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.

Instructions for use
Firstly, you will need to plug the Slam into the mains using the supplied power adaptor. Make sure the
mains plug is connected to the DC 5 V input (7)
Alternatively, the Slam can be powered by 3 x C size batteries. Slide open the battery door and insert
the batteries, observing the correct polarity, then re-fit the battery door
Please make sure the DC/BATT switch (11) is in the correct position depending on whether you wish
to use mains or battery power
When you have finished using the Slam in battery mode, ensure you slide the switch to DC power,
otherwise the batteries will drain when not in use
Note: Please use only non-rechargeable C size batteries. Rechargeable C size batteries may not provide
a high enough voltage to power the Slam. Also, they cannot be recharged by the Slam.

Charging
Charging a device

on the Slam
Note: The USB output is not suitable for use with any device that requires more than 1 amp to charge

Aux audio input
Using the aux audio input
1. Plug one end of an aux cable (not included) into the aux input on the Slam

or other audio source

source is connected.
Note: The play/pause function on the Slam will not operate in aux mode.
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 Slam. 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.
