"No, it is NOT the correct description."
Jim Brown presented a paper to the AES Convention in October 2003 entitled:
"Testing for Radio-Frequency CommonImpedance Coupling (the "Pin 1 Problem") 
inMicrophones and Other Audio Equipment."


I guess that must have been some other Jim Brown. 


Of course, not every case of unwanted common impedance coupling is a 'Pin 1' 
problem, but every 'Pin 1' problem is a case of unwanted common impedance 
coupling. A search will show that Jim is far from alone in the audio world in 
equating the two.
