Einleitung

If you are having trouble with your microphone receiving power or any function whatsoever, it could be a problem with your I/O board. This is a fairly easy fix, however; all you have to do is replace it. Follow this straightforward guide to access your microphone’s I/O board with ease. While some cables unplug easily, some will need to be removed from the board entirely. Keep in mind that this guide will not cover how to resolder any disconnected cables.

Werkzeuge

Phillips #0 Screwdriver

Schritt 1

Set the microphone on a flat surface.
Pull each of the support bands upwards and off of the notches to release the microphone from its base.
There are four support bands in total, but it does not matter which band you choose to take off first.

Schritt 2

Orientate the microphone with the gain control knob upwards.
Pull outwards from the microphone to release the gain control knob.
It will not take much force to release the knob from the microphone. Be aware that a small "pop" may be heard once the knob is unplugged.

Schritt 3

Remove the gain control knob.
The gain control knob connects to the tiny black pin indicated. When reattaching the knob, make sure to properly align the hole to the shape of the pin.

Schritt 4

Remove the three 6 mm Phillips #0 screws.

Schritt 5

Begin to pull out the I/O board.
Unplug any cables connected to the I/O board.
Some of the cables will need to be soldered back to any replacement I/O board to function properly.
