Ron,

No.  Pin 6 is NOT bias, but a source of 8 volts.
Bias to the microphone is applied through a resistor, not directly from a voltage source. All you need to do is turn BIAS on in the MIC SEL menu. See the K3 manual for the button to tap to toggle the bias setting.

Thanks, Don. I was thinking along those lines, but I wasn't sure about the getting bias from the K3. On the Foster plug I am wiring, should pin 6 (bias) be connected to pin 1 to supply bias?
