I want to connect a mic with a 3 pin XLR connector on its cable end to
the rear panel of my K3. No instructions came with the mic. This will
require a female XLR to 1/8 inch mono connector. I have seen a couple of
different ways that mics may be wired. Balanced or unbalanced and
apparently there can be some variation in which pins are used for what.
I am guessing that I want unbalanced audio. The scheme I have seen for
this is pin 2 for signal, pin 1 for ground, and that is jumpered to pin
3. The 1/8 inch tip to XLR pin 2 and sleeve to XLR pin 1.
Does this sound right?
