Hi there,
Yes, I use my old unamplified D-104 microphone plugged into the front jack of my
K3. There is a trick to it that I found reading Fred Cady's book on the K3.
Select front panel, no bias, and then push No. 7 on the
keypad which turns on an additional internal microphone
amplifier which greatly increases the mic gain. A small horizontal dash is
displayed in the menu when this amplifier is activated.
With the D-104 I set the compression to 17 and the Mic gain at 21.
I have a Yamaha CM-500 headset plugged into the back.
I use the same compression and mic gain settings for it
but with bias turned on and the extra amp (7) turned off.
It is a simple matter to use the menu to swap from the D-104 in front to the
headset in the rear.
