While the K3/K3S rear mic jack is physically TRS, it is connected
as if it is a mono (Tip, Sleeve) jack.  A "balanced" 1/4" cable
through a 1/4 TRS to 3.5mm TRS adapter will not work properly as
one side of the microphone will be floating.

All:

I'd like to connect an XLR mic cable that has a 1/4 inch TRS plug to my K3S. It 
seems the only way to do that is wire a female 1/4 inch TRS to an 8-pin mic 
connector.

It would be easier to use a 1/4 to 1/8th inch adapter and connect through the 
rear mic input, but I don't believe it accommodates balanced mics?

Thanks,

Tony
