DM-452 Mic Wiring for Cobra 4 pin

[Robb]

For some reason, I cannot seem to find a diagram to wire this mic for a 4-pin Cobra radio.

It has five wires: shield, red, white, black, and blue.

Just thought someone might have the pinout for it.
Thanks

Here you go Robb. Hope this helps. Found the following for cobra 4 pin mic wiring for that mic with the wire colors you have.
Pins:
1. Black/Shield/-ground
2. White- mic
3. Red-TX
4. Blue-RX
Again, hope this helps. Have a good one.

Thanks!
Actually, turned out that pin 3 was RX and pin 4 was TX for this mic. But it got me close enough to figure it out. These mics have always been a little screwy.

Pins:
1. Black/Shield/-ground
2. White- mic
3. Blue-RX
4. Red-TX

Much appreciated!

Glad you got it working. Good mics for the money. A sleeper mic per say LOL! They do work well though!! Anyways, again, glad you got it figured out. Good deal

Addendum:

Today, I rewired yet another on of these mics. It has no black wire. The yellow wire takes the place of the black wire, so wire according to the above pinout knowing that.

These mics are a bit inconsistent in their wire colors/mic cables, but for the money, they seem to do all right. I've heard some claim that they are as good as a D-104/M6, but I cannot agree with that. But they are still a far sight better than a stock mic - IMO.
