Shure Sm81 Microphone Tear Down & Repair

In this video, the Dave repairs Shure SM81 microphones explaining the various components and their functions throughout the process. The engineer identifies mistakes made by a previous repair attempt, and successfully tests and repairs by replacing missing parts like the high pass filter knob and a friction ring to prevent unwanted movement. Additionally, he notes the importance of a proper screw replacement in alignment and identifying a 10 dB pad circuit that's responsible for reducing output. The host concludes the video by saying he will create more repair videos like this in the future.
