The other day it cut out during a session and I changed the cord and it came
back up. Now it is dead. I use it on the hi-hat and occasionally on acoustic
guitar.I only have one.

Can anyone offer advice regarding getting it fixed vs perhaps for the same
amount get a better mic?

I tried to take a look at it only to conclude I have no idea how to get it
out of the case. I pulled the xlr/ferrite bead assembly out and loosened the
Philips screw holding the receptacle for the xlr/ferrite bead thingies but
obviously I do not know the trick. I am an electronic engineer, can solder
and have replaced microphone capsules.

Thanks in advance
Phil

Try another cable. If that doesn't work, unscrew the capsule, clean the little
spike with Cramolin, and screw it back together again.
Good luck!

Looks like a $55 or $85 problem..... the mic is certainly worth more than
that....

Ditto, I'm an EE too, but if you don't have the tools and training for the job,
send it to someone who does. For example: the manufacturer. You will get
GUARANTEED results. Sometimes the easy path is the best.

p.s. before that though, really really make sure it isn't the cable. You
really need all three connections on both ends of the cable, since sheild is
the phantom power ground return.

pss. If you are still game to get it apart, it sounds like you have a
cold-solder joint on the ground of the output connector, pin 1, if the problem
is in the mic.
