How to Hard Reset a Stellar Mic (Stellar Kit)

This guide explains how to perform a hard reset of one or both Stellar Mics using the Stellar Kit Charging Dock.

Important: Do not perform a hard reset during a recording or while the Studio App is gathering recording data from the Stellar Mics. Doing so will result in data loss.

What you need

  • One or two Stellar Mics

  • The Charging Dock

  • A Reset Pin

Tip: The reset pin is attached to the back of the Quick Start Guide included in your Stellar Kit. If you no longer have it, you can use a standard SIM-card ejector tool (from a phone or tablet), or any thin, rigid object that can press the small internal button.

Before you start

  • Make sure the Stellar Mic(s) are placed in the Charging Dock

  • The Charging Dock must be disconnected from power (no USB cable plugged in)

How to perform the hard reset

  1. Place the Stellar Mic(s) you want to reset into the Charging Dock.

  2. Turn the Charging Dock around so the rear side is facing you. Ensure that no USB cable is connected to the dock.

  3. Locate the small reset hole on the rear of the dock. It is positioned to the right of the USB port (see photo above).

  4. Insert the Reset Pin into the hole briefly, just long enough to press the internal switch once. Then remove the pin immediately.

  5. Insert the Reset Pin again, press the internal switch, and keep it pressed for approximately 15 seconds.

    • Maintain steady pressure the entire time.

    • Do not release early.

  6. Remove the Reset Pin and turn the Charging Dock back around.

  7. Check the LED lights on the Stellar Mic(s):

    • LEDs are off → the reset was successful

    • LEDs are still on → the reset failed; repeat the steps from the beginning

 

Powering the Stellar Mics back on

  • Connect a USB charger to the back of the Charging Dock while the Stellar Mic(s) are still docked.

  • Once power is applied, the Stellar Mic(s) will automatically wake up.

Note: After a hard reset, tap-to-wake will not work until the microphones have been powered on via the Charging Dock.
