FAQ

HDMI

The Kiko is only available with HDMI 1.4 connections.

This product does NOT support ARC (Audio Return Channel), CEC or 4K

General operation

The Kiko is ONLY designed to work with supplied speakers. Do not try and change these speaker to another brand.
These speakers do not have a passive crossover, that is an onboard filter to separate the Bass drive unit audio from the treble drive unit audio from the incoming audio. With the Kiko this is performed digitally before feeding out to the speakers. Each speaker drive unit is fed independently from the Kiko to match the supplied speakers crossover points. These cannot be changed.
