Here's a schematic that displays the assembly of your mics. You should only need a hex tool, jewelers screwdriver, and some patience.

I have the same prob with mine. I opened it and found that a little plastic thingy was loose UNDER the diaphram! I can't see any way, short of replacing the capsule, of fixing it. The mic works, sort of. It depends on the position you hold it. Not reliably!

I'm bummed.

Odds are the problem is the foam that usually surrounds the capsules in these mics. eventually it dries out and decays. you can replace it yourself (see the previous message concerning disassembly) with open-cell foam, or you can have an electro voice service repair center do it. i can't recommend one in oz; in the US, location sound in north hollywood does it, relatively inexpensively (~$50).

I recently heard that the EV-757 was the best mic ever made for vocals. What compares to it or even surpasses it in the new line of EV mics? Also, are the new ones American made like the old ones?

Don't know if I'd go that far. Microphones (like other gear) has specific design characteristics. The EV757 is a great mic and is best suited for female vocals (or Art Garfunkle). I paid $190 in the early 90's ($390 retail). I like dynamic mics for their ruggedness and no ned for phantom power. A condenser mic like a Neumann U87 cost $3,000 but faithfully reproduces. "Best" can only be used in conjunctioon with "for a particular purpose"

EV re-27 to a laptop what electrical connections?

Excellent microphone! There are a number of inexpensive XLR microphone to USB adapters now on the market. Two good ones are Blue's Icicle ($60 street) and Shure's X2u ($99 street) from vendors like Amazon and Zzounds. They operate with most audio software right out of the box.

I have two ev co9 mics, neither of them seem to work, where should I start???

These are fairly decent microphones.......I would suspect the cable might be bad. If the mikes are actually not working your best bet would probably be to replace them with a Shure SM 58. The Shures are the industry standard, and the EV co9's are Electro-Voices competition to Shure. If price is an issue, try the Samson R11. You can get three for $69, oppossed to around $100 for one SM58

SR71

I am not sure about this model of mic but it could be as easy as twisting off the bottom. There could also be a screw near the XLR jack that has to be removed, or tightened. Some mics have the XLR jack glued in pretty tightly. I am giving you suggestions based on other mics, I haven't touched a SR71. Hope that helps! Baze
