[Elecraft] XLR microphone wiring, K3 rear panel

[david Moes]

Wire it as Hot to tip and return and ground to the sleave.
  I use the same mic.    I find it a little boomy so I cut   50hz to 
minimum   100hz to minimum 200 HZ to -6  400 to -3,  800 at 0    and the 
rest to +4 except the 3200 hz at -2  Bias off,  and High gain

Hope this is what you needed
