- Gentlemen, forget the "theory" and focus on practice. I have just disassembled my 30 year old Shure 444 and as I suspected, it has both grounds tied together to pin 2. To be exact, pin 2 has the cabl

- OK Toby, Here's what I found inside. There are three wires (Red, Black, & Clear). The cable's shield actually only shields the clear wire. There is no shield for the red or black wires. It seems to m

- Well, It is suggested to verify some things, but rewiring the mic is not mandatory IMO. I have a serious RF problem with my G5RV wire antenna and I think I'll drop down this antenna tomorrow if I can

- Eric, Sounds like you are on the right track now. Before you take down the G5RV, unhook your RF ground from the Orion ( if you are on the second floor, it may be too long) and also unhook the externa
