The second-generation Kanto YU4 powered bookshelf speakers re-engineer desktop and room audio with enhanced amplification, upgraded drivers, and modernized digital connectivity. Packing 160 watts of peak power (110W RMS) into acoustic-grade MDF cabinets, the YU4 Gen 2 provides smooth, balanced sound from a remarkably compact footprint.
Featuring 4-inch abaca-reinforced woofers and 1-inch silk dome tweeters, the YU4 Gen 2 covers a wide 60 Hz to 22 kHz frequency range with natural midrange and articulate high frequencies. The rear panel accommodates every listening source: plug in modern laptops via USB-C (supporting 24-bit/96kHz audio with device charging), stream wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.3, connect televisions via optical TOSLINK, or hook up a turntable directly using the RCA line/phono switchable input. An intelligent subwoofer output with automatic 80 Hz high-pass crossover redirects sub-bass away from the main drivers when a sub is attached, enabling the speakers to play louder and cleaner.
