Yes, this would be a very good first thing to look at.  The K3 has a 
very good and very flexible audio system, and any mic that isn't "broke" 
can be easily made to sound very, very good on the air. No outboard 
equalizer is necessary (or even beneficial). I suspect something 
fundamental and simple is wrong, like this, or a connector that is wired 
wrong.  For connections, see the tutorial, referenced in my recent post 
on sound cards.
