Kanto Audio Yu2 Bookshelf Speakers

The New YU

Proudly designed in Canada, the YU2 desktop mini-monitor will make you believe that big sound can come in a small package. With its built-in soundcard, it can stream high-quality audio directly from your computer’s USB port, or connect directly to any 3.5mm AUX jack for maximum input flexibility. 3” composite drivers ensure a distortion-free bass and midrange, while the 3/4” silk dome tweeters effortlessly produce scintillating highs. A specially tuned bass-port on the rear extends the low end while keeping airflow away from your active workspace. If deep bass is your thing, simply connect a subwoofer to the SUB OUT port and revel in pure low-end bliss. Available in a variety of matte or gloss finishes to let you personalize your space.

ACCESSIBLE VOLUME KNOB

Tucked neatly out of the way at the top of your active speaker, the smoothly rotating knob doubles as a power switch.

INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Connect to the AUX input with the included Kanto 3.5mm cable to connect any device with a headphone jack to your YU2. Lighten the load on your computer’s CPU by connecting directly to YU2’s built-in DAC via a USB cable for a fully digital, high-quality audio connection. If you want a little more kick, connect a powered subwoofer.

REAR BASS PORT

The YU2 ‘s rear bass port has been carefully designed and tuned to eliminate port turbulence while extending bass response.
