Sounds  to me like you might have a desk top mike used for mobile radio.  I  
wonder if it has a push-to-talk switch wired into the mike stand to key  the 
transmitter since you have five wires.

Bob:
 
The Shure 450 is a general purpose desk-top microphone for paging  
applications. The audio quality is not all that bad for its intended purpose. I  would 
not use it as a broadcast quality microphone.
 
We used them over the years in plant pa paging applications and the earlier  
Bogen School Intercom installations.
 
What is your application?
