On cheap karoke mics, they use Pin 1 (black) and 2 (red) with no transformer. Is this for max compatability with cheap XLR to 1/4 and 1/8 cables I assume?
Would swapping the capsule negative from shield (1) to pin as 2 as - (black) and leaving pin 3 (red), in the case of metal housing grounding 1 to the connector tab at the top -
Would this not balance the signal?
Both would transmit erronious phantom, but why do they default unbalanced? Any idea what they were thinking at these asian factories?

Also noteworthy, the $10 FETHEAD clone (inline preamp) was wired the same - unbalanced 1/2 as source. I ran an extra wire down the tube and bridged 1, and mod'd to 2/3 as well. WTF.
The first sentence of your opening post is not consistent with the title, and I don't understand the third sentence.
If the capsule is insulated from the case than:
You could connect the capsule to XLR pins 2 & 3 as a balanced input.
The case must be connected to XLR pin 1.
The phantom voltage supple must be turned off.
