• Important notes:

  The installation versions of our master keyboards PK88/LMK2+/LMK4+ without housing are so-called OEM products! These products may only be installed by specialists who are experienced in handling sensitive mechanical and electronic components and who have the necessary tools for commissioning and, if necessary, troubleshooting. We expressly point out that incorrect handling of the components can lead to serious damage that is not covered by the device warranty.
  A return or warranty repair of defective components is only possible if they are in their original condition. Components that have been soldered to by the customer or that have been mechanically processed/modified are excluded from return or warranty repair.
  When returning the keyboard, it is mandatory to use the special packaging (product packaging + additional padded transport packaging), otherwise there is a high probability of transport damage that is not covered by the device warranty.
  We strongly recommend reading the following technical documents before purchasing the built-in version of the PK88/LMK2+/LMK4+.
