Forkbeard™

Ditch your collection of Schiit remotes and get complete control—and much more—on your phone or tablet. Welcome to Forkbeard™, the only multi-product, multi-stack unified control system!

Forkbeard sets the standard for ease of use. There’s no pairing and no account creation. Just download the app and add your Forkbeard-enabled Schiit products to one or more “stacks.” Then, you’re ready to use the simple, dynamically adaptable interface for complete control.

But that’s just the start. Have a “office stack” and a “main listening stack?” No problem! Forkbeard is the only system that lets you create and control multiple systems on the same app.

Or, would you like to know how your system is running? Forkbeard also provides system health information, including temperature, current, triggered protection, tube heater integrity, and more.

Mind blown? Consider two other things:

Forkbeard is also completely modular and optional. All Forkbeard-enabled products use a single standard external module that plugs into a unique, keyed slot. Don’t want Forkbeard? Cool, save $50. Or get a module to add it later, also for $50.  

Forkbeard launches on 8 Schiit products to start. This large number of Forkbeard-enabled gives you lots of options. You can start with Saga 2 and Vidar 2F, or go all the way up to Gungnir 2, Freya+ F, and Wotan (the giga-stack, hilariously still less than many single high-end audio products at under $5k).

Oh yeah, and those "advanced and extended" features you may have noticed on the diagram? Well, those start with Visual Volume™, an exclusive way to see how much headroom you have left on the volume knob...in real time, based on your exact system. And there are more to come. Best of all, they'll always be given to you at no additional cost. No one-time fees, no monthly vig. 

Want total control? Want system health visibility? Want unique functionality that nobody else offers? Then welcome to Forkbeard. Welcome to the new world.

Forkbeard is patent-pending.
