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.

Instructions for use
Mains power

Battery power
To use battery power, you will need 4 x 1.5 V AA batteries (not included). Remove the battery cover (7) and
insert them observing the correct polarity. Then replace the battery cover.
