Hi Scott - I have a "full W2IHY rack" (8-Band EQ, EQplus and iplus switch-box) that I use with my K3s and my non-Elecraft transceivers. I have used my K3s with everything from Yamaha CM-500 headsets to condenser mics to dynamic mics, with and without the rack, and I have received excellent audio reports in all configurations. I know everyone says that, but one member of my local club monitored me during Field Day (using a KX3 no less), and was "surprised" how good I sounded just using a CM-500 and the internal processing.
The K3's signal chain contains a TX EQ, compressor and noise gate. Adjusted properly, you can obtain very good results with modest mics and no out-board signal processing. I consider, with respect to my W2IHY gear, out-board processing to be just "icing on the cake" and not a necessity with the K3.
