These are fairly decent microphones.......I would suspect the cable might be bad. If the mikes are actually not working your best bet would probably be to replace them with a Shure SM 58. The Shures are the industry standard, and the EV co9's are Electro-Voices competition to Shure. If price is an issue, try the Samson R11. You can get three for $69, oppossed to around $100 for one SM58
