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;
fine-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.
