And if for some reason you have a TRS available and not TS
connector.... just wire the ring and shield to Pins 1 and 3, and still
pin 2 to tip.

If you wish to make your own cable using a XLR connector and a 1/8"
Tip-Sleeve connector, XLR pin #2 connect to Tip, XLR pin #3 and pin
#1 to the Sleeve. In the XLR world, pin #1 is ground/shield, pin #2
is hot (+ve) and pin #3 is cold (-ve) Thus for unbalanced use, pin #1
and pin #3 must be connected.
Also, the mike bias must be OFF via the configuration selection in the
radio.

Mike, I connect my EV-RE50ND to the rear 1/8” connector on my K3s
without issue. You need an XLR to TS 1/8” male cable or adapter.
The mic does not care if it is balanced or unbalanced but if you use
an XLR to TRS adapter the ring will be floating free and will cause a
problem.
You can buy the correct 3 pin XLR to 1/8” TS Male cable at your local
Guitar Center or similar place for less that $20….
Select the rear mic. Gain high and bias off. The very same mic and
cable also work perfectly with my KX3.

I would like to connect my 600 ohm balanced mic PR 77D to the K3s
rear mic
connection. The mic connector is XLR 3-pin. I cannot figure out if
the K3
rear connection can accept a balance mic. The adapters I have tried
produce
hum and lead me to believe they force it to unbalance.
Any help appreciated. 73 ..mike AI6II
