Is the mic in good physical condition?
Check there are no cuts in the lead or damage to the frame. Check the connector is not loose or damaged.
Is it a brand-new microphone you have just received?
Confirm that the connector has been wired to suit your specific model of transmitter. This should be written on your invoice. If not, contact the agent you purchased it from for confirmation.
