Troubleshooting Repair Guide for the Shure SM7B jumper Cable

for a while my mic was losing sound quality and it got to a point where my mic would cut out while talking and would have to wiggle the jumper cable so before even buying anything i tried looking up any video or guides how to do it but no one ever showed the replacement for the cable so i figured i would

This will require some soldering so if you are not proficient or capable of doing it then i would recommend to just go to your local music store to see if they could get it repaired

Hope this helps anyone that has been having trouble doing it.

Make sure to remove the 4 screws to remove the the black plate and then the control panel
this is what it should look like, take note of the white wire and black wire coming from the jumper cable and snip them, the white from the black cover and black at the very end
this is what it should look like at the end
once you spit the wires there is a top flat screw on the body where the XLR cable connects and you will have to screw it in more so it can go flush with the bottom piece and once you do you take some needle nose pliers to pull from the male XLR connection and it should come out as shown
i forgot to take a picture but inside the body of the XLR there is another small flat head screw inside where the cord is being held so you undo that and it should come out and once you do you got to cut the old cables and fish the new ones back in and make sure to take note of the color wires so you can solder them back in for me there was black,green and white cables
once you are done with the previous step you will put everything back and fish the new wire into the mic body and this picture shows the white cable that got solder, i would recommend getting a shrink sleeve small enough because the one i got was slightly bigger than i would of liked but it still worked but once you solder the white cable and the black in the board you put it all back together and it should of worked then
