Yes, it is a LOT of trouble, and a complete waste of money for ham radio. 

First you need balanced phantom power, then a real mic transformer to connect 

it to the K3. There's no good reason for using a mic like this in ham radio.  

I'm using an EV RE16. It is ideally suited to ham radio, rejects noise in the 

shack, no proximity effect, no breath pops, etc. It works very well with 

every ham rig I've tried it with, including the K3. 


See http://HamInterfacing.pdf for details and a list of other great pro mics 

to use in your ham shack that cost a LOT less. 


BTW -- I own a lot of pro mics, including a pair of TLM170s. They're great 

for recording acoustic music, which is what I use them for. I wouldn't dream 

of using them in my ham shack.
