I get great reports from a Koss SB/45 headset. $25 delivered from
Amazon. I also have a $10 Logitech gaming headset that gets excellent
reports but it is not quite as comfortable and the Koss. Or my 50 year
old Shure 444.
You do not need to spend $200 for a mic to get great sounding audio ou
Us OT's can remember the times when microphone elements, like optics, were
largely hand-crafted. As such, the good ones tended to be expensive and
often fragile.
Nowadays, both optics and mic elements are manufactured using highly
automated processes that provide uniformly outstanding quality at
Ah yes - a sow's ear into a silk purse can make the K3.
I have a woodworker nearby, built a perfect example of an RCA 44 -
except the internals are a RadioShack electret element. Runs it through
his EQ on the K3 and it sounds like the real deal. It is in use every

I use a Heil PR 781 with great success. The K3S TX EQ is set as follows;
-16 dB @ 50 Hz, -12 dB @ 100 Hz, -6 dB @ 200 Hz, and 2400 Hz @ +3 Db,
3200 Hz @ +6 dB.
Working distance to the face of the mike is 4" to 5" on axis {one fist}
so as not to enhance bottom end due to proximity effect,
I can't say for SURE how my mic is going to work with a K3s, but it
works awesome with a fully updated K3.
Mine is a custom true condenser mic, suspended from a shock-mount on a
Heil PL2T boom, using a Canare XLR to feed the audio signal to a Mackie
ONYX Black Jack, 2-channel preamp, used for -48v

headset. The general advise is to try what you have.
