Default Electro-Voice 664 Cardioid Mic

No..this is the worse mic in the world. It will actually destroy the sound of
other mic's near it due to a electro-mechanical after-wave. You must send it to
me immediately for proper disposal. I am probably the only license person you
know who can do this.

On the other hand...all mic's are useful tools. It should have a Amphenol type
4-pin screw on the mic side, which can be attached to an XLR type male plug. You
can try here
http://bama.sbc.edu/electro.htm for a diagram.

Or try the following: On the screw on Amphenol side it should be:
Pin 1- Shield Pin 2-Hi-Z Pin 3-Low-Z/ balanced 150 ohm Pin 4-Low-Z+
And on the XLR male side it should be:
Pin 1-Ground ( Shield ) Pin 2-Hi Z Pin 3-The 2 Low Z's tied together.

Solder away.

Oh, and is this even worth it? Does anyone use this mic in their studios?
I have a computer-based home studio using a Delta 1010 soundcard and an
Allen & Heath mixer. I've have several Shure 57s ..... is the
Eletro-Voice similiar? I've also got a few of the cheaper Marshall
condenser mics as well as an AKG condenser. So, with my "mic cabinet",
would this mic be of any use?
