It wasn’t too bad to be honest, good (probably too) hot iron seemed to do the trick. Thanks again for your help

So, Sunray set me down the right path! 🙂 The flipping 4c cable is indeed enamelled or similar under the insulation - I tinned the end of all 4 cores separately and there is continuity between like colours. I've now put an XLR and tested - all good. Thanks for your all your assistance 🙂

No problem hijacking, the more we can find out about these mics the better 😀 - definitely would be interested to know how yours are wired, in the meantime good luck with the show 👍🏼

All good suggestions, there’s two of them and they both have the same cable, so whilst not impossible they’ve both been rewired I think it’s unlikely- labels are still well attached too which also suggests they’ve not been meddled with. Must admit I only put the meter in one of them though, I don’t know whether the second one is the same, will check that later on

I'm trying to work out the wiring for the Audio Technica pro 45. I've just inherited a couple without the XLR on the end - no biggy I'm sure. There's 5 conductors in the mic cable and obviously 3 pins in the XLR. There's 2 Red, 2 yellow and the shield, seems to be no conductivity between like colours or I'd just have twisted them together and cracked on. Don't really want to start peeling labels and dismantling the mics and so far I've found nothing online. Any of you fine people have the answer, or have the mic and are prepared to have a look in the XLR for me 🙂

Just thought I'd add a quick comment to say I've built a number of these units over the past few months for an amateur group. They had their first outing last week, used in a commercial theatre along runs of 50m plus, and they worked brilliantly B-) There appeared to be some slight distortion on one headset, but nothing that wasn't bearable, anyone come across such an issue? They're certainly a million times better that the 446 radio's we've used in the past! Time to build some more, and perhaps even a 19" rack mount version for the sound guy
