question
we are using shure MX418 microphones {4 mics} and when they work they start to do noise instead of amplify the voice. Is there some Batreys in them that need to be changed?
They have no batteries, my guess is that the connector is loose or the problem is elsewhere. This mic should give you at least 10 years of service. Usually this frequency response changes for the worse over time.
