Bro, you are a life saver. Tried this and works like a charm. Thank you.

[@mikemann6480]

This is the exact video i needed, thank you

[@michaelziegahn9610]

That was exactly what I needed!

[@Alpha-ro8sc]

This kind of stuff is great! You did it one handed as well.

[@user-jg6yh2kl5l]

Exactly what I needed! Thanks

[@rombsix]

Excellent work :)

[@jlepre752]

WOW! You saved me a lot of grief with this quick fix. I would like to add one more step. Before trying to push the jack into the mic housing, connect it to a mic cable. That way you push it in until it clicks and it lines up perfectly.

[@joeldomantay9435]

awesome! thank you so much! I was able to fix my Beta 87A which did the same exact thing! super helpful!

[@Hi-Tech-Ray]

that screw looks like a clamping screw which it clamps the metal plate of the XLR plug . Also Hello to @Howie Darkstar!

[@briansredd]

It kinda looks like a rivet

[@flyrobin2544]

Nice to know about the set screw vs a regular screw. If you didn't know it you could possibly break the male plug. 👍

[@johnplightning]

The video sure (or is that Shure) helped me... THANKS!

[@johnnymiller3684]

One of my Beta58 mics did the same darn thing! ... Now I have to go find it and fix it. Lol

[@prodsk8miles]

i fckng love bro , wow my Shure sm7b which did the same exact problem, thanks

[@Guitargreat]

Helped me

[@howiedarkstar]

Nice job. Yeah you most likely wouldn't find a screw if it was missing at a big box store. They are reverse threads.

[@briansredd]

It would be tough to loose the screw. First, it would have to thread all the way in. Then, the male XLR would have to come out and THEN somehow thread all the way out. Kinda learned as I went on this one

[@flavioharder]

What if the XLR plug is rotated inside the microphone, so I can't remove it to screw it back in?

[@flavioharder]

I mean, the plug is misaligned and stuck.

[@MrDJMikieMike]

Cool!!

[@Elniniss]

I think you have a fake shure microphone.

[@briansredd]

Which one? The Beta or the 58?

[@Elniniss]

@@briansredd the beta

[@briansredd]

@@Elniniss I wasn't aware of fakes, but I just read up & watched a few videos on them. I just have the one that I bought used probably close to 20 years ago (or maybe even longer ago). From what I can tell, if it is a fake, it's a pretty good one. The capsule's suspension is what every side by side shows the real ones do, so there's not all of that handling noise. What made you think it was fake? Do you know when fake ones started showing up on the market?

[@Elniniss]

@@briansredd I have no idea when they started showing up. It seemed odd the the connector would come loose since those microphones are really robust. Also when you showed them side by side the beta had an extra hole in between the set screw and xlr connector latch. Might be a design change since you bought it many years ago.

[@briansredd]

@@Elniniss Yeah that extra hole was on the older ones. I think it's real, but only Shure knows I guess
