Re-Soldering a Mic's connector

[Rocket Boy]

I had to get a new connector for my sm58, the problem is... i have a red wire and a blue wire and i dont know which goes to which on the connector. anyone know? maybe someone could take their sm58 apart and look?

blue is pin 2, red is pin 3.

thank you much, is there anything special i should know... or just solder them the best i can to the contact points?

Blue wire to Pin #2, Red to Pin #3.

Just be careful not to get a blob of solder that's big enough to short against the side of the case (unless you're soldering the ground, in which case it doesn't matter...). There's nothing quite like losing half your signal and all the advantages of a balanced cable over a sloppy soldering job.
