Kanto YU4G2VMB Yu4 (2nd Gen) Powered Bookshelf Speakers in Black (Pair)
The Kanto YU4G2VMB Yu4 (2nd Gen) powered bookshelf speaker system combines 110 W total RMS amplification, Bluetooth 5.3, 24-bit/96 kHz USB-C audio and a selectable phono preamp. Sold as a stereo pair with one active and one passive speaker, it brings records, streamed music and compatible TV audio into a two-channel setup without a separate amplifier. Silk-dome tweeters and abaca-paper woofers reproduce natural detail, while a subwoofer output automatically engages 80 Hz filtering when a subwoofer is connected. A Black laminate finish completes the second-generation design's recognizable appearance.
Key Features
Natural Detail With Silk-Dome Tweeters
Each speaker pairs a 1 in silk-dome tweeter with a 4 in abaca-paper cone woofer, assigning high frequencies and mid/bass reproduction to dedicated drivers. The second-generation driver redesign focuses on detail and a more even tonal balance for records, streamed tracks and home entertainment, with a stated frequency response of 60 Hz-22 kHz.
More Power With 110 W Total RMS
Class-D amplification with DSP supplies 110 W RMS across the system, with a separate 160 W peak rating. The built-in amplifier powers both channels, so there is no need to match the pair to an external amplifier or receiver for stereo listening. The supplied 15 ft speaker wire links the active and passive speakers, and the included power cord connects the powered speaker to an outlet.
From Vinyl To Digital
Use the selectable RCA phono stage for a turntable, USB-C for a compatible laptop, or optical for a TV with a matching output. Both digital inputs accept 24-bit/96 kHz audio, while a 3.5 mm AUX input provides another wired connection. For wireless music from a compatible phone, Bluetooth 5.3 supports SBC and AAC codecs, giving you a clearly defined playback option alongside the wired inputs.
Smarter Bass With Automatic 80 Hz Filtering
The dedicated subwoofer output gives your stereo system a path to deeper bass with a separately purchased subwoofer. Connecting one activates an automatic 80 Hz high/low-pass filter, dividing bass duties between the speakers and subwoofer. Bass control also lets you tailor the system's low-frequency balance.
Black Finish And Flexible Placement
The Black laminate finish brings the familiar speaker design to your shelf, desktop or console. Swappable left/right channels let you choose which side holds the active speaker to suit your source and power connections. A 1/4 in-20 threaded bottom mounting hole provides an attachment point for compatible stands, sold separately, while the included silicone rubber feet support tabletop placement.
Remote Operation And USB-C Charging
The included infrared remote puts everyday operation in hand without reaching for the active speaker. A dedicated USB-C charging output supplies 5 V, 1.5 A and is a separate connection from the USB-C audio input. A 6 ft RCA-to-3.5 mm cable, user manual and quick start guide round out the supplied setup accessories.
