All:

I have a follow-up question regarding balanced mics and unbalanced connections. I'm about to connect a balanced dynamic microphone (Heil PR-781) to the rear mic input on my K3S which has a 1/8" unbalanced mono connection.

One recommendation was to connect XLR pin #2 mic (+) to the tip of the 1/8" jack and pin #3 mic (-) to the sleeve. In this case, pin #1 or ground is left floating with no connection. A 1/8" mono jack was recommended for this setup.

The other recommendation was to connect pin #2 to the tip and pin #1 and #3 to the sleeve of the 1/8" jack. It was also suggested that I can use either a 1/8" mono or a stereo TRS jack in both cases.

So which is correct?
