Hey, Thanks alot.
Since my first post I tried using a different mic. I used a Sennheiser dynamic, cardioid vocal mic (I think it was a 431 or something like that, I have a few of them anyway) and the hum was virtually non existant. I could hold the mic anywhere I wanted, even right on top of the console and there was no hum. I tried making my own cables because I had some parts and I found some instructions online and they worked fine with the Sennheiser with no hum as well. That wiring structure you described with each conductor having a separate shield has ground loop written all over it.
Cheers!
