What is the pickup pattern for the NZXT Capsule?
The Capsule utilizes a Cardioid pickup pattern which places an emphasis on audio coming directly from the front of the mic. This pickup pattern was chosen with gaming and streaming in mind to help not only put a focus on your voice but minimize background noise from your keyboard, mouse clicks, or any other noise that may be coming from behind the mic.
Does the NZXT Capsule support any other pickup patterns?
The Capsule only supports the Cardioid pickup pattern and does not support switching to other pickup patterns.

Can I disable the light on the NZXT Capsule?

What is the Sample Rate of the NZXT Capsule?
The Capsule has support for two sample rate modes:
- 24-bit, 96000 Hz
- 24-bit 48000 Hz
While using Comm or VoIP software such as Discord, it is recommended to use the 24-bit 48000 Hz mode as these programs may not support the higher bit-rate 96000 Hz mode.
Why does the dial for adjusting the gain or volume on the NZXT Capsule not have a stopping point?
This is an intentional design choice, as this gives a wider range of adjustment rather than what would be found with a finite dial.
