Flexible Connections That Meet Your Needs

Kanto is known for its upgraded audio equipment, and this pair of bookshelf speakers is proof. Unlike some gear, the Kanto YU4 pair is designed to connect in multiple ways, from a quick smartphone connection to a plugged-in home theater setup. The built-in phono preamp allows you to plug right into a turntable and listen to your favorite records. Integrated Bluetooth 4.0 with Qualcomm® aptX™ technology allows listeners to connect to their smartphones and other Bluetooth-enabled devices fast and wirelessly, too. The Kanto YU4 speakers make a great addition to a home entertainment sound system with optical TOSLINK inputs too, or if you spend more time at your desktop, plugging in via the RCA, AUX or Optical TOSLINK inputs gives you fast access to full sound that surrounds. For some of the best sound possible, pair them with the correct speaker stands.

Simple, Elegant Controls

Some modern speakers are designed with too many buttons and difficult controls, but the Kanto YU4 use just one intuitive knob. Rotate to increase or decrease the volume, push it in to move from input to input, or push in and hold to turn standby mode on and off. The automatic standby and power-up modes help to conserve power when not being used. When it's time for the music to start up, powering up happens fast, too.
