Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen) 200W Powered Bookshelf Speaker System with Bluetooth 5.3 - Pair
The Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen) delivers clear, balanced sound while offering flexible connectivity for everyday listening. Additionally, re-engineered drivers and updated DSP tuning provide greater scale, controlled bass, and detailed highs. Meanwhile, a redesigned Class-D amplifier delivers powerful performance without complicating your audio setup. Finally, versatile connections make switching between vinyl, wireless streaming, computers, and TV audio simple.
Greater Scale with More Power
The Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen) combines re-engineered drivers, custom DSP tuning, and a redesigned amplifier platform to deliver room-filling sound with greater dynamic range. With 130 watts RMS of total power and up to 200 watts peak, the speaker pair has the output needed for larger listening spaces while maintaining a composed presentation at different volume levels.
Want more presence without sacrificing clarity? The updated design delivers deeper bass extension while keeping vocals, instruments, and subtle details balanced across the frequency range.
Detailed Highs and Natural Midrange
A 1-inch silk dome tweeter handles the upper frequencies with clear, airy detail, while the 5.25-inch abaca-reinforced woofer adds controlled bass and natural midrange reproduction. Together, they give the Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen) a warm and balanced sound signature suited to music, movies, and games.
The speakers cover a frequency response of 55 Hz to 22 kHz, giving your favourite content both depth and definition without requiring multiple separate audio components.
Bluetooth 5.3 Makes Wireless Listening Simple
Bluetooth 5.3 with SBC and AAC support makes it easy to stream audio wirelessly from compatible devices. The Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen) lets you move between wireless listening and your wired sources without building your setup around one connection type.
That flexibility is especially useful when several devices share the same speaker system. Stream from your phone, then switch over to a turntable, television, or computer when you need it.
USB-C Audio for Modern Devices
USB-C adds another practical digital connection to the Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen). It supports audio playback up to 24-bit/96 kHz, giving compatible computers and other USB-C sources a direct path into the speaker system.
A USB-C charging output rated at 5V and 1.5A is also available, helping keep compatible devices powered while they remain part of your listening setup.
Connect Your Turntable with the Built-In Phono Preamp
Vinyl listeners can connect a compatible turntable directly through the RCA input with its selectable phono preamp. That means the Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen) can work with both vintage and modern turntables without requiring a separate phono preamp in the signal chain.
The selectable input also gives you the flexibility to use the RCA connection as a standard analog input when your source already provides the appropriate output.
Plenty of Inputs for a Flexible Audio Setup
The Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen) is built around more than one way to listen. Along with Bluetooth and USB-C, you get a 3.5 mm AUX input, optical input supporting up to 24-bit/96 kHz audio, and an RCA input with a selectable phono stage.
- Bluetooth 5.3 with SBC and AAC
- USB-C audio playback up to 24-bit/96 kHz
- Optical input up to 24-bit/96 kHz
- 3.5 mm auxiliary input
- RCA input with selectable phono preamp
- Subwoofer output
- USB-C charging output at 5V, 1.5A
This range of connections makes the speakers adaptable to a turntable, TV, computer, subwoofer, Wi-Fi transmitter, and other compatible audio sources or accessories.
Expand the Low End with a Subwoofer
If you want additional bass, the dedicated subwoofer output gives the Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen) room to grow with your system. When a subwoofer is connected, YU6 automatically applies an 80 Hz high-pass filter.
This allows the speakers to focus more heavily on the midrange and upper frequencies while the connected subwoofer handles deeper bass. The result is designed to provide cleaner sound, improved dynamics, and reduced distortion.
Rigid MDF Cabinets Help Control Resonance
Acoustic-grade MDF rear-ported cabinets give the Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen) a rigid foundation designed to minimize unwanted resonance. The larger cabinet volume also supports its acoustic performance, while seamless silicone trim rings provide refined detailing and help reduce diffraction around the drivers.
Each speaker measures 6.9 inches wide, 8.4 inches deep, and 10.7 inches high, making the pair suitable for shelves, stands, media consoles, and dedicated listening spaces.
Integrated Mounting Points Add Placement Flexibility
A 1/4"-20 threaded mounting hole on the bottom of each speaker gives you another placement option. Combined with their compact bookshelf format, the speakers can adapt to different room layouts while keeping your audio system visually streamlined.
Control the Sound Without Leaving Your Seat
The included infrared remote gives you direct control over the Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen) from across the room. Dedicated controls let you adjust volume, playback, input selection, bass, and treble without repeatedly reaching for the active speaker.
Auto-standby mode adds another layer of everyday convenience, helping the system fit naturally into a setup you use throughout the day.
Designed for Music, Movies, Games, and Vinyl
One of the biggest advantages of the Kanto YU6 (2nd Gen) is how easily it can serve different sources. You can stream music over Bluetooth, connect a turntable through the phono input, run your TV through optical, or connect your computer through USB-C.
Instead of dedicating separate speakers to different sources, YU6 can become the central audio system for a larger part of your entertainment setup.
