And if you happen to have the connector(s) that do not have a dedicated ground terminal, then connect the shield and white wire to pin #1, at the radio end of the cable and leave the shield floating or not connected at the mike end.

Oh but it is. There is pin #1, pin #2 and pin #3 plus a ground terminal. The cable between the mike and radio should be 3 conductor shielded. Thus - Red, Black, White and shield. And the shield should be connected at one end only, preferably the signal receiving end or mike connector at the radio. That way, there is no current flowing on the shield.

Make sure your mic wire's shield is properly grounded (both ends) - remember, XLR was not designed for RF use.
