XLR cabel?

[WahabA]

Recently i bought a mixer & microphone combo, the microphone should be "amazing" but it sounds quite terrible.. I just want to know if its because im putting the mixer settings incorrectly?

I recently pulled out the xlr to check it and it looked like this..

U can see the middle pin, the one to the bottom is quite pushed in.. Is that normal?

It looks bent... might not be contacting the plug correctly.

Right? But is it supposed to be pushed so far in tho? Like compared to the two other pins?

Also when it has been connected?..

I might aswell just buy a new one then i guess, i really need to fix the noise on it

Don't know why it got pushed in tho its weird

Bought it on a danish webshop, but i doubt it. It was my fault, might have been to excited and pushed it in too hard, my biggest worry is that the xlr input on the mixer is damaged now ;/

Ports are more durable than pins they should be fine

Update! Bought a xlr cable with 1 day delivery

I am simply just a fucktard.

Just like a motherboard & cpu has this "triangle" So u can match them up, the xlr input & cable has this little "cut" i never realized this, so i had just pushed my old cable in.. The audio is so FUCKING clean now that i did it correctly

You guys are the best! Thx
