[QUOTE="Rainer Halonen, post: 117155, member: 182"] Re: Problems with the pins in Shure mics. Is it just us? What to do? I think they were talking about the same issue we've had with 87's. They cable stays plugged in (apparently securely - not a latch problem), but the actual "electrical" connection is obviously not as good as it should be. Normal handling of the mic causes random loud pops. I've run into the exact same problem on several Beta87's (owned by different venues), as well as one SM86. As far as I recall, all of the cables had Neutrik connectors (some were brand new cables). I've given up on the two 87's we have for this reason. Never even occurred to me to try a Switchcraft on them. Might have to try that next week... Never noticed an issue on any 57's, 58's, etc. Maybe it's just not obvious as there is no phantom power to get "interrupted". [/QUOTE]
