Hi all,
My front microphone connector has always had a fairly significant wobble in
it. Partly because of that and partly to get rid of the clutter, I have
finally moved my Heil proset and the footswitch to the back. So this is no
longer a big deal. Now that the socket is naked I notice that
Don't know if this applies to the K3, but the outer ring on my K2 is loose
like that too. I couldn't get the plug far enough into the board to lock it
down. I didn't feel like breaking anything so soon as I got it as far as
it'd go I soldered 'er in.
maybe this is by design for the mic plug?
Knut,
Not to worry, it is just the shell that is moving - If you purchase a
bare mic jack, you can see that the plastic assembly to which the pins
are mounted are not held rigidly to the shell.
If you want to fix it, remove the front panel, scrape away a bit of the
solder mask at the base of
I might want to do that. Is there any truth to the rumor that this can be
accessed by removing the left side panel only? I really don't want to got

Knut,
On the K2, you may access the mic jack by removing only the left side
panel,but on the K3, I believe you must remove the front panel assembly
to gain access to the base of the mic jack - you do not have to remove
the front panel from its metal enclosure, nor do you need to remove the
Hello Don,
I have been following this tread. I have had my K3 for about two years and the
mic socket will turn a little. I said something a year or so ago on line here
but never got any feed back. Do you think it a defect, or just needed play and
should be well enough left alone. Never had any
It certainly is not a problem. All foster type jacks that I have
encountered have this condition. The insert holding the pins is not
tightly fixed to the shell. If the mic jack shell is secured to the
panel and the pins are connected to the PC board with wires, the
assembly with the pins
Don,
Right you are. Some times we K3 owners can be mighty picky and not see
the Forrest from the trees.
