[Elecraft] Microphone Upgrade

[Don Wilhelm]

David,

You cannot use that microphone directly on the K3 because it requires 
phantom voltage (24 to 48 volts across the balanced lines).  You can 
certainly use the microphone on a mixer (Behringer 802 for example) that 
does provide phantom voltage and feed the output of the mixer to the K3 
(perhaps through an attenuator section unless you choose the K3 line-in).
