I want to connect a mic with a 3 pin XLR connector on its cable end to the rear panel of my K3. No instructions came with the mic. This will require a female XLR to 1/8 inch mono connector. I have seen a couple of different ways that mics may be wired. Balanced or unbalanced and apparently there can be some variation in which pins are used for what.

I am guessing that I want unbalanced audio. The scheme I have seen for this is pin 2 for signal, pin 1 for ground, and that is jumpered to pin 3. The 1/8 inch tip to XLR pin 2 and sleeve to XLR pin 1.

Does this sound right?
