[QUOTE="Marsellus Fariss, post: 9896, member: 1107"] We're constantly having problems with the pins in Shure mics intermittently disconnecting during performances causing drop outs or pops in the case of condensers. It happens with old mics and new mics. With 58's, beta 58's, beta 91a's, and beta 87's especially are the worst offenders. Being a club we've got lots of different age cabling with different brand XLR ends around. Most of our ends are EWI, Orange County Speaker but we've got some Neutrik, Amphenol, Switchcraft, Whirlwind you name it we have line with that brand of end and yet I can't find an end that solves this problem across the board. It happens with our mics and bands mic packages. The poor BE of one well known act had to go through a whole box of line to find one for his star vocalists beta 87 right before show time during change over. And their mics where brand new. Yet a week earlier a different very active vocalist's beta 87 had no problem at all even whilst being yanked around quite a lot. Ive just got a box of Neutrik NC3FX ends and I'm going to put them on a bunch of our line and cross my fingers. I really don't know what else to try. We've got some NC3FX ends around now that don't solve the problem but their maybe a little old. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
