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.

Aux audio input
Using the Aux audio input
With the Swing in FM mode, press the Mode button (8) to enable aux mode. Connect one end of an aux
cable (not supplied) into the aux port (14) on the Swing and insert the other end into the headphone
socket on your device. Sound will now be heard through the Swing. Whilst in aux mode, you can:
1. Press the Volume– (9) or Volume+ button (12) to decrease or increase the volume
2. Use sleep mode (same setup as in FM mode)
Note: Volume is controlled on both your device and the Swing. Track control functions can only be done
on the device.
PLEASE NOTE:
Your device will have an internal amplifier and if it is playing digital files like MP3s it will also have an
integrated DAC (Digital Audio Converter). If you turn up the volume to 100%, your device will be sending
distorted signals to the Swing. To avoid this and to get the best sound quality from the speaker, we
recommend that you do not run your device any higher than 95% volume.
