We're listening everywhere and anywhere, while paying less attention to how we do so. Whether experiencing audio through the VOLUME CONTROL

sound. INPUT MODE
For many years I dreamt of a sound system that would evoke one of the iconic designs associated with our musical heritage, OPERATING THE REMOTE CONTROL
such as the elegant phonograph or the glossy jukebox, while complementing virtually any interior. At the heart of this design

would be a sound system powerful enough to do justice to every kind of music (including mine!) at any volume, combining a
strong, clear bass with superb definition in the higher frequencies. FIRST HELP BEFORE ASSISTANCE
I hope the AeroSkull HD® gives you as much listening pleasure in your home as it gives me in mine. APPENDIX IV - FIRMWARE UPGRADE
