To wear a tinfoil hat for a moment: > The SOC (system on chip) controller seems to be connected to the flip flop resets > The 'mute' button appears to be very real and functional. When the button glows 'red' the power is removed from the microphones. Does the microphone take any time to boot up? How far could a malicious SoC get by toggling "reset" on and off very fast? If you toggle the microphone on and off at 96kHz with e.g. a 1% duty cycle, then you'd be able to sample the level from the microphone at 96kHz, and the LED would still be glowing at 99% of its usual current (which would be visually indistinguishable from 100%). This would allow the SoC to record audio at full quality, and still leave the LED glowing.
