The Kanto YU4 is a pair of powered bookshelf speakers designed to deliver rich, spacious sound with clarity and detail. Each speaker features a 1-inch silk dome tweeter for bright, refined highs and a 4-inch Kevlar woofer for controlled, accurate low frequencies. The system includes a built-in Class D amplifier providing 70 watts total RMS power (35 watts per channel). Connectivity options are versatile, including Bluetooth 4.0 with Qualcomm aptX for high-quality wireless streaming, two optical (Toslink) digital inputs supporting up to 24-bit/96kHz PCM, an analog RCA input with a switchable phono preamp for turntables, a 3.5mm auxiliary input, and a mono RCA subwoofer output. The speakers also feature gold-plated binding posts with a 16-foot speaker wire to connect the passive right speaker to the powered left speaker. Additional features include a USB Type-A charging port (5V/1A), remote control with volume, input, tone, and balance controls, and automatic standby and power-up modes. The speakers measure approximately 5.5" W x 7.5" D x 8.7" H and weigh 6.9 lbs (active) and 5.5 lbs (passive). They come with a 2-year warranty and include accessories such as power cord, speaker wire, remote with batteries, auxiliary cable, rubber feet, and user manual.
