Gizzmo KMon: Professional tuner Knock Monitor Kit - $649.00
New Lower Price, the absolute best knock monitoring system on the
planet, $749.00
The Gizzmo KMon professional knock monitoring kit takes tuning to the next level. The KMon was designed with leading tuners for tuners with endless hours of dyno development as a major component in the research and development process.
Simply put: There is nothing else on the market like the Gizzmo KMon
Each headphone can be independently configured with the included
Gizzmo KMon software to listen to different knock sensors
simultaneously; e.g. on a RB26DETT you could configure the left
headphone to the front of the motor and
the right headphone to the
sensor on the rear of the motor or on the Z07 Corvette, one sensor could be used for the right bank and another for the left bank.
"THERE ARE MANY GREMLINS that can plague an engine and its performance. Detonation is perhaps one of the most notorious and dangerous of these gremlins. Eliminating detonation from a tune is now easier than ever before. With the Gizzmo K-MON in place, detonation can be easily located and dealt with properly.... "

There are two headphone jacks for the convenience of training a tuner or a second set of ears when tuning. The knock sensors used for the Gizzmo Kmon are the Bosch donut type that allow a 10mm threaded bolt through the center for easy mounting. The software allows you to tailor the knock channels individually to the motor in addition to setting up the headphones as you desire.
It is also possible to set the headphones up so that they are silent until a warning threshold is reached e.g. you can set a warning level of 60% and if this threshold is exceeded the headphones will emit a loud, sharp buzz.
"This is by FAR the best tuning tool I have encountered to date especially @ $1100, after starting out with snap on chassis ears years ago for all my V8 carb jobiies. I have been searching for the ultimate KNOCK detection device for years and a decent detector can sometimes mean the differrence between life and death of an engine especially if a 1/3rd party fault occurs during a tuning or power run. The only other knock monitors worth a pinch of salt is the HKS one but it requires extensive modding to be truly effective and useful and the knock-box but quite simply i have never really liked using it and the K-mon seems to be far more easy to use and better at detecting knock."
After the software has been configured you can shut down the software and just plug in the Gizzmo Kmon (to a USB2 port)
whenever you need it; the Gizzmo Kmon will always just return to your settings each time it is plugged in.

The Kmon also has two analog outputs so that you can log the knock levels into a dyno or datalogging tables for comparisons against air fuel ratio, turbo boost etc.
On the side of the Kmon are 4 LED’s; one indicates power, one flashes showing communications and 2 ultra bright LED’s illuminate if the knock threshold (previously explained) has been exceeded. Internally thing the Kmon is armed with 5 processors. 2 are 20mhz DSP processors (1 per knock channel), 2 are 48mhz RISC processors for number crunching, control and communications and the last processor
assures accurate timing alignment.
