How have you wired the cable? The Behringer mic is designed (XLR 3) for a balanced audio connection. Wire the cable with pin 2 of the XLR to the tip of a 3.5mm plug, pin 3 to the sleeve of the 3.5mm plug and the cable shield to the sleeve of the 3.5mm plug (no connection to the XLR). Connect the 3.5mm plug to the rear panel Mic jack.
Select CONFIG:MIC rP.H (rear panel, high gain) and make sure the slide switch on the mic is *ON*. If you want to use the front panel mic jack, connect XLR pin 2 to pin 1 and XLR pin 3 to pin 7, a cable shield can be connected to pin 8. The Behringer mic does not include a PTT switch. You will need to use the K3 TX button, VOX or connect a hand/foot switch to the PTT (RCA) jack on the rear panel of the rig. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 9/27/2023 9:29 AM, E-mail-Server wrote:
Im trying to connect the Behringer XM1800S as an external mc on my K3. I have tried all of the configurations possible in the MAIN menu with no joy. Before I break down ( and suffer my XYL's consternation) to buy a compatible Heil product, does anyone have any suggestions? I have the same setup I am trying to use on a Heil proset with no issues. I suspect the mic is the primary issue since it is not an electret mic. Any suggestions are appreciated. PatAB8PS(former W8LNO)
