The output level of the mic may be -50 dB or what is known as mic level. You will need to use the mic input on your console, or amplifier (whatever you are feeding the mic to).
Some mics are at line level because they have a built in pre-amp. Then you must use the line level input on your equipment that the mic is feeding.
If the mic is defective, there are 4 basic elements in a powered mic.
1) The mic diaphram unit, or pickup
2) The processor amplifier module
3) The power switch
4) The rear connector
Some mics have a matching transformer on the output section before the connector.
If you have a DVM and a knowledge of basic electronics, you can check for voltages and resistances to make sure all the connections are okay, and that there is power to the amplifier module. To check the diaphram and the signal path you will need an oscillocsope.
Normaly, a consumer quality mic is not supported for service. If you have a professional Sure, or Sony, or equivelent mic, it would be recomended to send it for factory service if it is not working. Even though they are simple in theory, they can be sort of complicated to service.
