Welcome Your Music Home
We listen to music in motion on headphones and in our cars,
but found ourselves listening less often at home. We wanted
wireless home speakers that sounded great, were easy to use
and designed to blend with décor. So we designed Knit Audio
with warm gray woven fabric and rich wood grain finishes and
spent time tuning the acoustics to sound great in any room.
We love having music playing when we’re rushing around
getting ready in the morning, serenading us when we’re
washing clothes and doing dishes, accompanying us when
we’re cooking and eating and grooving when we’re hanging
out with family and friends playing board games, reading a
book or simply relaxing. Whatever we’re doing, music makes
us feel more at home.
Happy to Help
We know there are many speakers you had to choose
from. Thank you for choosing Knit Audio. If you have
any questions or need help, we’re here to help:
