Setting up your Sound Capsule

Setting up your Sound Capsule: A step-by-step guide

Congratulations on your new Sound Capsule purchase!

While this guide is here to help, your Sound Capsule and its Companion App have been designed to guide you seamlessly through the entire setup. This guide however, is a handy reference for those who appreciate a bird's eye view of the entire process.

Step 1:

Unveiling Your Sound Capsule.

What if my Sound Capsule doesn't power on?
No worries! Just charge it using a suitable power adaptor for a few hours. If it still does not power on then please head over to our charging guide or video demonstration for further tips and tricks on charging. 

How to I turn it off again later?

There is no on/off buttons on your Sound Capsule.

  • Simply lifting the lid off will wake it up.
  • Put the lid back on, and the Sound Capsule will switch to a power-saving sleep mode.

Step 2:
