Kanto YU4MW Bluetooth Powered Speakers - 140 Watts - Phono Preamp (Matte White)

Product Information

It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. Kanto's speakers come in all sorts of vibrant colors and even have a matte or gloss option for black and white. The YU4 speakers have their own built-in amp and switchable phono preamplifier, so you can directly connect a turntable and save space. The YU4 speakers are fitted with a 140w Class D amplifier that effortlessly fills your room with a thick, rich sound as well as an integrated phono pre-amp that lets you connect any turntable. Reasonably flat, at least I have not found any equalizer adjustments that I felt improved the sound.

My question is brought on by your opening few paragraphs up there and it’s this: in a small room where you can’t turn up the volume much, is it worth saving up for a nice pair of passive speakers and an amp, or are powered speakers the best way to go for now? As I mentioned above, I reviewed the KANTO TUK last month, and one of the highlights was the build quality and finishing. soundstage depth, while moving the speakers away from the rear wall will tend to have the opposite effect.Enjoy your vinyl collection with the in-built phono pre-amp, or switch to a line-level RCA for other sources like a CD player.

Obviously, turning the knob controls the volume, but pressing the knob cycles through the different inputs, while holding it in turns standby mode either on or off.Once you've decided which product you want, you can spread the cost by selecting from one of our TWO great finance options. The Kanto YU4 are quite big as well, meaning you will have to open up some real estate where you are placing them. These are quality active bookshelf speakers that can be used as desktop speakers because of this fact for much better overall sound. To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit.

Having a phono amplifier in the active speakers won’t aid audiophile listening but it’s a quick and compact method of listening to vinyl, especially on a desk environment. It offered a real 3D effect that didn’t depend on having the tweeter at ear height to work, ideal for any near-field speaker. MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS: Take your desktop setup to the next level by connecting YU4 to your computer via the RCA, AUX or Optical TOSLINK inputs. The final combination of guitar/drums/tambourine produces quite an intense noise that, no doubt, had the VU meters flickering upwards in the studio. If you're looking to rock out in a larger family room or living room, the YU6 with a SUB8 will do a better job, but this setup looks elegant and sounds great in a small- to medium-sized space.

I love being able to plug all of my gear into my powered speakers, and the YU4 delivers on that score.

Qualcomm aptX technology, the Kanto YU4 streams audio from your Bluetooth-compatible smartphone, tablet, or laptop with the same quality as using a wired connection. Those looking to significantly upgrade their audio experience without investing 2-3x the money into entry level audiophile grade speakers with a separate amp will find the Kanto YU4 a great choice. The fronts are almost identical with the active speaker also having a small led and Infrared receiver in the lower left corner for use with the included remote control and a volume knob and power button to the right. The YU4 has a 4-inch driver at its heart combined with a fairly common 1-inch silk dome tweeter aimed at reproducing high notes.

The SUB6 with the crossover set correctly really blends well with the Yu 4’s really helping to take the load of the 4” midrange woofers. Bluetooth: Bluetooth performance when paired with an aptX compatible device is remarkably good, with very much the same core sound signature with slightly compressed dynamics.
