USER MANUAL

We are craftspeople. We are musicians. We are KitSound™
And we all commit ourselves to achieving one shared goal:
Bringing people closer to their music. By truly understanding
music we stay true to its craft. Pure, rich, incredible sound.
We’ll settle for nothing less.

At KS we believe your music deserves to be showcased on great
quality products that don’t cost the earth. We might not all share
the same taste in music (the ferocious disputes on music forums
prove that), but whether it’s Irish folk, death metal or any number
of obscure genres which seem to be multiplying by the minute, the
artists responsible for connecting with you through their craft have
bared their souls to do so. And we think that’s worth celebrating.

Like the musicians we’re honouring, we’re obsessed with our craft;
ne-tuning and tweaking our products to make sure we constantly
deliver full-bodied, symphonic sound. So from a single note played
on a piano, to the full impact of a bass guitar, you can rest assured
that you’ll always be doing justice to your music.

Playing music on your speaker
Bluetooth
If already connected to the speaker via Bluetooth, simply nd and play the music on your device and the sound will
play through the speaker. Some devices may require you to select the audio output. You should be able to do this by
going to the ‘Listen via’ or ‘Play via’ menu. If unsure, please refer to your device’s manual.
If you are using an A2DP Bluetooth-enabled device, you will be able to use the following functions on the speaker:
• Play/Pause (7) – short press
• Next track (4) – short press
• Previous track (3) – short press
• Volume– (5) – short press
• Volume+ (6) – short press

Auxiliary
Using the provided cable, you can connect your device directly to the speaker. To use this, simply:
−Plug the cable into the speaker’s Aux-in port (9) and your device
−The LED light indicator (2) will be a solid red once connected
−Press play on your device
• Volume– (5) – short press
• Volume+ (6) – short press
When playing music using the cable, you will not be able to use the Play/Pause, Next track and
Previous track functions.
Headphone Jack
You can connect headphones to you speaker. To do this, simply:
• Connect your speaker to your device using either Bluetooth or auxiliary
• Plug you headphone cable into the headphone port (8)
• Not compatible with CTIA cables
Please note: Your device will have an internal amplier and if it is playing digital les like MP3s it will also have an
integrated DAC (Digital Audio Converter). If you turn the volume up to 100%, your device will be sending a distorted
signal. To avoid this, and to get the best quality from the speaker, we recommend that you do not run your device
any higher than 95% volume. Some devices output higher than others, so you may need to reduce the volume if you
experience distortion.
Call Handling
While in Bluetooth mode you can make and take phone calls. You can use your device to answer/end/reject
the phone call or you can use your speaker.
• Answer – Short press Play/Pause (7)
• End – Short press Play/Pause (7)
• Reject – Long Press (3 seconds) Play/Pause (7)
Note: You can still take calls while in Auxiliary mode. However this will automatically turn your smartphone
to loud speaker mode – you won’t be able to control the call from the speaker.
