[Elecraft] RIBBON MICROPHONE

[Paul Christensen]

You can use a ribbon mic with the K3, but be aware that the pattern is 
bi-directional, and this model doesn't appear to allow the user to alter the 
pattern, unlike say...a poly-directional RCA 77Dx.  Side rejection will be 
good but the amplitude response from rear-arriving sound will be the same as 
forward arriving.  I wouldn't use this mic for that reason alone.

You can connect the mic to the K3's rear-panel mic connector, using the same 
methods of interconnect for other balanced-output mics into the unbalanced 
input of the K3.  Ensure that the K3's mic bias is deactivated.  It should 
EQ nicely with the K3's internal equalizer.
