E: How to Clean the Microphone Openings

Make sure that the microphone openings are not 

clogged by dust or dirt. Carefully brush away visible 

signs of debris from the openings. Brush only on the 

surface and make sure the hairs of the brush are not 

pressed into the openings. Be careful not to push 

debris into the microphone openings, as this can affect 

the performance of the instrument.
