Not sure that any will stand a chance against a real 575...but the current production mics are flowing in 
That's interesting. They must have changed that after any of my mics were manufactured.
Just took my D104M6B apart "again ".... Here is a picture.......
Seems to be well soldered.
Here are 3 of my 575's for comparison. I have more, but I see no reason to dig for them.
Mic #1. This is an older one. (I wish that they had kept this much more robust design)
Mic #2. I was wrong....only one pin secures the case to the board.
This is microphone #3 that I have used for years on an HR2510 and then on my 2950DX. Same thing...only one pin securing the case to the board.
In this pic you can clearly see one of the case pins hovering above the board.

I guess were comparing 575 switches to D104s...not sure we were all on board with the comparison here?
Regardless, excellent photos. Thanks for taking the time to document.
I like to looks of the older switch. Would love to have one with channel buttons as well!

I have a 636 on my 5555 and have been thinking about putting the channel buttons on it. The stock mic was so handy in that way. When the switch on my m6b was goofing up on my 980, the channel was changing too so I think the 980 has this capability too.
I like the sound of a 636, and it seems decently constructed, but it always seems the output is low?
That would be very cool to add channel buttons on a 980!!

Yes the 636 is a noise cancelling mic, but the 5555 has enough mic gain in the menu to run any mic. I only had to turn it up a little to get the 636 to modulate correctly. I also run one on my Stryker 440 but it has a lot of mic gain too.
Good to know it pairs well with your 5555 and Stryker. Ran well for me on a Connex as well, but not so much on other rigs.
Hope to record some mic comparisons soon...I’ll include one.

I just wonder why no one has made a good reproduction of the 575M6. I know hundreds that would buy one. People are buying the originals now for 250+.
Because MFG know there is no market for it. Selling hundreds of a product is not enough sales to warrant design, manufacture and distributions. All they are doing now is taking older designs and cut production costs to the bare min and hence the bad quality out today.
I have to wonder then from all of this, is the only downside to the 575 the switch? Is the sound quality and everything else the same as the old style?
