RE50b is a low z dynamic mic that is well suited to voice and is an excellent mic should work well for K3. To use this unbalanced you are correct to connect pin1 to pin3 (cold to ground) do not connect the XLR connector body to the ground it should be left floating. I have used many balanced dynamics in this way with many rigs without issue .
