Sm57 wiring question..

[drbabbers]

Just opened my sm57 and the only wire connected by soldering is the green. The yellow lead is not soldered in. Is this a problem? The appears to be functional..

Thanks.

The Yellow lead should be soldered in, it may be working at half volume and the tone will be thin, does it sound thin?

The wiring is Yellow and Green connected to the capsule. Blue, Red and black to the XLR.

I've opened way to many dead 57's up to confirm this to be true.

This is good info for anyone who might buy one used.
