Clip a wire to the grille and to the shell of the XLR. I reviewed this mic
years ago and brand new it came with a bad connection between the top and
bottom half of the body. The head grille shields the capsule from a lot of
noise. When the grille is not grounded, it's useless.

Alex,

Did the info I sent you fix the problem ( It is a problem acknowledged and "addressed" by AKG).

What's the fix?


Haven't got the exact details here at the mo', but something to do with
how to ensure/make a good ground connection between the top and bottom
sections.

Whatever you do you still end up with a nasty spitty mic, but as always
YMMV and beauty is in the eye of the behoder ;-)
