I went here...

And found this in the "write up" under the "MORE" tab.
And...This...
For Reference,
Here is your AT-6666 Mic PLUG wiring
The only error I can see in this is how you need to route Green and White from the PTT - in light of this transposition - I will have to leave that choice to you.
Why?
If you own a Grant XL or Cobra 148 that uses a 5-pin with Shield as Ground but uses a COMMON that uses GROUND (NOT EARTH but Battery Negative or FOIL BOARD Ground for Switching) then the two "Grounds" need to be kept separate with SHIELD taking priority - as in, that is the only true Ground present - the Common for Switching may be Grounded too, but that is reserved for SWITCHING and uses the RADIOS Ground for this reference to TX or RX - it's done at the Radio - not at the Mic.
For the AT Quad-6?
Now, if you plug this into the Radio and it immediately "keys up" - then Pin 3 and Pin 4 need to be investigated. For if Pin 3 is your actual "switch" - it would be OPEN to Pin 4 and to Pin 1.
What would this mean? It means PTT may be PIN 4 - which is wired (possibly in error) always grounded to Pin 1 ... So then that means Pin 3 and 4 are off - but which way? Well it would tell me the Pin 4 then would be your PTT and Pin 3 is there to GROUND it...

AT THE 8-PIN side...
Tie Pin 1 and Pin 4 as GROUND - which when you key the PTT at the MIC - should Ground Pin 3 to Pin 4 AND to Pin 1.

- This is the difficulty in understanding how Mic wiring and their needed connections are not always well thought out when it comes to the Owners Manual.

Thanks, this helps.
When you search for the Mic, a lot of those images in that article show up, but little if any "wiring setups". That I didn't see anywhere - had to make my own to even show.
