K3 - Adapter to plug cell phone mic into the K3

[Gary Smith-2]

I have a microphone that fits in my Bose
QC15 headsets and it works incredibly well
with my cell phone. It's noise cancelling
and everyone I talk with loves the sound
quality over the cell phone mic.

I would need a Y connector that has an
output for the headphones on the K3 and a
2nd one with a mic plug for the K3. I have
a female with a cable & bare wires at the
end that I thought was for a mic but
apparently it's for the headset and the
internal connections don't match that for
the mic.

The male plug is like a stereo mic; same
overall length with the tip and first ring
the same dimensions but instead of a long
sleeve on the headphone plug, the sleeve
is cut in half and there is a 2nd ring.

Anyone know of a good adapter that will
fit this to the K3?

Thanks,

Gary

I have one that came with the Best Buy headset I use for SSB on the K3. It's a Y with a TRRS-F to 2 TRS-M. Search Amazon for "TRRS Adapter" and you will get lots of choices. Make sure you get the right genders on both ends.

You will likely have to set bias and TX equalizer to make it sound right.
