Thanks man. I want to re-terminate some B6 mics and I thought it would be impossible to do myself at home, but you've given me the confidence to give it a try. Cheers!
Thanks for the instructions. I'm currently running a theatrical show with 20 mic-ed actors, and one particular actress's countryman suddenly began clipping non-stop. Wasn't sure if it was a sweat problem or a connection issue, but this makes me pretty confident it's a broken wire. Hoping this works, I'll have to try it tomorrow. The tiny wires were very intimidating to me, so this video puts me at ease.
***** It was definitely popping, the console was just registering it as clipping. Thanks for the pointers! I'm hoping to begin my repairs this upcoming week, I didn't have a soldering gun with a small enough tip to get to it sooner.
Dennis Hrbek they are called automatic wire strippers. www.google.com/search?q=automatic+wire+strippers&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj_3tfj46ngAhVoQt8KHTxqCMoQ_AUoAnoECBEQAg&biw=320&bih=438#imgrc=tfmN-J1zKZSN5M
Very help full video,but what if the broken wire is on the other end, like on the microphone side would that be possible to fix some how, without having to order any parts for it?Good day!
+Liette Chapdelaine if it’s on the microphone itself then there’s no repair for that. A break there is typically from mishandling of the microphone from either the user or person storing the mic. You will need to purchase a new microphone. Thanks for watching
+Liette Chapdelaine got ya! Yea I’ve never tried to work on that end, might be possible but never tried it. I think I remember looking at it once and thought it was epoxied in place. Replacement cables are typically $60 and this may be your only way out. Contact Paul Allen at Sweetwater and tell him I sent you.
Don't wanna post my email address on the comments, even if it's my alternate one. You can post a link to the picture from another site like maybe Pinterest, shutterfly or photobucket.
This is exactly the video I needed, thank you so much for putting it together!

Good job. These things go all the time!
Much easier desoldering if you simply cut the wires first. You’ll be trimming them back anyway.
Good tip! Noted info... Thanks
thanks for your video i am hoping to repair a few mics we use for elementary performances that are showing signs like these.
This video is playing anymore, anyway to fix it?? I need to repair a countryman cable. Thanks!
Thank's alot Rick!!! You saved me from bying a new cable.
What are the wire strippers that you are using? Im at redco audio right now and they've never seen anything like it

P.S. Your wire strippers look like they make a hard job easy too

Hi which wire is positive? white or the bear wire? Thx
Thanks
Thank you!
Great job! Thanks. Now...how about repairs at the connector? Is that possible?

Our E6i countryman broke close to it’s plug but at the end of the microphone itself. How would you repair it?

Rick Perry Actually, it’s close to the end under the transparent shield.
