I purchased a cable with the 4 pin XLR connector on one end (forgot what was on the other) from eBay. I believed I paid US$12 shipped. The cable was cut to about 2 ft, and I put the appropriate phone plug on the cut end. My Heil HM10 now is connected to the rear input of my K3, a much neater installation in my very small, cramped shack.
The connector quality was marginal, not up to Heil standards, but fine for my static installation. I had to re-do the cable wires to the XLR connector, as two were crimped and two were soldered. The solution works fine, and was significantly cheaper than buying a professional quality XLR connector, the only type I could locate, and finding a short length of decent mic cable. Search on '4 pin xlr' on eBay. If you do want a high quality connector, try searching music and recording equipment sites.
