Then connect the screen to 1 and the inner to pin 3.

At the other end, link pins 1 and 2 again.

This will work perfectly.

IGNORE the other posts that say differently as they are from congenital
morons.

So, basically I would be shorting one of the signal lines to earth and
using just the second one. That's logical.

Seems my question wasn't quite as straightforward as I imagined. Any other
thoughts before I pick up the soldering iron?


Ideally you should use shielded twisted pair, but unless your pre-amp
supplies phantom power (which your dynamic mic doesn't need) and which
cannot be switched off (unlikely) then wiring the mic unbalanced as Phil
suggested should work fine. OTOH the other suggestions should work fine as
well, you pays your money and you takes your choice.
