>What frequency was the RF? Were all the cables twisted pair? 

I'm using Belden twisted-pair mic cable with Neutrik XLR connectors.  The
cable shield is braided, no foil.  I also tried Canare star-quad cable with
no change.  

Before bonding the shells to Pin 1 at the XLR splice, EMI interference was
substantial from my PC monitors.  The XLR splice is on an articulated O.C.
White mic arm that folds over from behind the monitors.  

I could have simply replaced the entire run of mic cable, but I have a need
to separate the cable at the XLR splice.  Regardless, bonding was an
acceptable cure.
