Creating a Stellar Kit from a Sound Capsule

From firmware version 2026.02.07, the Sound Capsule can disconnect individual Stellar Mics. This makes it possible to use the mics in pairs of two and create a portable Stellar Kit without the need to bring rest of the Sound Capsule with you.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the full process - from disconnecting Stellar Mics from the Sound Capsule, to setting them up as a Stellar Kit. When you’re done, the mics can easily be re-docked and reconnected to the Sound Capsule, restoring the familiar 4-mic setup. You can repeat this process as often as you like, making it ideal for lightweight, two-mic recording sessions.

Important: To update the Sound Capsule firmware, all four Stellar Mics must be docked and connected to the Space Recorder.

Note: Before you start experimenting with moving Stellar Mics in and out of the Sound Capsule kit and over to a Stellar Kit it's important to note that the LED colors of each mic may change. Don't worry - once you connect them back to the Sound Capsule you will end up with 4 different colored Stellar Mics again.

Pro tip: Stellar Mics will fall asleep when the app is closed. You can tap on the Stellar Mics with your fingers to wake them up. Check out the Stellar Kit manual for further instructions. 

Part 3 - Reconnecting Stellar Mics

To reconnect the Stellar Mics to the Sound Capsule:
  • Ensure the Studio App does not have an active connection to the Stellar Mics by exiting the kit (as shown below) or by force quitting the app.

  • Place all 4 Stellar Mics and the Space Recorder back in the Sound Capsule Charging Case, and wait for 5-10 seconds

Important! If the Stellar Mics are not registering properly, ensure that the app is properly closed, and repeat the process.

  • On the pop-up screen Unlinked Stellar Mic detected, press the Up Arrow button to link and replace, and on the following screen press the Up Arrow button once more to confirm link and replace.

  • Verify all Stellar Mic's are ready to record from the Space Recorder screen by undocking and docking Stellar Mics and checking that the display updates accordingly. 

How to correctly identify docking status: Undock and dock the Stellar Mic's a few times to check that they change position on the Space Recorder display. See the photo below:

  1. Undocked Stellar Mic's will be placed above the Charging Case in the list and will have a grey background as well as a wireless signal-strength icon next to the battery level.
  2. When the Space Recorder is not in the Charging Case, or whenever the Charging Case has ran out of battery completely, there will be no battery information shown on the Space Recorder display.
  3. Docked Stellar Mics will be at the bottom of the list, beneath the Charging Case, and will be shown as either charging or fully charged. There will be no wireless signal-strength icon shown on docked Stellar Mic's.
