Step 1

Remove the old adhesive

⌕

Use tweezers or your fingers to remove the old adhesive from the bottom of the frame.
If there's adhesive residue on the frame, use high concentration isopropyl alcohol (greater than 90%) and a coffee filter or lint-free cloth to clean it.

Step 2

Remove the white liner

⌕

If your microphone comes with adhesive installed, skip the next two steps.
While holding the microphone adhesive with one hand, use your fingers or a pair of tweezers to remove the white liner from the adhesive.

Step 3

Apply the adhesive to the microphone

⌕

Hold the microphone so the metal side is facing up.
Apply the adhesive to the microphone with the pull tab pointing up.

Step 4

Repair step

⌕

Remove the blue liner from the microphone adhesive.

Step 5

Install the microphone

⌕

Insert the microphone at a downward angle so the adhesive adheres firmly to the frame around the sound channel.
Press the microphone firmly into place.

Step 6

Install the microphone screws

⌕

Use a tri-point Y000 driver to install the 1.3 mm screw securing the grounding clip and microphone.
Use a Phillips #000 driver to install the 1.3 mm screw securing the bottom right of the microphone.
Use a standoff driver to install the two 3 mm standoff screws securing top of the microphone.
If you don't have a standoff driver, you may use a thin flathead driver—but be careful not to strip the shallow notches in the screw heads.

Step 7

Connect the microphone

⌕

Use the flat end of a spudger or your finger to connect the microphone press connector.
