Hello Martin,
I just found this cute STC 4021 which I’d love to use but is not working.
I understood you know it very well.. As nothing is coming out of it my first guess is some kind of bad soldering inside the mic but I can’t open the sphere for some reason.. I removed the 2 screws close to the connector but nothing is moving… Any advice ?
Also, can you confirm these are wired pos/neg/shield from left to right as the tech from Coles Acoustics told me. Nothing is happening with this wiring and since I saw 2/G/1 in some pics, I’m not sure anymore (there’s nothing marked on mine).
Thank you !!

Hi Bertrand, I think you may have the wiring wrong. I have updated my original post on this mic with a picture of the plug socket which I hope helps. https://martinmitchellsmicrophones.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/stc4021/
Check that out before taking it apart. However, if the correct wiring doesn’t work. Undoing the 2 screws hidden in the socket should enable you to split the 2 halves. Unless it is glued up with paint. Good Luck
