MAIN CONTROLS
LED RING
The bottom ring of Capsule contains an LED to show various states of the device's features.
When lit in white = microphone is unmuted and record-enabled. The device will now pickup your voice and will playback the sounds from your PC.
When lit in red = microphone is muted. The device will not pickup your voice, but you will still be able to hear the sounds coming from your PC.
MICROPHONE GAIN
The microphone gain controls the sensitivity level of the microphone capsule. Turn clockwise to increase the input sensitivity and counterclockwise to decrease. Check the input levels on your recording/streaming software to make sure you are capturing your voice at a desired sensitivity level.

To mute the Microphone input, press the microphone gain knob. The LED ring at the bottom of Capsule the will change from white to red. To unmute, press the microphone gain knob again and the LED ring will change from red to white.
