A friend of mine called me asking how to wire the XLR connector for the mic in the photo. It uses a 5 pin XLR, I told him that could lend itself to many possibilities! He could not find any name or model number on the mic. It looks like one of many measurement mics I have seen with the exception of the chrome end and the side ports that make me think cardioid pattern. Sorry for the not so great picture that's what he sent me from the phone.

Let me know.

can't really tell from the pic, but sometimes 5 pin xlr's are used in stereo mics.

Looks like a Shure VP88!

Where did you get your VP88?

Just a guess, but I'm thinking that the extra 2 pins are for the "lunch pail" pre-amp / power supply thingy. that your friend may not have.

er... is it a DMX controlled lamp?

  Hello,

Like I said in the other.... if it doesn't have a serial number/model number....it's probably crap.

 None of the quality measurement Mics I've ever seen....Larson/Davis, B&K, Rion, Sencore, Scantek, etc... have a closed opening (bezeled opening) and, they all have screw off capsules with no soldered wires.

 Good Luck,
 Hammer

 ps. it's probably chinese.

Compared to others,I don't think it's a stereo mic. I'm leaning towards no name import mic. Next week I'll get it in my hands and check it out.

Upside down?

My thought exactly, but I have learned in the past not to disagree with Mac. He is a Mean Old Soundguy!
