Thanks, Scott, actually I want both cable ends, and Farnell UK have
both genders in stock. (Amphenol parts T 3504 001 and T 3505 001)

The originals are indeed gold plated. They also have a solder tag which
solders the cable screen to both metal shrouds, as well as the Ground pin.

The Amphenols don't have either.



I'm not at all bothered by a lack of gold Bling, but I think I might now
connect both housings to the cable screen, even though it might not be
strictly necessary.
This will, I believe, directly connect the Power supply chassis to the Mic
chassis, though I suspect this is done internally via the ground pin anyway?

I don't have the (expensive) Mic or Power Supply to try this out, just the
cable.
