So, I learned a few things. I found there was a third wire sheered off at the transformer in the handle portion of things which I had kept laying around. I ended up resoldering the mic as a whole unit again, ran an XLR cable to a female XLR chassis plug on the accordion and purchased an Xvive U3 wireless XLR transmitter and receiver.
Voila! Gold! The third wire and using the correct transmitter and receiver were the answers! Now I am super loud without hiss - however not quite loud enough as the band is too much, so I simply use the speaker a s monitor and route the out as a DI into the Mains.
So far so good!
Now...the problem that has arisen is that my bellows have since failed and I am having to use a different accordion. The issue is that an SM58 will not fit inside, it is very close but no cigar (way more reeds in this other accordion).
Question - what is out there for a thin bodied Dynamic microphone. I measured approximately a maximum of 22mm space at the bottom end and 33mm space at the top end of available space. A typical SM57 measures 23 and 32. So it is very close but still too much. It would be nice to have a little more clearance. Any ideas?
