Operation
Camera
Before using the camera, make sure you have selected Turret as a video capture device in your
computer and software. See Video Setup for more information.
To turn the camera on or off, press the Camera On/Off button. When the camera is on, the button
and camera LEDs will be lit blue. When the camera is off, the button and camera LEDs will not be lit.
LED Ring Light
To turn the LED Ring Light on, turn the Brightness knob to the right from its left-most position until
you hear a "click."
To adjust the Brightness of the LED Ring Light, turn the Brightness knob. Turn the knob to the
right to increase the brightness, or turn it to the left to decrease the brightness.
To turn the LED Ring Light off, turn the Brightness knob all the way to the left until you hear a
"click."
Filters
To attach a filter to the LED Ring Light, align the filter so the tab at the bottom of the filter is aligned
with the notch at the bottom of the LED Ring Light, and then snap it into place.
Note: Remove the plastic film from the lighting filter before use.
To remove the filter, use the tab to pop it out from the LED Ring Light.
Microphone
Before using the microphone, make sure you have selected Turret as your audio recording device in
your computer and software. See Audio Setup for more information.
Muting/Unmuting
To mute or unmute the microphone, press the Microphone On/Off button. When the microphone
is on (unmuted), the button and microphone LEDs will be lit blue. When the mic is off (muted), the
button LED will turn off, and the microphone LED will flash red.
Mic Sensitivity
To adjust the sensitivity of the microphone, use the Microphone Sensitivity switch on the bottom
of the microphone. Set this switch to 0 dB for normal operation. For situations where the sound input
is sufficiently loud enough that it may overdrive some part of the audio signal chain, set this switch to
-10 dB. This will reduce the overall microphone volume.
6
Pop Filter
A pop filter helps reduce the impact of "popping" sounds when speaking into the microphone and
helps protect the microphone diaphragm from the build-up of breath condensation and saliva.
For these reasons, it is recommended to leave the pop filter in place, but if you would like to remove
it, gently push the badge at the top of the screen until it pops out of the frame holding it in place. To
reattach the screen, snap it back into place inside the frame.
Headphones (Monitoring)
Before using the headphones, make sure you have selected Turret as your audio playback device in
your computer and software. See Audio Setup for more information.
Adjusting the Mix Knob
This knob is useful for dealing with "latency" when you are recording in your software. Latency is a
delay in sound that may occur between the incoming sound (from the microphone) and outgoing
sound (from your computer).
Latency is often the result of the "buffer size" setting, which is usually located in your software’s
Preferences, Options, or Device Setup menu. Higher buffer sizes generally result in higher latency. In
some cases, lower buffer size settings can consume a lot of your computer’s CPU and cause audio
glitches. To prevent these audio glitches, you will need to use a higher buffer setting, and this may
result in latency.
If you are experiencing latency when recording, adjust the knob towards the Mic position to increase
the blend of unprocessed audio from your microphone directly to your Headphone Output. This will
let you hear the incoming audio from the microphone without latency while still being able to hear the
audio from your computer. When listening to the playback, adjust the knob all the way to the PC
position.
If your computer is powerful enough, you may be able to set the buffer size setting in your software
low enough such that you may never need to listen to the direct audio signal from the microphone. In
this case, set the Mix knob all the way to the PC position to monitor only the audio output of your
computer.
Adjusting the Volume Knob
To adjust the headphone output volume, turn the Headphone Volume knob. Turn the knob to the
right to increase the volume, or turn the knob to the left to decrease the volume.
