Shure 545S Series 2 Repair

Greetings,

I have an older, used, "patent pending," Shure 545S Series 2 (pistol grip) microphone, and I'm gradually fixing it, having first reassembled the switch in the handle section.  I do get sound from the mic, but it is a little on the quiet, "hollow," and less low-frequency side.  I'm using it as high-impedance.

Help repairing these old microphones

Hi all, first post here, though I've lurked for quite a while now. I recently saved a handful of mics from the recycling bin, and need a wee bit of assistance with some of them.



Before I begin, I should mention that I am a semi-professional electronics repair tech and I do a lot of work on amps, synths, and recording gear, but not a lot of microphones.

hello.



i got some vocal tracks which are a bit distorted on the louder parts. mostly only slight distortion, sometimes a bit more.

it's no digital clipping. the engineer told me it's because the singer was too close to the mic, so it seems the preamp clipped.



is there a way to "repair" the tracks, cause redoing them is no option.
