Kanto YU4 (2nd Gen) 160W Powered Bookshelf Speakers with Phono Preamp and USB-C
The Kanto YU4 (2nd Gen) delivers clear, balanced sound while offering flexible connectivity in a compact powered speaker system. Re-engineered drivers, meanwhile, work with updated DSP tuning to improve clarity and deliver a more refined sound. Additionally, a redesigned Class-D amplifier provides 110 W RMS and 160 W peak power. Finally, versatile connections make switching between vinyl, streaming, movies, and gaming simple.
Refined Sound in a Compact Design
The Kanto YU4 (2nd Gen) delivers detailed highs and natural midrange while, importantly, keeping its speaker design compact. Meanwhile, 1-inch silk dome tweeters produce clear highs, while 4-inch abaca-reinforced woofers provide smooth, controlled bass. Additionally, its 60 Hz to 22 kHz frequency response supports balanced sound across music, movies, and everyday listening.
Custom DSP tuning works alongside the re-engineered drivers to improve clarity and bass extension. Meanwhile, the redesigned amplifier platform provides 30% more output power, helping the speakers deliver room-filling sound while remaining composed and natural at different listening levels.
110 W RMS with 160 W Peak Power
The Kanto YU4 (2nd Gen) delivers 110 W RMS while, importantly, reaching up to 160 W of peak power. Additionally, its Class-D amplifier provides the power needed for clear, room-filling sound. As a result, built-in amplification keeps your speaker setup straightforward without requiring a separate amplifier.
1-Inch Silk Dome Tweeters
The 1-inch silk dome tweeters deliver detailed highs while, importantly, maintaining a smooth and natural sound. Additionally, their responsive performance helps subtle details remain clear during everyday listening. As a result, high frequencies stay refined and enjoyable throughout longer listening sessions.
4-Inch Abaca-Reinforced Woofers
The 4-inch abaca-reinforced paper cone woofers handle natural midrange reproduction while producing smooth, controlled bass down to 60 Hz. Together with the silk dome tweeters, they help the Kanto YU4 (2nd Gen) maintain a balanced presentation across different types of content.
Bluetooth 5.3 for Easy Wireless Streaming
Want to start listening without reaching for another cable? Bluetooth 5.3 with SBC and AAC support lets you wirelessly stream from compatible devices. You can quickly move between wireless listening and your connected sources without building the entire system around one input.
USB-C Audio for Modern Sources
The Kanto YU4 (2nd Gen) supports USB-C audio playback up to 24-bit/96 kHz, therefore providing a direct digital connection. Additionally, its USB-C charging output delivers 5V/1.5A for compatible accessories. As a result, USB-C adds convenient flexibility to your modern audio setup.
Built-In Phono Preamp for Vinyl
Your turntable doesn't need its own separate speaker system. The selectable RCA analog/phono input features an integrated phono preamp, making the Kanto YU4 (2nd Gen) easy to connect with compatible vintage or modern turntables. When you're finished with a record, you can simply switch over to another connected source.
Flexible Analog and Digital Connectivity
YU4 gives you several ways to connect the devices you already use. Along with Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C, and the selectable RCA/phono input, you get a 3.5 mm auxiliary input and an optical input supporting audio up to 24-bit/96 kHz.
That flexibility makes it possible to connect sources such as a turntable, TV, computer, Wi-Fi transmitter, or other compatible audio accessories. Like a central hub for your everyday audio, the speakers let different sources share one compact system.
Add a Subwoofer When You Want More Bass
A dedicated subwoofer output gives you room to expand your system. When a subwoofer is connected, the Kanto YU4 (2nd Gen) automatically applies an 80 Hz high-pass filter. This reduces distortion and lets the speakers focus more closely on midrange and high-frequency detail for cleaner, more dynamic sound.
Acoustic-Grade MDF Cabinets
Rigid, rear-ported acoustic-grade MDF cabinets help minimize unwanted resonance while supporting the speaker's acoustic performance. Seamless silicone trim rings add a clean visual detail while helping reduce diffraction around the drivers.
Each speaker measures 5.5 inches wide, 8.1 inches deep, and 9.2 inches high. These compact dimensions make YU4 easy to work into a desk, shelf, speaker stand, or media console setup.
Flexible Placement Options
The Kanto YU4 (2nd Gen) includes a 1/4"-20 threaded hole on the bottom for mounting, giving you another option for positioning the speakers. Four-way knurled binding posts connect the speaker pair, while the included rubber feet provide a practical option for placement on suitable surfaces.
Control Your Sound From Your Seat
The included infrared remote keeps everyday controls within reach. Tactile silicone buttons let you manage volume, playback, input selection, bass, and treble. You can switch sources or fine-tune your sound without repeatedly reaching for the speakers.
