Are you saying that you connected 2 wires to pin 1? There normally
should only be one wire to pin 1, and that is the AF line which should
connect the other end direct to the + side of the electret element. The
other side of the electret element must connect to ground (pin 7 or pin 8).
Turn bias ON in the FP mic menu and likely with an electret, you can use
the L setting. In other words, the MIC SEL menu parameter should be
FP.L bIAS.

I tried a RS electret element I have here and the audio is distorted and weak
- do I have a bad element or am I doing something wrong? I wired the
element directly to the mic wires bypassing the transformer in the mic with
no cap or resistor. The red wire and audio to pin 1 and the ground to pin
7. Guess I'm clueless when it comes to electret mics!
