and years.

I will soon have a K3S and I’ve been in the market for a boom mic set
for the shack. This will be my first boom mic. I’ve checked out the
Hiel site and could not find any complete packages. Everything is
sold in too many subassemblies. I’ve tried emailing them but no
reply. Our local ham store (radioworld.ca) only sells in pieces as well.
I’d prefer a tried and tested set ready to go boom mic set for the K3S.
Any recommendations? In this case value (performance and longevity
comes ahead of price) for me. I plan to keep this station for a long
time.
Thanks.
