Introduction
The XLR Connector is the part of the microphone that plugs into the cable which carries the sound to the sound mixer and speakers.
What you need
-
-
Using a small flat head screwdriver, gently turn the retaining screw at the bottom of the microphone counterclockwise until it stops or provides resistance.
-
-
-
Plug an XLR cable into the loose connector.
-
While holding the disconnect button down, pull on the cable to remove the connector from the body of the microphone.
-
-
-
-
Bend the wire around the contact point. Pin numbers are located on the outside of the connector.
-
Connect the red wire to Pin 3 and the blue wire to Pin 2.
-
Pin 1 should have a single piece of exposed wire connecting it to the metal plate on the top of the connector (the ground plate).
-
-
-
In one hand, hold the solder. In the other hold your soldering iron.
-
Touch both the soldering iron and the solder to the contact point. The solder should melt and create a connection between the wire and the microphone connector.
-
-
-
Remove the solder and then the soldering iron from the contact point.
-
Let the wire cool for 30 seconds or so.

If the wire is not completely connected repeat steps 2 through 5.
