Introduction
This guide demonstrates how to replace a Ring Outdoor Security Cam microphone. Like many microphones, a common issue with the Ring Camera's microphone is it can become damaged, resulting in poor audio quality over time. This fix has no safety hazards, and the difficulty level is difficult due to sodering. The main procedure is to open up the camera and take off layer by layer until getting to the microphone. From there you will detach the microphone from the board and solder on the new microphone.
