Charging & Battery
LED Indicator Guide
Battery Basics
Up to 24 hours of playtime on a single charge (varies with volume and content). A full charge from empty takes about 4 hours over USB-C. We recommend fully charging Kontrol before its very first use to help the battery perform its best long-term.
Pair Two Speakers for Stereo Sound (TWS)
Own two Kontrol speakers? Pair them together and one plays the left channel while the other plays the right, for true stereo sound. Once connected, each speaker's LED indicator glows steadily to confirm the link. Only the left-channel speaker handles calls while in this mode.
Micro SD Card & Aux-In
No phone handy? Insert a Micro SD card (not included, up to 64GB, WAV / FLAC / APE / MP3 supported) or plug in any device with a standard 3.5mm aux cable, and Kontrol automatically switches to that audio source. To go back to Bluetooth, just reconnect from your phone's Bluetooth settings.
