... Three pin, male side, with locking screw ring. Anyone help with one? Thanks, Bob Bob, I believe that the microphone connector that you are looking for is Amphenol MC3M (91-MC3M), which is now manufactured by WPI (WirePro International at their Salem, NJ manufacturing facility: http://www.wpi-interconnect.com/salem.htm The Series 80 & 91 connectors can be found on Page 17 of the WPI Interconnect Resource Guide: http://www.wpi-interconnect.com/Reso...ce%20Guide.pdf The Amphenol / WPI connectors are available through the normal electrical distributor channels: Allied, Newark, Arrow and ECCO (Chicago) http://www.eccochicago.com/ecco/index.asp Here are some sources, in addition to one listed above: http://l7inc.us/part_91-MC3M http://www.onlinecomponents.com/sear...&r=&ref=sparts This web page (for the JT-30 microphone) also sells the 91-MC3M connector ($ 16) http://www.jt30.com/jt30page/eacstore.html The Shure 55SH Series II is the current production model: http://www.shure.com/microphones/models/55sh.asp Shure does have the data sheets for its discontinued products on-line (great resource) http://www.shure.com/datasheets/guid...continued.html Shure 55S, FAQ: "I have an old 55S, but can't seem to determine what year it was manufactured. Also, there seems to be a difference in models produced from 1951-1971 and those produced after 1971. What is the difference? When was the line discontinued?" 1. There is no definitive way to determine the year of manufacture nor does Shure offer that service. 2. There is no definitive list of the product differences over the years. 3. The model 55SH Series II is still made (current production model). 4. The model 55S was last sold in 1978 for $84; first sold in 1951 for $72. 5. A mic collector web site such as www.coolmicrophones.com may have more information. 6. View discontinued mic data sheets at: http://www.shure.com/datasheets/guid...continued.html 7. Shure does not offer opinions on the values of vintage microphones. Value is determined by the collectors willing to buy the mic. Here are the 1951 and 1971 data sheets: http://www.shure.com/pdf/discontinued/55s_1951.pdf http://www.shure.com/pdf/discontinued/55s.pdf Shure stocks some parts for these earlier models. Most replacement parts (and many accessories) for Shure products are available through the Shure Service Department, including selected replacement styli (needles) for phonograph cartridges.

I guess it's a currently available part. I looked at the specs and this is one great microphone; I now have two of them. I need to make up a cable for the new one. Bob |

Bob - The audio response from the 55s is very flat from 150 Hz to 6 kHz which provides great reproduction for voice work .... which is also why Shure still makes this classic after 50 years. I forgot to give you the restoration pages for this microphone (Shure did make a version in a gold finish) .. Darren Pallen Productions is probably best known for this microphone and his restoration work (using red and blue silk for inserts). http://www.darrenpallen.com/Shure.htm History of the Shure 55 series goes back to just before WW2 (photos from various collections) http://www.k-bay106.com/shure55a.jpg (1939 - 1946) http://www.k-bay106.com/shure55.jpg (1947 - 1951) http://www.k-bay106.com/shure55s.jpg (1951 - 1978) Ribbon microphone restoration (Larry King and David Letterman have them on their talk show desks - although an out of camera boom mic is usually used for audio pickup) The late Jon R. Sank was the designer for many of the RCA ribbon mics (highly prized). http://www.thuntek.net/~bk11/bk11.htm http://www.bigdmc.com/mic-repair.htm gb |
