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.

Other information
Your device will have an internal
amplifier and if it is playing digital files
like MP3’s it will also have an integrated
DAC (Digital Audio Converter). If you turn
the volume up to 100%, your device will
be sending a distorted signal. To avoid
this and get the best quality from the
speaker, we recommend you do not run
your device any higher than 95% volume.
Some devices output higher than others
so you may need to reduce the volume if
you experience distortion.
Buddy pairing
If you have more than one Mini Buddy
speaker, you can pair them together
for greater sound. To do this:
• Connect the 3.5 mm cable from one
Mini Buddy speaker to the 3.5 mm
socket on another Mini Buddy speaker.
This can be repeated as many times
as you like
• Connect the remaining 3.5 mm cable to
your device to play your music/video’s
through all connected Mini Buddies
