I've got one and I've had it for a while. How can I test this? I don't know what the pin config is on it and I can't seem to find a diagram anywhere. Also, how can I test it with a normal multi meter?
Follow Ups:
It's a dynamic mic. One pin is the case ground. The other two leads are the voice coil but I wouldn't apply any DC to it through a VOM because it may damage it. From there it a matter of determining the phase of the remainiing leads. I would email Shure for info stating model and serial number. DC will cause the voice coil to go all the way forward or backward and stay there until the DC is terminated. NEVER EVER test a ribbon mic with a VOM! You'll ruin it! The ribbon will be severed, cut by the excursion. Ray Hughes
when I take it apart, there are two wires going to the element. A yellow one, and a green one (assumably signal/return). Should I have resistance between these two points? I would imagine I should, but I don't. I might just solder some leads to those points and test it through a normal mixer to see if I can get anything out of it.
A dynamic mic is a moving coil just like a loudspeaker, you can hook it up balanced or unbalanced. If you hook it up balanced then you have two signals one out of phase with the other. Reversing the two leads will reverse the phase. But you would have to get the color code from Shure.
