[Elecraft] K3 Microphone Question

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

We have some professional audio types on this list. I am not one of them. As
an ordinary Ham who cares about how my signal sounds on the air, IMHO more
than 90% of the differences in microphones used for communications are
strictly cosmetic and convenience. 

With today's advanced computer-controlled manufacturing processes the
electret element in such mics far exceeds the frequency range any quality
Ham rig will allow, so that is not an issue. 

You will want a housing with pop suppression, so your breath won't make an
objectionable pop when you exhale or say certain phonemes. You need to
decide between hand-held, desk or boom mount and a mic attached to a
headset. And you'll want a connector wired for the K3.  

Elecraft makes a nice set of mics that take all the hassle out of having the
right connector and of course the company stands behind them. (In "full
disclosure", I'm not an employee, but have been associated with Elecraft for
16 years so far. That has given me the opportunity to use several of their
mics.)
