Has anyone here provided any information on how to wire XXX mic to a KX3?

We’ve all read various dissertations on how the mic is good/bad or just wrong for the use. 

I bought a similar mic from eBay and bought a cable from Radio Shack and a Behringer Phantom Power supply(cost more than the mic!). Had a Heil cable to use from Behringer unit to K3. Worked pretty well. Now use a PR77d on the K3S (I know, overkill but I like the look of it).
