Looks to be a dynamic mic and might follow the standard DIN plug
wiring for balanced dynamics.
Perhaps someone knows this by heart. Thus is the only lead I could get:

9104012&m=3D742105392&r=3D742105392
As its dynamic mic, there's no real risk of testing the leads if you
1. _turn off the phantom supply of the mic input on your recorder_
2, turn down it pre mic gain to 2 or 3
3. plug in an xlr cable with prewired "pigtails that are safely separated
4. Monitor what you are doing with eadphones and
5. try not to don't short out the inputs to ground
Clip off the DIN plug, expose the leads and briefly test them on the
pigtails connected to the XLR connector plugged into your recorder.
We know what the XLR looks for: XLR pin #1 =3D braided shield, XLR 2=3D
High (often white or red) and XLR3 =3D low (often black or other darker
color).
