Lee,
In broadcast & pro-audio (probably other services) - microphones aren't
impedance matched. Normally you want to have the microphone load impedance
(amplifier mic input) at least 10 times the microphone's characteristic
impedance. My K3 schematic shows a 10k input pad-out resistor to a 100k
feedback resistor so the 600 ohm microphone should have no issues.

Just came into possession of an ElectroVoice PL91 microphone. The specs
says it has 150 ohm impedance. I think that the K3 would like to have 600
ohms. I would imagine that this could be used on the K3 if you used an
impedance transformer. Comments?
