Hello Giulio, That mic will work just fine with a K3. I use an RE16, which is electrically quite similar. A correction to the link that Don gave you. It's http://audiosystemsgroup.com/HamInterfacing.pdf With any pro mic, you should adjust the TX equalizer to reduce the level of the lowest audio bands and boost the level of the two highest bands. The TXEQ settings in my K3 are: 50 -16dB 100 -16dB 200 -10dB 400 -3dB 800 0dB 1600 0dB 2400 +3dB 3200 +10dB To set mic gain and compression, follow the instructions in the K3 manual. My compression control is set to provide an indicated 10-14dB on the compression meter on peaks. I'm a serious contester, and my rig consistently gets reports of excellent audio from other serious contesters, including some who are also audio engineers. 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
