Kanto YU6 Powered Bookshelf Speakers in Matte Black
Bring a new level of in-depth audio to your entertainment space with the Kanto YU6 powered bookshelf speakers. Wherever you're listening or playing, you'll hear top-tier sound thanks to the internal design. It begins with the silk dome tweeters and 5.25-inch Kevlar® drivers that make up each of the two Kanto YU6 speakers. The silk brings refined high tones, while the strong Kevlar® drivers contend with high volume for authentic mid-range sound. No matter how high you crank it, the Kevlar components in the Kanto YU6 speakers ensure that they'll stay strong. The bookshelf speakers are flexible in their capabilities, too: you might be surprised at how many ways you can use the Kanto YU6 speakers.
Connect Your Way
Kanto carries a reputation for contemporary sound, and the Kanto YU6 speakers bring home more than just volume and quality sound. Both can connect to turntables directly thanks to a built-in phono preamp, or integrate directly into your existing sound system. Swapping between line-level and phono is simple. Both speakers can connect via Bluetooth as well for a simple connection and easy listening. The bookshelf speakers are great for a computer setup as well; plug the Kanto U6 speakers into a computer via connections like RCA, AUX or an optical input. Whatever your setup looks like, you'll hear sound in a whole new way as you play games or work from home. The Kanto YU6 are a great addition to any home theater setup as well. Use one of the two optical TOSLINK inputs to give them the ideal connection, and use the proper floor stands for the ultimate sound output.
Charge as You Play
Using the two speakers is simple thanks to an easy-to-use interface—just one knob allows users to control the volume, choose between inputs and activate standby mode. The Kanto YU6 are multitalented, too. You can easily charge a device like your phone from the speaker as you listen to music. Just plug in, power on and lean back as you hear your favorite playlists the way they were meant to be heard. Order yours from Abt or call our specialists if you have any questions.
