The K3 is extremely versatile when it comes to microphones. Virtually any good dynamic mic or unbalanced electret mic will work VERY well with a K3. Virtually any pro mic wired for use with wireless mics will work fine with a K3. Shure, AKG, and Crown all make very nice head-worn mics like this. The only mics that won't work are professional, balanced electret mics. Heil products are WILDLY overpriced (by a factor of at least 10:1) for what they are. One of the "features" of certain Heil mics is highly equalized audio to cut through QRM and QRN (but doesn't sound very nice). All the equalization and signal processing you could possibly need is built into the K3, is easy to adjust, and it works VERY well. see http://audiosystemsgroup.com/HamInterfacing.pdf 73, Jim Brown K9YC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
