A newbie wants to make sure he's on the right track. 3 pin xlr to TRS wiring is straight forward.

But the question is, with the 5 pin xlr (from a mic) is it correct to link pins 2 & 3 and wire to Tip(left), and link pins 4 & 5 and wire to Ring(right). OR should I ignore pins 3 and 5 altogether, and wire pin 2 to Tip and 4 to Ring.

I'm great at the practical soldering part, just rubbish with the technical stuff.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I recently purchased a cheap second hand desk (Tapco mix 120), while in the store I noticed a mic they where selling for $19.00 AUD. Seeing as the price was so low I figured I had nothing to loose by buying it. After beating the salesman down to $15.00 I took the mic home and was surprised by how sweet it sounded. I have looked on the net but can't find any info on this mic, ie: is it a vocal or instrument mic. Could someone please let me know if they know anything about it. Audix UD-50

Kind regards

The jack is broken, and missing the metal sleeve insert, so I think I need to replace the jack.

I found a replacement part at Radio Shack and it has 2 tabs as I would have expected.
(signal and common)

I haven't removed the existing receptacle from the board yet, but it seems to have four contact points with the pcb.

Why four?
Any insights?

Other suggestions?

Thanks,
Nate

Currently our sound tech is using so unshielded 22AWG x 4 wire that says that is Electrical/Fire Alarm cable.
