Topic: Microphone cable / connection repair

[robgronotte]

I have a set of Sennheiser ME-104 mics that got Jenny use for maybe a year and a half, then one channel started occasionally cutting in and out, with some static noise.   I'm pretty sure the mic itself is ok but either a cable went bad, or more likely there's a loose connection to either the mic or the 1/8" output jack. I might be able to figure out what it is, but I wouldn't trust myself to try to fix it anyway.

Is anyone (in the US) good with this kind of thing and could try to fix it for me? I would pay a reasonable fee for your time, but I'm hoping this would be an easy fix for someone with the right equipment who knows what he's doing.

I wasn't sure of the best place to post this; if I missed a better place, could a mod please move it? Thanks!

Are you sure it’s not the capsule being loose?

They screw on and off.


If had an issue with those before and that was the problem with mine.

Did the loose capsule cause the problem I described?

I didn't even think about that and wouldn't have remembered, but now that you mention it, I think once when I was removing the windscreen I accidentally loosened it and then tightened it again.  I'll definitely check that soon, but if anyone would be interested in fixing (if it's not that), please still let me know.
