This is forwarded to the list as it was only sent to me, and I do not have an answer. Maybe someone else does on the list

I have some bare connectors, but figured it would be easier to cut an existing cable apart and solder/heat shrink that to the SignaLink cable, than try and solder the connector on.

It is suggested that a 47uF 16V cap be put in series with the mic line to block the DC bias from the KX3 (in case you forget to turn it off -- which I am likly to do).  Put the + end toward the KX3 line and the - end toward the SignaLink.
