Note that both the HRM10 and the HRM14 (which is Giganova's CR-14) have a 600 ohm impedance in their stock configuration. Most other Alctron mics have a 200 ohm impedance.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the differing impedance is due to a difference in transformer ratios, right?
