Robert, Condenser & Dynamic microphones can both be used with a K3 or KX3. The Astatic microphone may be a crystal of ceramic microphone element (depending on when it was manufactured). There have been discussions on this reflector that it may work without an interface; others say it needs an interface. I use an Astatic for my desk microphone for my K3; unfortunately the crystal element was defective. I replaced the element with an electret from Radio Shack. Works well with good reports. 73 George AI4VZ
