I scored an old beta 58 but the 3 pin connector was missing. i bought
another one but i don't know which wires to connect where. plus there
are only two wires, is that right? I'm a bit of a noob but I like to
try things myself :)
Benimur, you are correct, except that the Beta 58 is a condenser mic that required phantom power. In that case all 3 lines are used. Included below are the connections.
This is not true. All of the Microphones in Shure's SM series are dynamic microphones and do not require phantom power.This is not true. All of the Microphones in Shure's SM series are dynamic microphones and do not require phantom power.

XLR cables are a balanced connection. You should never send signal down the ground conductor.
NOTHING should be shorted.Close, but no cigar.

First i would check the cable. If cable seems good I would buy some contact cleaner and try cleaning the xlr pins on the bottom of the mic. Last i would take the set screw out of the side of the mic and carefully remove the xlr assembly. There are 2 wires connected to that and not a whole lot of slack so be careful. Basically make sure they are still soldered on.
there is a small screw in the side of the xlr connector and a small hole in the body of the mic.put everything together until you see the screw thru the small hole.tighten the screw clockwise and the job done!

I'm not positive that this is correct as the internal connection diagram isn't included in the manual but Blk= pin1, Blu= pin2, Red= pin3. Hope thats right. Shure gas lots of info on their website www.shure.com
Headset connection: Blue wire to Pin 2, White wire to Pin 1, Yellow wire to Pin 3. Connect Pins 1 & 2.
Microphone connection: Black wire to Pin 3. Red wire to Pin 2. Ground wire to Pin 1.
I am using a male/female 7-pin XLR connector assembly to black box. I am using two 3-pin XLR connectors, one for SM2 microphone function, one for SM2 headset function.
It could be the wiring in the 1/4" jack in your amp. Check the metal contact plates on the 1/4" jack in your amp and see if they are getting contact to the jack. Sometime they get bent.
If the XLR end of the cable can be serviced, check the ground connection to the cable and see if its good.
