Hi David,

I have just taken delivery of a Honer HB52 harp blaster mic and I cannot get it to work. I have a "Live Wire professional OFC low noise microphone cable from the mic into the amp and there's not a sound. I have tried my Shure SM58 singing mic and it makes a sound but is not loud like the green bullet. Am I correct in thinking that it is not the correct cable or is it likely that the mic is faulty?

Many thanks

Saul
