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:
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.

avoid turning the volume all the way up on your audio device
when using Line-In.

FAQ’s
Q: Most Bluetooth pairing issues are a result of swapping
Bluetooth sources before terminating the current
connection. This sometimes causes the Timpani to remain
connected, or paired, to the previous audio device. That
said, the Bluetooth sync needs to be reset on your Timpani
speaker, as well as on your compatible Bluetooth device.
A: To disconnect Bluetooth connection on the KW101, press
and hold the BLUETOOTH PAIR button for 3 seconds. The
blue LED light on the top of the unit will flash, indicating that
the KW101 is searching for a compatible Bluetooth device.
Next you will want to go into the Bluetooth settings on
your compatible Bluetooth device and clear “Forget This
Device” from the list (and any other Bluetooth-enabled
device you may have previously paired with the KW101).
Now with the KW101 powered on, try searching for
Bluetooth compatible devices under the Bluetooth settings
menu of your Bluetooth-enabled device. After a few seconds
it should detect the “
Knit Timpani
”, at which time you can
select “
Knit Timpani
” and establish a new connection.
Q: If I hear distortion, what should I do?
A: Lower the volume on your Timpani speaker, and increase the
volume on your audio source.
Q: What if I hear Intermittent sound?
A: Move the audio source and the speaker closer together,
within 30’ of each other.
Q: I cannot play audio via Bluetooth.
A: Confirm your device is A2DP Bluetooth compatible.
Ensure that both your Bluetooth device and speaker
are not connected to any other devices.
Unpair speaker from your Bluetooth device (check with your
device manufacturer for more information about Bluetooth
pairing.) then re-pair following the steps in the section
BLUETOOTH PAIRING.
