[Elecraft] mic wiring

[Bill Conkling]

Hello fans.

 

I'm sure this has been covered before, but humor me.

 

I am making a mic from a Radio Shack element, with two leads.  One for + and
one for -.  I have some nice mic cable, very flexible, and with two
conductors inside a shield.  I am planning to connect the + lead from the
mic to the pin 1 of the front panel connector, and the - lead to pin 7.
Should I connect the shield to pin 8?

 

Any thoughts, or errors?
