First remove the Rubber inside the screwable mount area. This can easily be done with a small screw driver tip or Tweezers. From here you can remove the 3 screws using a #1 Phillips head.

Step 2 Removal of the exterior buttons

The 4 exterior buttons can be removed with any force such as fingers or any form of pliers. I used my fingers to remove and pull the buttons from their button placement. You will notice there is a lot of give from the mesh and the body.

On this step, you can easily and carefully pull the entire mic mechanism from the protective housing. On the bottom you will see where the Audio port and USB port are if you need to replace them.

If you look tward the mesh and the circuits you will see that it is held by 4x #0 Phillips screws. Carefully remove these and the entire cap will come from the board. There are 3 sets of wire, 1 per Mic receiver. You will notice that they are pointed sideways making this microphone a side receiver and not a face pointed one.

Step 5 The Mic receivers

As seen in the picture, this Microphone cap comes with a internal foam guard to protect the three internal speakers. These speakers are point outward to the side of the mic making this mic more useful from the side and not pointed at the users itself.
