Flea Market find/ Rewiring to XLR

[aghaller8]

Well after a summer of wading the BO stench, the flea market paid off. Found an old green bullet with stand for 5 bucks. The element looks great, but the 1-pin mystery plug probably has to go.

Anyone know the best way to rewire one of these to XLR? Would I want it Hi or Lo? I'll be using it for recording and stage mostly for vocals/ color mic. Pretty excited about it.

Also as a side note-- Anyone have one or know anything about it? It's not like the new ones Shure makes. It's smaller in diameter, Made in the USA. Controlled Reluctance Tranducer by Shure Brothers Inc. Model Number 99F86 written in red on a white label.

See www.Greenbulletmics.com/Welcome_Page.php about halway down the page.

Thanks in advance.

Put a 1/4" plug on it - it's high impedance unbalanced. Plug into a DI if you want a direct signal, or into a small guitar amp for that other sound.

Oh, and congratulations! Great find.

I'd agree that you're probably better off with a 1/4" than an XLR since there's nothing that would load pin 2 anyway.
I have an old Shure 55 (can't remember the letter designation but it's the smaller one, not the larger one) and it has a little adapter that screws into that weird little 1-pin radio set connector and makes it a 1/4" TS. No electronics, just a straight adapter, and I plug can plug it into amp inputs or I usually go through a DI into a mic preamp.

Enjoy the new toy.

did you look for a datasheet at shure's website? They have an excellent collection of docs for discontinued products. There might be something of use to you there.
