About / Kilotone Audio
We build tools for listening.
Kilotone started in 2019 when two location recordists got tired of losing takes to a gain knob. Seven years later the whole company still fits on one floor — and still answers its own support email.
What we believe.
01
Headroom over features
We’d rather ship one thing that never clips than ten modes you never use.
02
Repair over replace
Every KT-4 is screwed, not glued. We stock parts for ten years after a model ends.
03
Quiet by default
No accounts, no tracking in the app, no subscription. The recorder works offline, forever.
In numbers.
