Default D-104 Mics... how many kinds?

I'm looking on ebay for a D-104 microphone to use with my Heath Marauder
transmitter, and I need to make sure I get the right one.

There seems to be differences between models... some are amplified, some
are not; some are high impedance, and some are low.

The sellers for these mics are highly unlikely to know anything worth
knowing about them it seems... so, which one do I need for my Marauder and
how do I make sure I'm getting the right one?

Thanks...


A while back I was able to pickup a clean D-104 at a garage sale from
a guy that called it a "chicken choker". Anyway I got it for $20.00
and it had the amplifier in the bottom of the stand. I removed all the
amplifier and rewired the terminal strip in the bottom. Put on new mic
cable and wired it into my Johnson Ranger. It works like a champ. I
get good audio reports with it.
